Epson launches revolutionary EcoTank printers in New Zealand with up to two years’ worth of ink included
Ultimate convenience and practicality for households
Auckland, 29 January 2015 – Epson has revolutionised household printing in New Zealand and made it incredibly convenient
by launching its first generation EcoTank printer, the L355, that comes with up to two years of ink included. This means
no regular trips or orders to buy ink and the knowledge that, paper aside, most costs associated with printing are
already paid for.
EcoTank printers come with enough ink in the box to print up to a massive 4,000 pages in black and 6,500 pages in
colour2, which for most households is around two years’ worth of ink1, without needing to change an ink cartridge. The
L355 offers the ultimate in convenience via a new way of printing that delivers hassle-free results.
General Manager Sales & Marketing – Consumer Division for Epson Australia/New Zealand Bruce Bealby said, “EcoTank printers and printing are all
about convenience and practicality. The L355 is ideal for those households with basic printing requirements that don’t
want to continually order ink on a regular basis. The technology is proven and has been highly successful in other
markets and now it’s New Zealand’s turn. These EcoTank models are ideal for all your day to day printing needs such as
recipes, homework, e-mails and photos and with two years’ worth of ink included1, users know exactly where they stand
from a cost point of view.”
EcoTank printers feature ultra-high-capacity ink tanks that can be refilled using Epson genuine ink easily and
efficiently. The printers are set up in three simple steps: fill the ink tanks, turn the printer on and prime the ink
system – and when it’s time to refill, affordable, hassle-free ink bottles make the process easy, without the need for
cartridges. Drip-free bottle spouts ensure refilling the ink tanks is clean and hassle-free.
The L355 has print, copy and scanning functionality. There is also Wi-Fi connectivity for easier sharing and positioning
around the home and Epson iPrint compatibility means users can print quickly and easily from smartphones and tablets.
The L355 is available in Harvey Norman stores across New Zealand now at $449.
The range of EcoTank printers in New Zealand will be extended later this year with more models featuring additional
functionality making them ideal for small businesses and offices.
