Everything your home office needs. One printer. The Epson EcoTank L5290 is the compact all-in-one ink tank printer that replaces the ink cartridge cost cycle with a refillable tank system — print, scan, copy, and fax from a single device that connects to your home or office network via Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, or Ethernet, and manages all functions through the Epson Smart Panel app from any device in the household.

The EcoTank ink tank system is the reason the L5290 pays for itself over time. Instead of buying replacement cartridges every few hundred pages, the L5290's large, visible ink tanks are refilled with affordable Epson 003 ink bottles — a set that delivers significantly more pages per refill than any equivalent cartridge system at a fraction of the cost. The front-facing transparent ink windows let you see how much ink remains at a glance rather than discovering an empty cartridge mid-print. The spill- and error-free refilling mechanism uses designated nozzles that accept only the correct bottle orientation — no mess, no guesswork.

The automatic document feeder handles multi-page documents for scanning, copying, and faxing without manual page-by-page loading — place a stack of up to 30 pages in the feeder and walk away. The fax function includes 100 pages of storage memory, so incoming faxes are received and held even when the printer is out of paper — no missed faxes during paper reload. PC-Fax enables sending faxes directly from a connected computer without printing first. Broadcast Fax sends to multiple recipients simultaneously.

Epson's Heat-Free Technology means no warm-up time before printing and significantly lower power consumption than laser alternatives. The 5760×1440 dpi print resolution delivers sharp text and clear colour for documents, photos, and mixed-content printing. Scan resolution is up to 1200 dpi optical for document digitisation.

Wi-Fi and Ethernet cover every connectivity scenario — network printing for all devices in the household or small office without physical connection. The Epson Smart Panel app enables printing and scanning directly from smartphones and tablets, with a simplified setup guide for first-time configuration. The LCD screen on the printer provides direct function control without a connected device.

For offices that need auto-duplex, faster print speed, higher page yield, and fully pigment waterproof ink, see the Epson EcoTank L6490. The L5290 is the right choice for home offices and small teams with moderate daily printing volumes who want all four functions — including fax and ADF — at a more accessible price.
