Low-Cost EcoTank Photo Printing
Instead of relying on conventional cartridges, the Epson L8050 uses high-capacity refillable ink tanks with 70 ml ink bottles. This helps keep running costs low for users who print large quantities of photographs and documents.

The included ink supply is capable of producing substantial print volumes, including up to 1,900 high-quality 10 x 15 cm photos under stated conditions. Epson also states yields of up to 1,500 10 x 15 cm colour photos, 2,600 black pages and 5,400 colour pages depending on the applicable print conditions.
