The Epson EW-M5071FT is a discontinued A3-capable EcoTank inkjet multifunction printer that offered low-cost, high-volume printing. It is a Japanese domestic model (a “mizu-doku” or “Japanese used” product) that you may find available for import in some markets. Since it is an older model, a newer equivalent may be a better option for most users.
Key features
- EcoTank system: Uses large refillable ink tanks instead of traditional cartridges, allowing for a high volume of prints at a low cost per page.
- A3 printing: Capable of printing on paper sizes up to A3 (29.7cm x 43.2cm or 11.7 x 17 inches).
- All-in-one functions: Includes print, scan, and copy capabilities.
- Automatic Document Feeder (ADF): The ADF handles multi-page scanning, copying, and duplexing.
- Double-sided printing and scanning: Prints and scans on both sides of the paper automatically.
- Connectivity: Supports USB, Wi-Fi, and wired LAN connections.
- High-volume printing: Designed for users who print a large number of pages, as the initial cost of the printer is offset by the low cost of bottled ink refills.
