The Epson L3255 is a 3-in-1 device powered by a printing technology that doesn’t rely on heat. Instead, it relies on what’s officially called a Piezo element, offering some benefits like lower power consumption (less electricity used), faster first-page-out time, less tear and wear on internal parts, and higher reliability.

Design-wise, there is one thing that sets it apart from most A4 EcoTank printers. The shape is the same. It’s rectangular, with a bulge on the front right to hold all the ink tanks. What’s different is the color. While others are mostly in black or white with some accents, the Epson L3255 sports two distinctive colors. The top cover is blue, the rest is white.

Features and Highlights

High-Capacity Ink Tanks

The more you print, the more ink you’ll need. A printer like the Epson L3255 can help you save money because it uses ink tanks instead of cartridges. The initial price is higher, but the long-term savings on ink is more than just make up for it. 

The four ink tanks can hold enough ink to print thousands of pages, so you’ll refill it much less often than cartridges. When any of them runs out of ink, it can be refilled with a color-coded bottled ink.

Printing from Almost Any Device

Most of the time you may print from your Windows PC, but with the Epson L3255’s Wi-Fi support, you can directly print from your tablet or any other compatible device as long as you are within range and use Epson Smart Panel or Epson iPrint. The second one is part of Epson Connect.

Wi-Fi Direct is another option for wireless printing. Its range is shorter, but it’s quick to set up and doesn’t need a router as a middleman.

Epson Connect

There are three components that make up Epson Connect. The first one is Epson iPrint, an app to support wireless printing. Epson Email Print lets you print without demanding you to install anything, but you need to set up the printer to receive print jobs by email. On the other hand, Remote Print Driver helps you print remotely.

The last two components require an account registration. As for the first one, it depends on what you do with it. An account is not necessary if you only print or scan using your local Wi-Fi network, but it becomes a requirement if you want to use its cloud-based functionality, like scanning pages to cloud.

One black ink bottle has a page yield of more than four thousand pages. Three color ink bottles are worth more than seven thousand pages. These are numbers that cartridges, not even the XL versions, can compete with. Ink bottles are much more inexpensive than cartridges. This is why ink tank printers are strongly recommended for moderate to high-volume printing needs.

The Epson L3255 also requires an installed software driver just like any other printer regardless of the ink system. Your Windows PC cannot operate the printer without the driver. You can click the link below to download Epson L3255 Driver for Windows:
