The Epson L3258 boasts a low cost ink system for personal and home office printing. The system also provides a large ink capacity, probably enough to last for two years before users need to buy a new set of inks.

The compact multifunction printer doesn’t draw the ink it needs to print and copy pages from ink cartridges, but instead from a set of tanks, each of which is refillable.

Features and Highlights

Ink Tank System

Many Epson inkjet printers use ink cartridges, while many others use ink tanks. The Epson L3258 is one of the latter. This ink supply system has advantages and disadvantages. The ink is cheaper but the printer is pricier. The ink capacity is larger but refilling the ink tanks is not as effortless as replacing ink cartridges.

The design of the ink reservoir makes it easier for users to monitor the ink level. It sits in front and has four see-through walls for each of its tanks. On the other hand, ink cartridges are usually not visible from outside the printer because the part that holds them doesn’t have a transparent wall.

Moreover, because the tanks sit in front, they are more accessible for refills. While it takes more time to refill a tank compared to replacing a cartridge, it is still a very easy task to do by anyone.

Paper Capacity

The paper handling mechanism in the Epson L3258 includes a rear paper tray that can take up to one hundred sheets for either printing or copying and a front paper tray into which every printout is dropped by the printer and remains there until it is removed from the tray. The latter can hold up to thirty A4 pages or twenty photos that are printed on glossy photo paper.

Why You Need Epson L3258

There is nothing sophisticated about the ink pads. These are not as important as the main components of the L3258, such as print head and ink tanks. However, the pads are required for the printer to be operational not because it cannot run without them but because Epson designs it that way.

Without these pads, excess ink would stain both your printer and the desk on which it sits. It may even cause damage to the printer. However, it is the owner who should decide whether to stop or keep printing. By eliminating the choice, Epson has made it difficult for its customers to repair their hardware. Epson L3258 Resetter is the utility that provides that choice.

It is a shame that Epson hasn’t made it easier for users to fix the ink pad issue, so it’s not surprising that there are some users who feel exasperated. Sometimes there are print jobs that are so important they must be completed quickly. If the printer is suddenly unusable at that critical time, using this reset tool would be a better choice than contacting Epson.
