Epson EcoTank L11050 Review—The Right Tool for the Job

While A4 is the most prevalent standard document size worldwide, it does not always cut it. Projects such as charts, photos, posters, and technical drawings need a larger canvas for visual appeal. This is where the A3 standard comes in. When working with A3-size projects, users need an A3 printer to accomplish the task, such as the Epson EcoTank L11050, which is the subject of this review. Measuring 498 mm × 358 mm × 165 mm and weighing 6.4 kg, the Epson EcoTank L11050 is a compact A3 printer (40% more compact than its predecessor, according to Epson) that has a matte-black exterior, making it easy to install in any work environment.
