Prints an average of 300 pp. per month, you can forget about refills for 3 years! Each subsequent set of ink will last for the same number of prints, ensuring a record low cost of ownership for this device.

Not only does this MFP remain cost-effective, compact, and easy to use, but it also gets new features such as Wi-Fi Direct, LCD screen with control panel, and direct print from memory cards. All of this, combined with the ability to print without margins, makes the Epson L456 a truly top-of-the-line model capable of meeting any needs of today’s users.”.
