Review: Is the Price of Epson L3060 Corresponds Performance?
Short Video Clip
Let me start this blog review with a quick video tech review which I’ve posted on my YouTube Channel. In the video, you’ll get to see how the Epson L3060 looks like and and its functions.
For parents, aside from all the hectic they’re all facing every day in their respective work places; homework of their children are also waiting for their help at home. And this usually involves printing LOTS of papers. And finding a printing shop is always a daunting task.
There were lots of compact inkjet printers have gone released are now in their last editions simply because they lack practicality that end-users left bad reviews which can be easily found online. But this Epson L3060 has that feature package to rightfully call it an easy-to-use and efficient affordable printer.
This actually can best suit also to any households with members working in the corporate world and many more.
How Easy It Is To Use
From the unboxing, you can plug the AC power cord to the power source, squeeze in all those inks into their designated tanks according to color and you’re all set. Well, you actually have to to do some pulls for the control panel, output tray, feather guard and paper support.
Then to the control panel.
- The left and right lights indicate the network status.
Green light-left: Turns on while the printer is trying to connect to a wireless (Wi-Fi) network, or fashes while communicating.
Orange light-right: Flashes when a problem with the printer’s wireless (Wi-Fi) network connection occurs.
The lights flash alternately or simultaneously while initializing or making network settings. - Turns the printer on or off.
Do not turn off while the power light is flashing (while the printer is operating or processing data).
Unplug the power cord when the power light is off. - When a network error occurs, pressing this button cancels the error. Hold this button down for more than three seconds to make Wi-Fi auto setup by the WPS push button.

The Looks
As mentioned in the video, the L3060 is clean since Epson manages to do away with those bulgy ink tanks that was included like add-ons only in the previous model and editions.
Now, the ink tank is actually incorporated in the body of the printer, making it seamless.
The Verdict
Epson L3060 is a very good buy. With a price range of AED 690/- to AED 750/-, this printer will sit in one corner of your house, always hungry for work to be done. Epson says, this is the “Ultra-Low-Cost Cartridge-Free Printing” machine. Couldn’t agree more to that! Performance corresponds to the price.
Any downsides? None… so far.
