Epson L5190 is the replacement model of Epson L565 Printer and so i go for it and Buying New Epson L5190 printer and replacing my old Epson L355 Printer is huge mistake, for my part i did some research and I'm convince to buy this printer rather than Epson L565 Series.
The One thing i don't like in this printer. is the paper settings of the printer, it affects all the the copying process. like if i want to copy a Legal size paper but the paper size is set to Letter size paper. the copy will be all Letter size you have to set it everytime when you want to copy different sizes and it makes me mad, because i use it in my business when you have to copy different sizes.... From Legal or Letter and A4 Sizes. it a waste of paper if i got it wrong....
And this is all my opinions base from the overviews from their website.
Space-saving Design, Spill-free Refilling
Compact and sleek, the new tank design is integrated into the printer to allow the printer to have a small footprint. Enjoy spill-free and error-free refilling with individual bottles which have unique key nozzles that fit only into their respective tanks.
And i think...
1. The Space Saving Design is true but you need high space above of your printer. because of the paper feeder and the scanner is too bulky to lift. when do you have secondary printer.
2. The ink refill is super no more mess!!!
Superb Savings & Page Yield
Don’t compromise on cost as you print. With Epson’s EcoTank L5190, you’ll be able to save costs as each set of bottle inks has an ultra-high yield of 7,500 for colour and 4,500 pages for black.
And i think...
1. I did print so test page but i think my old Epson L355 saves more ink while printing even i print the same documents.
Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct Connectivity
Experience a world of wireless convenience with access to easy and flexible shared printing and mobile printing. The added advantage of Wi-Fi Direct allows you to connect up to 8 devices to the printer without a router.
And i think...
1. The Wi-Fi and Lan Connection is the best and easy to setup.

And i think..
1. This is where my problem starts when i want print a legal paper by network connection and printer is setup for Letter size paper. the printer sends a error and says paper size mismatch from paper settings. so i have to go all the way to the printer to press OK button to be able to start the printing in network. i did find some tweaks to prevent this from happening, i just turn off all the paper setting in the printer from paper change notification to paper errors. now i can print normally like my old printer.
2. I'm not using other connection features of the printer so i don't know the benefits of Cloud printing and Epson Email print.
Remarkable Quality and Speed
The L5190 prints at a high printing resolution of 5760 x 1400 dpi, delivering exceptionally high quality prints for all your needs. You will appreciate the fast print speeds of up to 10ipm for black and 5.0ipm for colour. In addition, the L5190 is capable of printing borderless photos up to 4R.
And i think...
1. Yes! its true Epson L5190 has the speed i tested it from photocopy and printing. i print two identical picture from my L355 and L5190, I started printing "High Quality" in L355 and fallowed by L5190. The Epson L5190 is already finish and the L355 is at middle of the printing.
Automatic Document Feeder
The L5190 is equipped with a 30-sheets ADF unit for convenient scanning and copying of multipage documents.
And i thik...
1. A lots of paper jams from scanning or copying from ADF Feeder. basically you have to wait and watch until it finish.
100-Page Fax Storage Memory
The L5190 Broadcast Fax and PC-fax functions allow you to send a fax digitally with your computer, complete with a 100-page storage memory that ensures your incoming faxes will be received if the printer is out of paper or ink.
And i think,
1. I'm not using it.
Epson Warranty for Peace of Mind
Enjoy warranty coverage of up to 2 years or 30,000 prints, whichever comes first, for maximum value from your printer and freedom from worries over its maintenance. Epson’s warranty includes coverage of printhead, which is most important for a printer designed for high volume printing.
And i think...
1. Your Epson printer will be good as new. after 4 years of more even you printed over 50,000 pages.
if your using it at home i highly recommend it. but for business, make some more research first for better printer.
