Review of the Epson L4160 ink Tank printing The Best

We recently reviewed the Epson L485 printer and were very impressed with its quality. This printer made me fall in love with Ink Tank printers so much that I bought one for my personal use. After using the Epson printer for a few months.

I can comfortably say that the company makes high quality printers. However, just because I had a good experience with one of the Epson printers, it doesn't necessarily mean that all of their printers are of the same quality.

That's why, when we got our hands on a brand new printer from Epson, we decided to give it a full review. The printer we'll be reviewing today is the Epson L4160 (₹ 17,799), another ink tank all-in-one from Epson that looks really promising on paper.

However, does the printer repeat the success story of the Epson L485 or fall short of our expectations? Let's find out by taking a full review of the new Epson L4160 All-in-One Ink Tank Printer:

Epson L4160 Printer Specifications

Before we begin our review, it is good to eliminate the specifications of the paper. While I don't care about specs when it comes to a smartphone review, it makes sense to see just what a printer has to offer. After all, you will only buy a printer that meets your specific needs and criteria. With that in mind, here are all the specs you need to know about the Epson L4160:

Design and build quality

Coming to the front of the printer, this is where all of your printer's controls are located. The buttons are easily accessible and they also have a good click which I certainly like.

LCD Panel

There is also a 1.4 inch color LCD panel which comes in handy when selecting print or copy mode, changing settings or accessing any other functionality you need. You can also easily see the printer's ink level from the front, which is a small but very nifty addition.

Since there is nothing important on the sides, let's take a look at the back of the printer. The rear of the printer houses both the power port and the USB connection , both of which are easily accessible. To conclude, I am really happy with the design and build quality of the printer. I'm also impressed that Epson was able to cram so much into such a compact body that weighs just 5.5kg, which is even lighter than the Epson L485 printer we reviewed earlier.

Connection and compatibility

Just like other Epson printers, the Epson L4160 can be connected to your PC or Mac using a number of different connections. The first and the most obvious way to connect the Epson L4160 to your device is through the USB port on the back.

Simply connect the printer to your laptop or desktop computer and you are good to go. The best part is that you don't need to install any drivers. As soon as you connect the printer to your PC or Mac, you are good to go.
