- 5,760 x 1,440 dpi maximum resolution with an expanded 6-ink colour gamut (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Light Cyan, Light Magenta) for lab-quality photo prints
- Refillable ink tank system — genuine Epson T673 ink bottles yield up to 1,800 4R photos or up to 5,400 pages per colour bottle, keeping cost-per-print far below cartridge printers
- Built-in Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) plus Epson iPrint app support, so you can print straight from a phone anywhere in the house or shop — handy for Nairobi apartments and small offices

For cyber cafés, stationery shops and small studios around Nairobi that print ID photos, certificates and event discs daily, the L805's refillable tanks mean you're not restocking pricey cartridges every week. It's also a solid pick for photographers doing on-site 4R photo printing at weddings and graduations, where guests want instant prints before they leave the venue.
Who It's Ideal For
- Cyber cafés and stationery shops printing ID photos, certificates and documents at high volume
- Wedding and event photographers offering instant 4R photo prints and printed event CDs/DVDs
- Home users who print family photos regularly and want cartridge-free running costs
- Small churches and schools burning and printing labelled CDs/DVDs for events
Who Should Consider Something Else
- Offices needing fast, high-volume black-and-white document printing — a mono laser printer will be cheaper per page for text-only work
- Anyone needing automatic double-sided (duplex) printing, which the L805 does not support
- Buyers who print large A3+ posters regularly, since the L805 tops out at A4 (with banner printing up to 1117.6mm long via manual feed)
Pros
- Expanded 6-ink colour gamut delivers genuinely photo-lab-quality prints at 5,760dpi
- Refillable ink tank system drastically cuts cost per photo versus cartridge printers
- Built-in Wi-Fi and Epson iPrint make phone-to-printer printing simple
- Direct CD/DVD printing is a rare feature at this price point
- Wide voltage tolerance (100–240V) suits Kenya's power supply without extra equipment
Cons
- No automatic duplex printing — double-sided documents must be flipped manually
- USB 2.0 only, no USB-C or Ethernet port
- Initial ink tank filling is messier than simply swapping in a cartridge
If you'd rather have a newer refillable MegaTank system from a different brand, the Canon PIXMA G540 Wireless Refillable MegaTank Inkjet Photo Printer (KES 38,000) is a close alternative in the same price bracket, also built around low-cost refillable ink. Choice between the two often comes down to which ink bottles are easier to restock locally.
"I've bought many items from here over the years, phones, laptops. The products are of quality, durable and affordable." — Diana Chore, Google review
Verdict: At KES 36,000, the Epson L805 suits anyone printing photos or event discs regularly in Kenya — cyber cafés, event photographers and photo-loving families alike will recoup the refillable tank's low running costs within their first few hundred prints, in exchange for giving up duplex printing and USB-C.
How much does the Epson L805 cost in Kenya?
The Epson L805 starts at KES 36,000 at trewrld, with genuine T673 ink bottles sold separately for refills.
Can the Epson L805 print directly on CDs and DVDs?
Yes — it prints directly onto the surface of inkjet-printable CDs and DVDs using the included CD/DVD tray, no adhesive labels needed.
Will the L805 work fine on Kenyan power without a stabilizer?
Yes, it's rated for 100–240V AC input, so it runs directly on Kenya's standard 240V mains. We'd still recommend a basic surge protector given local power fluctuations.
