Concepts Computer ran two new Epson printers, the L210 model, for more than 12 hours to test its competence and durability and yes, the model delivers. I was quite impressed by the speed and the economical ink and this could be a unique selling point for students.

The Epson L210 was launched yesterday at Concepts Computer with the presence of Concepts Computer General Manager Vincent Pao and Marketing Executive Zul Abd Rahman and Epson Sales Manager Eric Tang.

What’s unique about the printer is that the ink system is located in an extended column so you don’t really have to open up your printer and the refilling is quite straight forward. The other awesome thing about the Epson printers is the after sale service. It has a one-year warranty and you will be able to get it fixed quickly.

The ink is sold t $10 per bottle and this is considered one of the cheapest ink bottles in the market and it can last up to 4,000 pages (awesome!!). This time round, Concepts Computer will be having a promotional price of $198 and it comes with four 70ml bottles of original ink in black, cyan, magenta and yellow.

According to Zul, Concepts Computer will be seeking out customers’ response to both L210 and ME-101 promotions before it goes back to its original price of $228 and $148 respectively.

He also mentioned that Concepts Computer will be setting up an Epson booth at the Fatabarak Trade Fair from October 25 to 28 and also at the Charity Expo in the Hassanal Bolkiah Indoor Stadium from October 27 to 28.
