Overview
The Epson L805 is a compact, photo-specialized inkjet printer that utilizes Micro Piezo technology to deliver high-quality prints with precision and longevity. It supports six-color individual dye-based inks, including photo black and gray inks, to enhance color depth and grayscale accuracy. With a maximum print resolution of 5760 x 1440 dpi, the L805 is tailored for photo enthusiasts seeking vibrant, detailed images. The device supports borderless printing up to A4 size and features a USB 2.0 interface for straightforward connectivity. It is designed to accommodate Epson’s Cli-8 ink bottles, which facilitate economical refilling and minimize waste through a continuous ink supply system (CISS).
The printer supports direct printing from compatible memory cards and cameras using PictBridge technology, eliminating the need for a PC in some scenarios. Its optical sensor and ink system are engineered to monitor ink levels accurately, ensuring consistent performance. While the L805 offers convenience and economy for photo printing, it maintains a modest print speed of up to 37 pages per minute in black and white draft mode, and slower in high-quality photo mode, which is standard for photo-centric devices.

Key Advantages
The Epson L805 excels with its six-color dye ink system, delivering superior photo color fidelity and dynamic range. Its borderless printing capability up to A4 size is ideal for photo prints without trimming. The integrated continuous ink supply system significantly reduces printing costs by allowing ink bottle refills and minimizes downtime from ink replacement. Direct printing from SD cards and USB devices adds versatility and convenience. The Micro Piezo printhead technology offers precise droplet control, resulting in sharp and vibrant images. Additionally, the printer’s compact design suits home and small office environments efficiently.
Limitations
The L805’s print speed is relatively slow for standard documents, especially in high-quality photo mode, which may not be suitable for high-volume office printing. It lacks wireless connectivity options like Wi-Fi or Ethernet, limiting networking flexibility. The printer is primarily focused on photo printing, so text document quality and multifunction features such as scanning or copying are absent. The use of dye-based inks may result in less archival durability compared to pigment inks under certain conditions. The absence of an LCD display restricts user interface capabilities and real-time status viewing. Also, this model is optimized for photo paper rather than plain paper, which can affect cost effectiveness when printing documents.
