Bottom Lines 

Inkjet printers are now out of fashion because these printers have very poor quality printing and their page yield is also low while being compared to that of the ink tank printers.

The ink of inkjet printers has a tendency to dry up quickly if we do not print regularly. All these problems have come to an end with the ink tank printers. 

Epson L3150 and L3152 are ink tank printers that make your printing flexible with advanced features.

Both of them have efficient ink reservoirs that are able to do both monochrome and chromatic printing at a very low cost. Both of these printers are compact in size. 

The only difference between these two printers is that Epson L3152 supports MacOS while L3150 does not. So if you want to print from an Apple laptop, you must buy Epson L3152 instead of L3150.

But if you do not require this extra advantage, you can easily go with the L3150.
