Reliable 9-Pin Impact Technology:

The LX-350 uses Epson’s proven, durable 9-pin impact dot matrix technology, the gold standard for printing on multi-part forms, continuous paper, and carbon-copy stationery that inkjet and laser printers simply cannot handle. Because it physically strikes the paper through a ribbon, it can print through multiple layers at once, making it indispensable for businesses printing invoices, receipts, delivery notes, waybills, cheques, and official forms. This is a workhorse built for the real demands of busy offices, shops, logistics firms, and government operations across Kenya.

Fast Printing up to 357 cps:

Despite its compact size, the LX-350 is fast. It prints at up to 357 characters per second in high-speed draft mode (357 cps at 12 cpi, 347 cps at 10 cpi, and 390 cps at 15 cpi), so waiting is not an option even during high-volume printing runs. It also offers draft and Near Letter Quality (NLQ) modes for cleaner output when needed, at a resolution of 240 x 144 dpi. This speed makes it ideal for environments that print large numbers of invoices, reports, and forms every day.

Multi-Part Form Printing: Original Plus 4 Copies

The LX-350’s standout capability is multi-part form printing. It can print an original plus up to four copies in a single pass, making it perfect for carbon and carbonless multi-part stationery such as shipping forms, invoices, receipts, and cheques. This is a crucial function for logistics, retail, wholesale, accounting, and administrative businesses where duplicate and triplicate documents are a daily necessity, and a key reason dot matrix printers remain irreplaceable in these sectors.

Economical to Run: 4-Million-Character Ribbon

The LX-350 is designed to keep running costs low. Its ribbon has a generous yield of 4 million characters, meaning you print far more before needing a replacement, and ribbons are inexpensive compared to ink or toner. Combined with low power consumption, just 27W when printing and 1.1W on standby, with Energy Star qualification, the LX-350 is one of the most economical printers to run, delivering excellent long-term value and a very low cost per page.

Built to Last: Exceptional Reliability

Reliability is where the LX-350 truly shines. It has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 10,000 operating hours, a print head rated for 400 million strokes, and a total print volume capacity of 20 million lines. This rugged durability means it keeps working dependably day after day, year after year, in demanding business environments, a genuine long-term investment that businesses can rely on.
