Mascom International stocks the Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle at KSh 2,500, brand new and sealed, with 70ml of Epson dye-based cyan ink for the L8050 and L18050 photo printers. Its part code is C13T09D200, printed on the original box. The Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle refills the cyan tank, the blue-green base colour behind skies, water, denim and cool shadows. Our shop sits in Nairobi CBD at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, and the bottle is ready for collection or delivery. Staff at the counter can check the part code against your printer before you pay.
Designed for wedding photographers, graphic design students and print kiosks, the Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle keeps blues true when the cyan tank runs dry. A low cyan tank shows up fast: skies turn grey, greens lose depth and skin can lean warm or red. Many owners only notice after a stack of prints has gone wrong. Refilling with the Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle brings the colour back into balance using the ink the printer was built around. Print kiosks in Eldoret and near the University of Nairobi tell us graduation season empties their colour tanks quickly.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unboxed bottles of unknown origin, Mascom International sells cyan ink sealed in Epson packaging. The Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle is KSh 500 below the Epson 108 Cyan bottle we stock for the same machines, and the six-colour 057 set costs KSh 15,000. Buyers throughout Kenya report steadier colour once they stop mixing loose ink into their tanks. Visit the store to inspect the box, or message us on WhatsApp and pay when the parcel reaches your door.
Common Questions About the Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle
What is the Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle price in Kenya?
Mascom International sells the Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle for KSh 2,500 in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed in Epson packaging. You receive one 70ml bottle with a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects, and you pay only when it arrives at your door. Black and Light Cyan 057 bottles in this batch are also KSh 2,500 each, so a mixed order is easy to total. Buying all six colours together costs KSh 15,000.
Is the Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle cheaper than the Epson 108 Cyan for an L8050?
Yes, the Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle is KSh 500 cheaper, at KSh 2,500 against KSh 3,000 for the Epson 108 Cyan at Mascom International. Both are Epson-made bottles sold for the L8050 and L18050. For a studio refilling cyan once a month, that gap adds up to KSh 6,000 over a year. Choose the 108 only if your printer's manual names 108 and you want to stay with it; otherwise the 057 saves money. Unsure? Send us a photo of your printer box on WhatsApp.
Will Mombasa's coastal humidity affect the Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle?
A sealed Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle is protected from humidity until you open it, so keeping one on the Kenyan coast is not a problem. After opening, keep the cap screwed tight, because open air in Mombasa, Malindi and Kilifi carries salt and moisture you do not want near the ink. Store the bottle in a closed drawer away from sea-facing windows. Keep photo paper in its sealed pack too, since damp paper curls and can smudge fresh prints.
Is the Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle right for my printer, or should I buy something else?
The Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle is right for you if you run an Epson L8050 or L18050 and the cyan tank is low. Photographers, event printers and art students get the most from it. It is the wrong buy for owners of four-colour EcoTank office printers, HP or Canon ink tank machines, or any laser printer, since those use different ink systems. Those buyers should send us their printer model on WhatsApp so we can match the right refill.
Why do my photos look too red or yellow, and will the Epson 057 cyan fix it?
A warm, red or yellow cast in your prints often means the cyan tank is low or a cyan nozzle is blocked. Topping up with the Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle fixes the first cause. If the cast remains after refilling, run a nozzle check from the printer menu, then a head cleaning if lines are missing. Customers across Nairobi tell us this simple check saves them from returning a printer that only needed fresh ink.
How long will one Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle last in a photo studio?
One Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle holds 70ml, and a full set of six prints about 2,100 4R photos on composite yield figures. How long the cyan lasts depends on your subjects. Beach shoots, blue backdrops, school uniforms and outdoor events draw heavily on cyan, while studio portraits on white backgrounds use less. A busy studio printing a few hundred photos a week will empty its tanks far sooner than a family printing albums at home.
Can I pay for the Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle with M-Pesa?
Yes, you can pay for the Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle with M-Pesa at our Kimathi Street store or when your delivery arrives. Cash is also welcome. Pay-on-arrival means you can check the Epson packaging and part code C13T09D200 before money changes hands. Small businesses often prefer M-Pesa because the payment message works as a ready record for their books and tax filings. Lipa na M-Pesa details are shared on WhatsApp when you confirm your order, so you never pay a number you cannot verify.
Does the Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle spill when refilling?
The Epson 057 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle is designed for clean refilling with little risk of spills. Its nozzle fits the tank opening, and the ink drains while the bottle stands upright in the tank, stopping when the tank is full. Remove it straight up rather than tilting it sideways, and keep a tissue nearby for the cap. Refill on a flat table rather than a shaky desk, especially in a busy cyber café where people pass behind you.
Technical Specifications
Ink and Colour
- Cyan dye-based ink — the blue-green primary that builds skies, sea, foliage and cool shadow tones.
- Part of the six-colour 057 family with Black, Magenta, Yellow, Light Cyan and Light Magenta.
- Dye ink dissolves completely in its liquid base, giving glossy prints bright, saturated colour.
- Epson-made formula tuned to the print head, reducing the chance of blocked nozzles and streaks.
- Box carries part code C13T09D200, the reference our staff use to match your order.
Printer Compatibility
- Works with the Epson L8050, the A4 EcoTank model built for photo printing at home or in studios.
- Works with the Epson L18050, which handles A3+ sheets for posters, menus and exhibition prints.
- Refills the cyan tank only — the Light Cyan tank beside it needs its own bottle.
- Will not fit HP, Canon or Brother ink tank printers, nor Epson cartridge models.
- Your printer's manual and original box list the ink number, so confirm 057 before ordering.
Yield and Running Cost
- Holds 70ml of cyan ink, matching the volume of each other bottle in the range.
- A complete 057 set of six yields about 2,100 4R photos on composite yield figures.
- At KSh 15,000 for six, photo printing runs at roughly KSh 7 per 4R print.
- This single bottle works out to about KSh 36 for every millilitre of ink.
- Blue-heavy images such as seascapes drain cyan faster than portraits on white backgrounds.
Bottle and Filling
- Nozzle drops straight into the tank opening, letting the ink drain without any squeezing.
- Ink stops flowing once the tank is full, so overfilling and drips are rare.
- Refills need no tools — remove the caps, insert the bottle, then wait for it to empty.
- Threaded cap reseals a half-used bottle firmly, keeping it ready for the next top-up.
- Small, light bottle travels easily in a camera bag for on-site event printing.
Storage and Handling
- Store the unopened box upright in a cool room, never on a sunny windowsill.
- Check the use-by date on the packaging and finish the ink before it passes.
- After refilling, tighten the cap fully so air and moisture stay out of the bottle.
- Cyan ink stains skin and fabric, so refill away from clothes, curtains and upholstery.
- Lift the bottle straight out of the tank to avoid drips across the printer body.
