Mascom International stocks the Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle at KSh 2,300, brand new and sealed in its original Epson box. This genuine Epson refill carries product code C13T03V24A and holds 70ml of cyan ink, the blue member of the four-colour 101 range. The Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle suits the EcoTank L4150, L4160, L6160, L6170 and L6190 family, plus several related models listed below. It is ready for collection at our store in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or for pay-on-arrival delivery to any county in Kenya.
Designed for teachers, NGO field staff, estate agents and marketing teams, the Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle handles the colour side of everyday printing. Cyan does more work than most people expect. It forms the blue in logos and pie charts, and it mixes with yellow to make the greens in maps and nature photos. When cyan runs low, sky tones fade and green fields turn dull and brown. A sealed Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle restores those colours quickly, so a Kisumu school can finish its term reports or a Kilimani agency can print property brochures on time.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that mix their own refill ink into plain bottles, Mascom International sells the Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle only as Epson packed it. Buyers throughout Kenya report streaky colour and blocked nozzles after switching to unbranded cyan, then paying a technician to fix the print head. Genuine ink matches the head your EcoTank was built around. Visit our Kimathi Street counter to see the Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle beside its Black, Magenta and Yellow partners, or send your printer model on WhatsApp for a quick fit check.
Common Questions About the Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle
What is the Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle price in Kenya?
The Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle sells for KSh 2,300 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. The price includes one genuine 70ml bottle in its Epson box, a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery nationwide. Magenta and Yellow in the 101 range cost the same KSh 2,300, while the Black bottle costs KSh 3,250, a gap of KSh 950. Buying all four 101 colours together comes to KSh 10,150.
Is the Epson 101 Cyan the same as the Epson 103 Cyan bottle?
No, the Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle and the Epson 103 cyan bottle belong to different printer families and are not swapped between machines. At Mascom International the 101 Cyan costs KSh 2,300 and the 103 colour bottles cost KSh 2,225, only KSh 75 apart. With so small a gap, price should never decide the choice. Choose the 101 for an L4150, L4160, L6160, L6170 or L6190, and choose the 103 only when your printer label names 103.
Does the Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle work on an Epson L6190?
Yes, the Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle is listed for the L6190 as well as the L6160 and L6170. It also fits the L4150, L4156, L4160, L4260, L6176, L6270, L6290 and the A3-size L14150. Each printer carries its model number on the front panel or top cover, so check it before ordering. If the label is worn, send Mascom International a photo of the printer on WhatsApp and our team will identify the right bottle.
How should I store a spare cyan bottle in Kenya's heat and dust?
Store the Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle upright, capped tight and out of direct sun, inside a closed drawer or cupboard. Offices in Mombasa and Garissa face high afternoon heat, and Nairobi rooftop offices warm up fast under iron sheets. Heat can thicken ink, and dust settling on an open nozzle can end up inside the tank. Keeping the bottle in its Epson box until refill day protects both the seal and the product code you need for reordering.
Who should buy the Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle, and who should look elsewhere?
The Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle suits anyone with a 101-series EcoTank whose cyan level has dropped near the lower line. Schools printing coloured notices, agencies printing brochures and families printing photos all draw on cyan regularly. Look elsewhere if your EcoTank uses 103 or 112 bottles, or if you only print black text and your colour tanks are still full. Those buyers save money by asking Mascom International for the bottle that matches their real need.
Why is my cyan tank emptying faster than the other colours?
Your cyan tank empties faster when you print many blue logos, charts, maps or outdoor photos, because cyan builds both blues and greens. A school printing geography handouts or an NGO printing field maps will see the Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle used up sooner than magenta or yellow. Print head cleaning cycles also draw ink from every tank. Replacing only the colour that runs low, rather than all four at once, keeps your running costs down.
Can I mix another brand of cyan ink into an Epson 101 tank?
Mixing unbranded cyan into a tank filled with the Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle is a risk your print head pays for. Different inks can react, change colour or leave deposits that block the tiny nozzles. Once nozzles block, repeated cleaning cycles waste ink from all four tanks. Mascom International recommends staying with genuine Epson cyan from refill to refill, so the colour stays even and the printer stays healthy.
What happens if I pour cyan into the wrong tank?
Pouring the Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle into a magenta or yellow tank mixes the colours, and prints from that tank come out wrong. Each tank on your EcoTank has a colour-matched label and inlet, so read the label before you open any cap. Refill one colour at a time, and keep the other caps closed. If a mix-up happens, stop printing and call Mascom International on WhatsApp for advice before running more pages.
Technical Specifications
Ink and Colour
- Genuine Epson 101 cyan ink, product code C13T03V24A — match this code to your old box when reordering.
- Cyan is the blue primary in Epson's four-colour 101 set — it prints logos, headings and chart bars in blue.
- Blends with yellow to make greens — maps, field reports and garden photos depend on a healthy cyan level.
- Blends with magenta to make purples and deep blues — a low cyan tank shifts these tones towards red.
- Factory-made by Epson for EcoTank print heads — the ink flows the way the nozzles were designed to handle.
Printer Compatibility
- Epson EcoTank L4150 and L4160 — popular all-in-one printers for home offices, cyber cafes and small schools.
- Epson EcoTank L6160, L6170 and L6190 — business models with faster duplex printing for busier offices.
- L4156, L4260, L6176, L6270 and L6290 — additional models listed for the same 101 cyan bottle.
- Epson EcoTank L14150 — an A3 model whose wide posters and plans use plenty of cyan for blue tones.
- Will not suit EcoTanks built for 103 or 112 bottles — the label on your ink tank names the correct family.
Yield and Running Cost
- 70ml of cyan ink in one bottle — enough to refill the cyan tank on supported EcoTank models.
- Epson prints the expected page yield on the box — colour coverage on each page changes real output.
- KSh 2,300 per bottle at Mascom International — the same price as the 101 Magenta and 101 Yellow bottles.
- KSh 1,250 below the Epson 112 colour bottles at KSh 3,550 — a separate family for other EcoTank printers.
- Replace only the cyan tank when it runs low — no need to buy the KSh 10,150 full set every time.
Bottle and Filling
- Screw cap over a factory seal — break the seal only on refill day, so the ink stays fresh until then.
- Keyed nozzle sits into the cyan inlet — the bottle rests upright while ink drains into the tank on its own.
- Stop at the upper line printed on the tank window — this leaves room inside and prevents overflow.
- Clean, tool-free refilling — no syringe, funnel or gloves needed for a normal top-up.
- Any ink left over stays in the bottle — recap firmly and store it upright for the next refill.
Storage and Handling
- Keep the bottle in its Epson box until use — the box shields it from light and keeps the code handy.
- Choose a cool, dry, shaded shelf — heat from windows or iron-sheet roofs can thicken stored ink.
- Avoid shaking an opened bottle — air bubbles and drips make refilling messier than it needs to be.
- Store well away from children and food — ink stains fabric and skin and is not safe to swallow.
- Rinse spills promptly with soap and water — dried cyan on desks or clothing is much harder to remove.
Package Contents
Each Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle arrives as a single sealed bottle inside its Epson retail box, which carries the code C13T03V24A. The factory seal sits beneath the screw cap, so you know nobody has opened or diluted the ink. The pack holds no printer, cables or extra colours, and no filling tool is needed. The matching 101 Black, Magenta and Yellow bottles are stocked separately at Mascom International, with a full set of four costing KSh 10,150.
Warranty
The Epson 101 EcoTank Cyan Ink Bottle carries a 6-month warranty through Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects such as a leaking bottle, a cracked nozzle or a broken seal. Claims are handled at our service desk in the Old Mutual Building, Nairobi CBD.
