The Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 2,300, brand new and sealed in its Epson box. It is the genuine Epson refill with product code C13T03V34A, holding 70ml of magenta ink for the EcoTank L4150, L4160, L6160, L6170 and L6190 family and related models. Magenta is the pink-red colour in the four-bottle 101 set. Pick up the Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle from our store in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or have it delivered pay-on-arrival anywhere in Kenya.
Built for content creators, church secretaries, event planners and photo studios across Kenya, the Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle keeps warm colours true. Magenta forms the reds in logos and warning signs, and it mixes with yellow to give oranges and the warm skin tones in family photos. Run it low and faces look pale and green, while red logos print as dull brown. A sealed Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle brings those tones back before wedding programmes, funeral booklets or graduation certificates at Moi or USIU go to print. Small studios in Eldoret and Nakuru keep one ready for busy weekends.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops push cheap refill ink with no brand or code, Mascom International sells the Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle exactly as Epson sealed it. At Mascom International, we're seeing printers come in with uneven colour and blocked heads after months on unbranded magenta. Genuine ink is matched to the nozzles in your EcoTank, so colour stays steady from the first page to the last. Visit our counter to see the Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle alongside the Black, Cyan and Yellow bottles, or WhatsApp your printer model and we will confirm the fit.
Common Questions About the Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle
How much does the Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle cost in Kenya?
The Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle costs KSh 2,300 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That buys one genuine 70ml bottle in its Epson box, with a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. Cyan and Yellow in the 101 range carry the same KSh 2,300 price, while Black costs KSh 3,250. A complete set of all four 101 bottles costs KSh 10,150 at our Kimathi Street store.
Should I buy the Epson 101 Magenta or the Epson 112 Magenta?
The Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle costs KSh 2,300, while Epson 112 colour bottles cost KSh 3,550 at Mascom International, a gap of KSh 1,250. The choice is not about price, because each bottle serves its own group of EcoTank printers and the two cannot be swapped. If you own an L4150, L4160, L6160, L6170 or L6190, buy the 101. If your printer manual or tank label names 112, the 112 bottle is the right one.
Is the Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle good for printing photos?
Yes, the Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle matters more for photos than almost any other colour in the set. Magenta builds skin tones, lips, sunsets and red clothing, so portrait and event prints draw on it heavily. A full magenta tank keeps faces looking natural instead of pale or greenish. For best results print on proper photo paper, and expect photo studios and content creators to refill magenta more often than an office printing text.
Can a KPLC power cut during refilling damage my EcoTank?
No, refilling with the Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle needs no power at all, so a KPLC outage mid-refill does no harm. Ink flows from the bottle into the tank by gravity alone. Finish filling, recap both the bottle and the tank, and wait for power to return. When the printer powers back on, run a nozzle check before a large job. Offices in Industrial Area that face frequent outages often refill during the blackout itself.
Who is the Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle right for, and who should pass?
The Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle is right for owners of a 101-series EcoTank who print flyers, certificates, photos or red-branded documents. Event planners, churches, schools and small print shops use magenta steadily week after week. Pass on it if your printer takes Epson 103 or 112 bottles, or if your magenta tank still sits near the upper line. Mascom International can tell you which bottle your printer needs before you spend a shilling.
What do the tank level lines on my Epson L6170 mean?
Each tank on an L6170 has an upper line and a lower line, and the Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle refills the magenta tank between them. When ink drops to the lower line, refill before printing further, because running the tank dry can let air into the system. Fill until the ink reaches the upper line and stop there. Checking the windows once a week takes seconds and prevents surprise faded prints on deadline day.
How do I pay for the Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle?
You pay for the Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle only when it reaches you, using M-Pesa or cash on delivery. In our Nairobi CBD store, Lipa na M-Pesa, cash and card are all welcome at the counter. Because payment comes after delivery, you can confirm the sealed Epson box and the code C13T03V34A first. Businesses that need a receipt for their accounts can request one from Mascom International at the time of purchase.
Why do my prints look green or washed out when magenta is low?
Prints look green or washed out because magenta is missing from the colour mix, so the remaining cyan and yellow take over. Refilling with the Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle usually fixes the shift once fresh ink reaches the head. If colours still look wrong after a refill, run a nozzle check from the printer menu. A broken line on that check points to a clogged nozzle, and one cleaning cycle normally clears it.
Technical Specifications
Ink and Colour
- Genuine Epson 101 magenta ink, product code C13T03V34A — the code printed on the box for exact reordering.
- Magenta is the pink-red primary in Epson's four-colour 101 range — it prints red logos, stamps and headings.
- Mixes with yellow to form oranges and warm skin tones — portraits and event photos lean on it heavily.
- Mixes with cyan to form purples and deep blues — low magenta pulls those shades towards a flat blue.
- Made by Epson for EcoTank print heads — ink flows through the nozzles as the printer was designed to expect.
Printer Compatibility
- EcoTank L4150 and L4160 — print, scan and copy models common in homes, churches and small businesses.
- EcoTank L6160, L6170 and L6190 — office models with faster output and automatic two-sided printing.
- L4156, L4260, L6176, L6270 and L6290 — further printers listed for this same 101 magenta bottle.
- EcoTank L14150 — an A3 printer whose posters and banners use plenty of magenta for reds.
- Not for EcoTanks that take 103 or 112 bottles — the tank label confirms the correct bottle family.
Yield and Running Cost
- 70ml of magenta ink per bottle — a single bottle refills the magenta tank on supported EcoTank printers.
- Page yield follows the figure Epson prints on the box — heavy photo printing uses magenta faster.
- KSh 2,300 at Mascom International — the same as the 101 Cyan and 101 Yellow, and KSh 950 below 101 Black.
- KSh 75 above the Epson 103 colour bottles at KSh 2,225 — those suit a different set of EcoTank printers.
- Buy magenta alone when only magenta is low — far cheaper than the KSh 10,150 full four-bottle set.
Bottle and Filling
- Factory seal under a screw cap — an unbroken seal confirms the ink is untouched and undiluted.
- Shaped nozzle fits the magenta inlet only — reduces the chance of pouring into the wrong tank.
- Stand the bottle upright and let gravity fill the tank — no squeezing, pumping or tools required.
- Lift the bottle away at the upper line on the tank window — this keeps the tank from overflowing.
- Recap any leftover ink tightly — store it upright and use it at the next refill.
Storage and Handling
- Store sealed bottles in their Epson box — the box blocks light and keeps the code handy for reorders.
- Choose a cool, shaded cupboard away from windows — strong sun and heat can thicken ink over time.
- Note the date you open a bottle — using opened ink within a few months keeps it flowing freely.
- Keep away from children, pets and food — magenta stains strongly and must never be swallowed.
- Wipe spills straight away with a damp cloth and soap — dried magenta leaves pink marks on fabric and wood.
Package Contents
The Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle ships as one sealed bottle inside its Epson retail box, marked with the code C13T03V34A. A factory seal sits under the cap, so you can see the ink has never been opened. The pack contains no printer, cables, extra colours or filling tools. If your other tanks are low too, Mascom International stocks the 101 Black, Cyan and Yellow bottles separately, and a set of all four costs KSh 10,150.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the Epson 101 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects, including a leaking bottle, a cracked nozzle or a broken seal. Claims are handled at our service desk in the Old Mutual Building, Nairobi CBD.
