Epson 103 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle is now available at Mascom International for KSh 2,225, sold brand new and sealed from our Nairobi CBD store at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street. The Epson 103 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle contains 65ml of genuine Epson dye ink under product code C13T00S34A. Its rated colour yield reaches up to 7,500 pages on Epson's standard test pattern, putting the cost near KSh 0.30 per page. A key-lock nozzle fits the magenta tank alone, so refills stay clean and correct, even for someone topping up an EcoTank for the first time.
Made for photographers, event planners, church offices and marketing teams, the Epson 103 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle carries the reds, pinks and warm tones in every colour print. Magenta mixes with yellow to form reds and oranges, and it gives faces their natural warmth in photographs. When the magenta tank runs low, portraits turn greenish and red logos fade to a dull brown. The Epson 103 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle restores that balance in minutes. Print shops producing wedding programmes, funeral booklets and product flyers feel the gap fastest, often on the busiest weekend of the month.
At Mascom International, we're seeing more small print businesses switch from cartridge machines to EcoTank printers to protect their margins. Users report that the Epson 103 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle holds true colour from job to job, so repeat orders for a client's brand match the first batch. Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, we confirm your printer's bottle number before selling and never stock refilled or decanted ink. Collect the Epson 103 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle at the counter, or order on WhatsApp for delivery with payment on arrival.
Common Questions About the Epson 103 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle
How far does one Epson 103 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle go?
One Epson 103 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle goes up to 7,500 pages, measured on Epson's standard colour test pattern. Priced at KSh 2,225 by Mascom International, that averages about KSh 0.30 per page. Photo-heavy work drains it faster, since skin tones, sunsets and red fabrics all rely on magenta. Offices printing mainly text with the occasional red stamp or logo may go many months between refills. Watching the tank window weekly tells you when to reorder before a job stalls.
Why do faces in my printed photos look green or pale?
Green or washed-out faces nearly always mean magenta is missing from the print. Either the magenta tank sits below its lower line, or some magenta nozzles are blocked. Check the tank window first, then run a nozzle check from the printer's maintenance menu. Refill with the Epson 103 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle if the level is low. If the tank is full but gaps show in the magenta test lines, run a single head cleaning and print the nozzle check again.
Can the Epson 103 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle replace HP GT52 magenta ink?
No. The Epson 103 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle works only in Epson printers built for the 103 series, while GT52 bottles belong to HP Ink Tank printers. Each system uses its own ink formula and its own nozzle shape, so the bottles are not interchangeable. Both deliver far cheaper colour printing than cartridges, which makes your current printer the deciding factor. If you are choosing a new printer, Mascom International can compare the running cost of each system for your monthly volume.
Will the bottle leak during delivery to my county?
Ink travels safely when the carton stays sealed, and Mascom International ships every Epson 103 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle in its original Epson box. Our riders and courier partners carry bottles upright inside padded packaging. Because we deliver with payment on arrival, you inspect the carton before handing over any money. If a bottle arrives leaking or damaged, refuse it at the door and we send a replacement. Buyers in Kakamega, Kisii, Meru and Machakos order this way every week.
How do I keep dust out of the ink tanks in a busy print shop?
Dust settles fast in shops near Tom Mboya Street, River Road or any busy roadside, and it can reach the tank inlets during refills. Close each tank cap firmly after topping up and keep the tank cover shut. Cover the printer with a cloth or plastic sheet overnight. Wipe the area around the tank opening before placing the Epson 103 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle on it. Store spare bottles in a closed drawer, not on an open shelf facing the street.
Who should buy the Epson 103 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle, and who should skip it?
Buy it if you run a 103-series EcoTank and print photos, posters, flyers, programmes or branded material where reds and warm tones matter. Skip it if your printer handles black text only, or if you have an L805 or L8050 photo printer, which use their own six-colour bottle ranges. Printers taking 101 bottles, such as the L4160, also need a different magenta. For pure document work, a black bottle alone covers most of your needs, and Mascom International stocks it at the same price.
What happens if magenta goes into the wrong tank?
With this bottle, it practically cannot happen. The Epson 103 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle has a key-lock nozzle that fits only the magenta tank inlet, so it will not seat on the black, cyan or yellow tanks. Mix-ups usually come from older syringe refills or unbranded bottles with universal tips. If a tank has already been contaminated, stop printing and bring the printer to Mascom International. Continuing to print pulls the mixed ink into the head and can ruin it.
Does the Epson 103 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle work well on glossy photo paper?
Yes. The dye ink in the Epson 103 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle absorbs evenly into glossy and matte photo paper, producing smooth reds and natural skin tones. Select the correct paper type in the print settings so the printer lays down the right amount of ink. Genuine Epson photo paper gives the most accurate colour, though good third-party glossy paper also works. Let photos dry for a few minutes before stacking them, and frame displayed prints behind glass to slow fading.

- Printers using 101, 003 or 664 bottles need a different magenta, so read your tank label before buying.
Refill Mechanism
- Key-lock tip fits the magenta inlet only, eliminating the risk of contaminating another colour's tank.
- Gravity feeds the ink once the bottle sits upright on the inlet, with no squeezing required.
- An automatic stop ends the flow at the full line, so the tank never overflows onto the printer.
- Replaceable screw cap closes off unused ink cleanly between refills for later top-ups.
- Pink-toned cap and label help staff grab the correct bottle quickly in a busy print room.
- Hands stay clean through normal refilling, which keeps ink off paper stock and client documents.
- Refilling needs no tools or training, so any staff member can top up the magenta tank between print jobs.
Colour Reproduction
- Magenta blends with yellow to form reds and oranges for logos, danger signs and promotional graphics.
- Magenta combines with cyan to create purples and deep blues on certificates and church bulletins.
- Balanced magenta output gives faces natural warmth in portraits, graduation photos and ID pictures.
- Genuine ink keeps colour consistent across reprints, so a client's brand red matches from one order to the next.
- Fine gradients in sunsets and fabrics print smoothly because droplet size matches the Micro Piezo head design.
- Fast-drying dye reduces smearing on coated flyers when pages come off the printer in quick succession.
- Accurate magenta keeps red text on invoices, stamps and warning notices clearly legible instead of a faded brown.
Running Cost Maths
- A 100-copy run of single-page colour flyers stays inexpensive in magenta ink at roughly KSh 0.30 per page.
- Buying magenta alone replaces only the colour your work uses most, instead of a full four-bottle set.
- A full set of four bottles costs KSh 8,900 at current Mascom International pricing, if you prefer restocking together.
- Refilling before the tank drops below its lower line protects the print head from drawing in air.
- Store spare bottles capped and upright in a cool drawer, away from sunlight and the heat of the printer.
- Use bottles before the printed date on the carton and rotate older stock to the front of the shelf.
