Mascom International stocks the Epson 108 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle at KSh 3,000, a brand new and sealed 70ml bottle available now at our Nairobi CBD store. The Epson 108 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle supplies genuine Epson dye ink for the six-colour Epson L8050 and L18050 photo printers. Epson rates it at up to 7,200 pages or 2,100 photos at 10x15cm, so magenta costs about KSh 0.42 per page. Our current stock is dated March 2028. Visit Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Magenta is the colour behind red roses, wedding décor, company logos, lipstick and the purple of school ties. Print shops that turn out ID cards, event invitations, church programmes and restaurant menus lean on it for every bold red and pink. When magenta runs low, those colours slide toward orange or brown, and a client's brand colour no longer matches their signage. The Epson 108 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle keeps reds rich and consistent, so an order of staff ID cards for a Westlands firm or a stack of Nakuru wedding invitations looks identical from first to last.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops keep magenta refills loose under the counter, Mascom International sells every Epson 108 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle in its dated, factory-sealed box. Print shop owners across Kenya tell us genuine magenta stops the colour drift they saw with cheaper refill ink. We confirm your printer model before you pay, and all six 108 colours sit on one shelf, so a single visit restocks your L8050. Collect the Epson 108 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle at Kimathi Street, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Epson 108 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle
How many photos and pages does the Epson 108 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle print?
The Epson 108 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle prints up to 2,100 photos at 10x15cm or 7,200 pages from one 70ml refill, based on Epson's test patterns. Priced at KSh 3,000 here, magenta comes to roughly KSh 1.43 for each photo and KSh 0.42 for each page. A run of 100 colour menus or programmes therefore uses around KSh 42 of magenta. Red-heavy designs, floral wedding work and bold logos use more ink, so busy event seasons shorten each bottle's life.
What do my prints look like when magenta is running low?
Low magenta shows up as a green or yellow tint across the whole print. Reds turn orange or brown, pinks fade toward beige, and skin tones look sickly rather than warm. Purples lose their depth and drift toward blue. Refilling with the Epson 108 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle and printing a nozzle check usually brings colour back. If the tint remains after a refill, one head cleaning often clears a partly blocked magenta nozzle.
Can the Epson 108 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle print bright colours on PVC ID cards?
Yes, the L8050 prints on inkjet-printable PVC cards, and the Epson 108 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle supplies the reds and pinks in logos, photos and colour bands. Use cards made for inkjet printing, since plain PVC will not hold dye ink. Let each card dry fully before stacking or laminating, because fresh dye smudges. Schools, SACCOs, churches and companies across Nairobi order staff and member cards this way, and consistent magenta keeps every card matching the brand colour.
How does the Epson 108 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle compare with the Epson 103 Magenta?
They serve different printers and cannot be swapped. The Epson 108 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle holds 70ml for the six-colour L8050 and L18050, and Epson rates it at 7,200 pages. The Epson 103 Magenta holds 65ml for four-colour EcoTank models such as the L3250, rated at 7,500 pages, and Mascom International sells it at KSh 2,225. The 108 costs more because it belongs to a photo system. Choose by printer model, never by price.
How should I store a half-used Magenta bottle?
Screw the cap on tightly, stand the Epson 108 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle upright and keep it in a closed drawer away from sunlight. A loose cap lets ink thicken or leak onto paper stock, and magenta stains are hard to remove from fabric and wood. Avoid shelves near windows, generators or hot machinery. Finish the open bottle before starting a new one, and always check the use-by date printed on the box.
Should I refill magenta on its own or all six colours at once?
Refill only the colours that are low. Each ink sits in its own tank, so topping up the Epson 108 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle alone is safe and keeps cash free for paper. Pour one colour at a time, closing each tank before opening the next, to avoid mix-ups. Studios that prefer one big restock can take the full six-colour 108 set from Mascom International for KSh 17,650 in a single order.
What should I do after a long power cut leaves the printer idle for days?
Print a nozzle check first, before any client work. Idle days can let ink dry at the nozzle tips, especially in warm rooms, and magenta gaps show up clearly as broken lines on the pattern. If gaps appear, run one head cleaning, then check again. Avoid running several cleanings back to back, because each one draws ink from every tank. During long KPLC outages, switching the printer on briefly when power returns helps keep nozzles fresh.
Can I use the Epson 108 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle for mug or T-shirt sublimation?
No, the Epson 108 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle is a standard dye ink made for photo paper, PVC cards and ordinary paper. Sublimation needs dedicated sublimation ink that turns into gas under a heat press and bonds with polyester or coated mugs. Pressing a print made with regular dye ink gives faded, blotchy results. Branding shops in Nairobi usually keep a separate printer filled with sublimation ink for mugs and jerseys, and use the L8050 for photos and cards.
Who should buy the Epson 108 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle, and who should skip it?
Buy the Epson 108 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle if you run an Epson L8050 or L18050 for photos, ID cards, invitations, menus or branded print work. Skip it if your printer is a four-colour EcoTank like the L3250 or L5290, which takes the Epson 103 Magenta that Mascom International stocks at KSh 2,225. L805 and L1800 owners need 673 bottles.

Technical Specifications
Magenta Ink Profile
- Product code C13T09C34A identifies the genuine Epson 108 magenta bottle on box and label.
- Each bottle holds 70ml of magenta dye ink, the standard volume across the 108 range.
- Up to 7,200 pages per bottle, based on Epson's own page-yield testing for colour documents.
- Photo yield reaches up to 2,100 prints at 10x15cm, according to Epson.
- Dye formula soaks into photo paper coatings, producing smooth, saturated reds and pinks.
- Current Mascom International stock is dated March 2028, printed on every sealed box.
Printers It Fits
- Epson L8050, the A4 Wi-Fi six-colour printer used for photos and PVC ID cards across Kenya.
- Epson L18050, the A3+ model that prints posters, banners and large portraits with the same inks.
- Both machines share the six 108 bottles, so one ink stock serves either printer.
- Not compatible with the L805 or L1800, which were designed for Epson 673 bottles.
- Not compatible with four-colour EcoTank models using 103, 101, 003 or 664 bottles.
- Tank labels and the printer manual confirm the correct bottle number before ordering.
Bottle and Filling
- Shaped nozzle is designed for the magenta inlet, helping keep it apart from the light magenta tank.
- Ink flows by itself when the bottle stands upright, so no squeezing is needed.
- Flow slows as the tank reaches the upper line, which helps prevent overfilling.
- Screw cap reseals tightly after a partial fill, keeping leftover ink ready for later.
- Clear colour naming on box and bottle helps staff tell magenta from light magenta quickly.
- A tissue under the bottle catches stray drops, since magenta dye stains fabric and wood.
Colour and Media Results
- Strong magenta builds rich reds in roses, logos, lipstick and wedding décor.
- Mixes with yellow for oranges and warm reds, and with cyan for purples and violets.
- Balanced magenta keeps skin warm, since a weak tank leaves faces looking green or pale.
- Prints on inkjet PVC cards for staff, student and membership IDs with bright colour bands.
- Genuine ink follows Epson's driver colour profiles, so brand colours match the design file.
- Even flow from genuine ink helps prevent banding across large red and pink areas.
Running Cost
- Magenta costs about KSh 0.42 per page at the Mascom International price of KSh 3,000.
- Magenta costs about KSh 1.43 per 10x15cm photo, based on Epson's 2,100-photo rating.
- A run of 100 colour menus or programmes uses roughly KSh 42 of magenta.
- A full six-colour 108 set costs KSh 17,650 when bought together here.
- Fewer head cleanings stretch each bottle further, since every cleaning uses ink from all tanks.
- Red-heavy floral, wedding and branding work drains magenta faster, so budget refills around event seasons.
- Buying single colours as they run low spreads ink spending across the month instead of one large outlay.
Maintenance Routine
- Print a nozzle check before large orders and after any long idle stretch.
- Run one head cleaning at a time, then recheck, rather than several in a row.
- Refill before the tank falls below its lower line to keep air out of the ink path.
- Let PVC cards and glossy prints dry fully before stacking, laminating or packing.
- Store spare bottles upright and sealed in a closed drawer, away from heat and sunlight.
- Keep ink away from children and pets, and wash skin promptly after any spill.
