The Epson 108 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle refills the yellow tank on the six-colour Epson L8050 and L18050 photo printers. Epson rates one bottle at up to 7,200 pages or 2,100 photos at 10x15cm, about KSh 1.43 per photo. The stock on our shelf is dated March 2028. Shop in person at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, Monday to Saturday.
Yellow is the quiet ink that makes every other colour work. On its own it looks faint, yet it forms the base of greens, oranges, golds and warm skin tones. Photographers covering Maasai Mara safaris, graduation gowns with gold trim and bright kitenge outfits at weddings need it in almost every frame. When the yellow tank runs low, grass turns blue-grey, sunsets lose their glow and faces look cold. The Epson 108 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle keeps that warmth in place, so safari prints, church event photos and family portraits look the way the day actually felt to the people in them.
No other colour in the 108 set is as easy to overlook, which is why Mascom International keeps the Epson 108 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle stocked beside the rest in sealed, dated boxes. Studio owners across Kenya tell us genuine yellow keeps greens natural and skin warm across long print runs. We check your printer model on WhatsApp before you pay, so you receive the correct Epson 108 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle. Collect it at our Kimathi Street counter, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Epson 108 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle
How long does the Epson 108 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle last?
The Epson 108 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle lasts up to 2,100 photos at 10x15cm or 7,200 pages, according to Epson's test patterns. At KSh 3,000 from Mascom International, that works out to about KSh 1.43 per photo and KSh 0.42 per page. A 50-photo graduation order therefore uses around KSh 72 of yellow. Landscapes, safari scenes, sunsets and warm indoor lighting use more yellow than cool, blue-toned outdoor shots.
Why does yellow matter when I can barely see it on the page?
Yellow matters because it mixes into most colours you do see. It combines with cyan to make every green, with magenta to make oranges and reds, and it warms skin tones in portraits. On its own it looks pale, which is why owners often forget to check the tank. When it runs low, prints turn blue or purple overall. Keeping the Epson 108 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle topped up protects the colour balance of every photo.
Can I save money by pouring the cheaper Epson 103 Yellow into my L8050?
No, the 103 series is made for four-colour EcoTank printers such as the L3250, and it is not designed for the L8050 tank system. The Epson 108 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle is built for the six-colour L8050 and L18050, and their printer drivers expect its formula. Using the wrong bottle risks colour errors and nozzle trouble that cost far more than the KSh 775 difference. Mascom International sells both, so ask us which one your printer takes.
How much does a full six-colour refill of an L8050 cost at Mascom International?
A full six-colour 108 set costs KSh 17,650 at Mascom International: KSh 2,650 for black and KSh 3,000 each for cyan, magenta, the Epson 108 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle, light cyan and light magenta. Based on Epson's ratings, that set produces roughly 2,100 postcard photos, so the ink costs about KSh 7.60 per 10x15cm print. Most studios refill colours one at a time as they run low, which spreads the cost across the month.
Does the Epson 108 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle work in the A3+ L18050 as well?
Yes, the Epson 108 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle fits both the A4 L8050 and the A3+ L18050. The two printers share the same six 108 bottles, so a studio running both machines can keep one stock of ink. Larger A3+ prints use far more ink per sheet than postcard photos, so the L18050 empties each bottle faster. Keep a sealed spare if you print posters, certificates or framed wall portraits regularly.
Will yellow tones hold up in kitenge and shuka prints?
Yes, provided the tank stays filled and you use genuine ink. Kitenge fabrics and Maasai shukas carry intense yellows, oranges and reds, which the printer builds from yellow and magenta together. The Epson 108 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle delivers the saturated base those patterns need. Print on genuine glossy photo paper with the matching paper setting, since plain paper mode dulls strong colours. For display, keep prints away from direct sun, which fades dye ink over time.
How do I tell if the yellow nozzle is blocked?
Print a nozzle check from the printer menu or Epson software, then hold the page under good light. The yellow section is faint, so gaps are easy to miss on a quick glance. Broken lines mean a partly blocked nozzle. Run one head cleaning, then print another check. If gaps remain after two rounds, rest the printer for a few hours before trying again. Refilling with the Epson 108 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle alone will not clear a blockage.
What paper gives the best results with the Epson 108 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle?
Glossy or lustre inkjet photo paper gives the brightest results with the Epson 108 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle, because its coating holds dye ink near the surface. Choose the matching paper type in the print settings so the printer lays down the right amount of ink. Plain office paper absorbs dye deeper, which dulls yellows and greens. Store photo paper flat in its packet, since humid rooms in Mombasa or Kisumu can curl sheets and cause feed problems.
Who should buy the Epson 108 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle, and who should skip it?
Buy the Epson 108 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle if you own an Epson L8050 or L18050 and print safari photos, portraits, events, ID cards or colourful marketing work. Skip it if your printer is a four-colour EcoTank such as the L3210 or L5290, which uses the Epson 103 Yellow that Mascom International sells at KSh 2,225. The older L805 and L1800 run on 673 bottles, not this one. Send a photo of your printer label on WhatsApp and we confirm the fit.
Technical Specifications
Yellow Ink Details
- Product code C13T09C44A identifies the genuine Epson 108 yellow bottle on box and label.
- Each bottle holds 70ml of yellow dye ink, the standard volume across the six 108 colours.
- Page yield is up to 7,200 pages, extrapolated by Epson from standard ISO test pattern simulations.
- Epson quotes up to 2,100 postcard-size photos at 10x15cm from a single yellow bottle.
- Dye formula absorbs into photo paper coatings for smooth, bright yellows and warm blends.
- Yellow bottles in our current batch expire in March 2028, and the date appears on each carton.
Matching Printers
- Epson L8050, the A4 Wi-Fi six-colour photo printer found in studios and ID card shops.
- Epson L18050, the A3+ model that prints posters, certificates and large framed portraits.
- Both printers use the same six 108 bottles, so one ink stock covers either machine.
- Four-colour EcoTank models built for 103, 101, 003 or 664 bottles cannot use this ink.
- Not compatible with the L805 or L1800, which use Epson's older 673 series.
- Your tank label or printer manual confirms the bottle number before you order.
Pouring and Storage
- Shaped nozzle is designed for the yellow tank inlet, helping keep yellow out of neighbouring tanks.
- Ink flows by itself once the bottle stands upright, so there is no squeezing.
- Flow slows as the tank reaches its upper line, which helps prevent overfilling and spills.
- Screw cap reseals after a partial fill, keeping leftover ink fresh for the next top-up.
- Store spares boxed, capped and upright in a closed drawer, away from heat and sunlight.
- Wipe drips quickly, since yellow dye leaves stains that show on light desks and clothing.
Colour Contribution
- Mixes with cyan to build greens in grass, trees, safari scenes and garden weddings.
- Mixes with magenta to form oranges, reds and golds in sunsets, fabrics and décor.
- Warms skin tones, so portraits avoid the cold blue look of a low yellow tank.
- Supplies the saturated base for kitenge, shuka and bright branding colours.
- Genuine ink follows Epson's driver colour profiles, so screen colours match the finished print.
- Even ink flow helps prevent faint yellow banding that can tint large prints unevenly.
Refill Budget
- Yellow costs about KSh 0.42 per page at the Mascom International price of KSh 3,000.
- Yellow costs about KSh 1.43 per 10x15cm photo, based on Epson's 2,100-photo rating.
- A 50-photo graduation order uses roughly KSh 72 of yellow at the rated yield.
- A full six-colour 108 set costs KSh 17,650, about KSh 7.60 of ink per postcard photo.
- A3+ prints on the L18050 use more ink per sheet, so budget extra bottles for large formats.
- Limiting head cleanings saves yellow too, because each cycle pulls ink through all six tanks together.
Quality Checks
- Print a nozzle check under good light, since yellow gaps are faint and easy to miss.
- Run one head cleaning at a time, then recheck, instead of repeated cleanings.
- Refill before the tank drops below its lower line so air stays out of the ink path.
- Match the paper setting to the loaded paper so colours print at full strength.
- Log refill dates on the box to see how long each yellow bottle lasts your studio.
- Compare a fresh print with an older one under daylight to spot a gradual shift toward blue.
