Mascom International has the Epson 112 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle in stock at KSh 3,550, sold brand new and sealed as a 70ml bottle of genuine Epson pigment ink. The Epson 112 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle refills the magenta tank on Epson's business colour EcoTanks, among them the L6490, L6550, L6570, L15150 and L15160. A single bottle is rated for up to 6,000 pages, so magenta works out to roughly KSh 0.59 per page. This batch has a January 2028 use-by date. Find us at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Magenta is the ink that gives your pages warmth. It prints pinks and purples by itself and mixes with yellow to form reds and oranges. Event planners in Karen, churches producing weekly bulletins, schools printing prize-day programmes and sales teams presenting red-branded proposals depend on it. Many Kenyan brands, from supermarkets to banks, use red in their identities. When magenta runs low, reds turn orange-brown and purples go flat blue. The Epson 112 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle brings those tones back, and its pigment formula keeps colours sharp on ordinary plain office paper.
Unlike roadside ink vendors who decant magenta into unmarked bottles, Mascom International sells the Epson 112 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle only in its original sealed carton with the date visible. Design studios and church offices around Nairobi report that genuine magenta keeps their reds matching from the first flyer to the last. Every Epson 112 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle is checked against your printer model before sale. Shop in person on Kimathi Street, or order online and pay on arrival, with delivery covering all 47 counties from Mombasa to Kakamega and beyond.
Common Questions About the Epson 112 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle
What colours does the Epson 112 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle print?
The Epson 112 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle prints every pink and purple on your page directly. It also combines with yellow to make reds and oranges, and with cyan to make violets and deep blues. That means red logos, warning labels, bar charts and warm photo tones all depend on it. When magenta is empty, the printer cannot produce a true red at all. Mascom International sells magenta separately at KSh 3,550, so you refill it without replacing the other colours.
What does magenta cost per page with the Epson 112 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle?
Magenta costs about KSh 0.59 per page with the Epson 112 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle, based on Mascom International's price of KSh 3,550 and Epson's 6,000-page rating. Epson extrapolates that yield from standard ISO test pattern simulations. A 30-page colour event programme therefore uses roughly KSh 18 of magenta. Pages with large red banners or full-colour photos use more than the average, while text documents with a small red logo use far less.
Should I buy the magenta bottle alone or the full four-colour 112 set?
Buy the Epson 112 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle alone when only magenta has reached its lower line. Buy the full set when all four tanks are low, or when you want spares ready for a busy season. At Mascom International, a full 112 set costs KSh 14,650: KSh 4,000 for black and KSh 3,550 each for cyan, magenta and yellow. Buying singly avoids paying for colours your office barely uses. Our team checks your tank levels by photo on WhatsApp.
Do magenta prints fade on posters displayed in bright Kenyan sunshine?
Pigment ink, like that in the Epson 112 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle, generally resists fading better than dye ink, because its colour particles sit on the paper surface. Indoor notices and posters in shaded corridors hold their reds well for months. Posters in direct Nairobi or Mombasa sun behind shop glass will still fade over time, as all printed paper does. For long outdoor displays, lamination adds protection. Mascom International can advise on paper choices when you buy.
Why do my prints look green or yellow after magenta ran low?
Prints drift green or yellow when magenta runs low, because the printer has only cyan and yellow left to build warm colours. Skin tones look sickly, reds look brown and purples turn blue. Refill with the Epson 112 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle, then print a nozzle check to confirm the magenta pattern is complete. If gaps show, run a single head cleaning and test again. Mascom International keeps magenta in stock, so a low tank never stalls a print job for long.
Can I accidentally pour magenta into the wrong tank?
No. The Epson 112 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle has a keyed nozzle that fits only the magenta tank inlet on 112-series printers. It will not seat in the cyan, yellow or black tanks, which stops colour contamination that would otherwise need expensive cleaning. This design matters in busy offices where several staff refill the printer. Unbranded bottles with generic nozzles lack this protection, which is one reason Mascom International sells genuine Epson bottles only.
Who should buy the Epson 112 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle, and who should skip it?
Buy the Epson 112 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle if you run a 112-series EcoTank like the L6550, L6570 or L15150 and print red, pink or purple content. Skip it if your printer is a six-colour L8050 or L18050, which needs 108 dye magenta for photos. Skip it too with a mono M-series printer, which has no colour tanks. Mascom International stocks inks for all three printer types, so share your model on WhatsApp before ordering.
Will the Epson 112 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle print well on glossy brochure paper?
The Epson 112 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle is formulated for plain and matte office papers, where pigment dries fast and holds sharp edges. On high-gloss photo paper, pigment can take longer to dry and may smudge if handled early. For brochures, matte-coated paper gives rich reds with a clean finish. Studios producing glossy photo prints get better results from a dye-ink photo printer. Mascom International can suggest suitable paper when you collect your ink.
Is it safe to order ink with pay-on-arrival delivery outside Nairobi?
Yes. Mascom International ships the Epson 112 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle sealed in its Epson carton, and you pay only after it reaches you and you check the box. Customers in Nakuru, Kisumu and Eldoret typically receive orders the next business day. Inspect the carton seal and the January 2028 date on arrival before paying. If anything looks wrong, refuse the parcel and call +254 708 852 521 on WhatsApp for help.
Technical Specifications
Magenta Ink Profile
- Product code C13T06C34A identifies the genuine Epson 112 magenta bottle on its carton and label.
- Each bottle contains 70ml of magenta pigment ink, matching the volume of the cyan and yellow 112 bottles.
- Rated yield reaches up to 6,000 pages, extrapolated by Epson from standard ISO test pattern simulations.
- Pigment particles rest on the paper surface, keeping red text and chart edges crisp on plain sheets.
- Our current magenta batch is dated January 2028, with the use-by date printed on each carton.
- Colour output follows Epson's driver profiles, so on-screen reds match the printed page closely.
Printers That Use It
- L6460, L6490, L6550, L6570 and L6580, A4 business printers with scan and copy functions.
- L11160, an A3 print-only model suited to posters, seating plans and large event schedules.
- L15150, L15160 and L15180, A3 multifunction EcoTanks used in design firms and school offices.
- Not compatible with L8050 or L18050 photo printers, which require the 108 dye ink range.
- Not compatible with M-series mono printers, which carry only a black ink tank.
- Check your printer's tank label reads 112 before ordering, or send us a photo for confirmation.
Colour Mixing Role
- Prints pinks, magentas and purples directly, the key colours for bridal, church and children's event material.
- Mixes with yellow to create reds and oranges used in warning signs, sale tags and brand logos.
- Combines with cyan to form violets and navy tones in charts, uniforms and school crests.
- Warms skin tones in staff photos, so ID cards and profiles avoid a pale green cast.
- Low magenta turns reds brown and purples blue, a clear sign that the tank needs refilling.
- Balanced magenta keeps branded reds consistent across long print runs of flyers or menus.
Refilling Design
- Keyed nozzle matches the magenta tank inlet only, blocking accidental pours into other colour tanks.
- Ink flows by gravity when the bottle stands upright, with no squeezing required at any point.
- Flow slows as the tank approaches its upper line, lowering the risk of overflow onto the printer.
- Screw cap reseals tightly after a partial fill, keeping remaining ink ready for the next top-up.
- A complete refill takes a few minutes, with no cartridges, chips or alignment steps involved.
- Magenta pigment stains fabric and light surfaces, so keep a tissue nearby while refilling.
Magenta Budget
- Magenta costs about KSh 0.59 per page at the Mascom International price of KSh 3,550.
- A 30-page colour event programme uses roughly KSh 18 of magenta at the rated yield.
- A 100-copy run of single-page colour flyers uses about KSh 59 of magenta on average.
- All four 112 bottles together cost KSh 14,650 when bought as a full set from Mascom International.
- Red-heavy designs, sunset photos and pink wedding material use more magenta than the rated average.
- Head cleanings draw ink from every tank, so clean only when a nozzle check shows missing lines.
Storage and Upkeep
- Keep sealed magenta bottles upright in their cartons, away from sunny windows and warm equipment.
- Use magenta well before its January 2028 date, which leaves more than two years of shelf life.
- Print one colour page each week so pigment keeps flowing through the magenta nozzles.
- Turn the printer off at its own button after KPLC outages, so the print head caps properly.
- Refill before the tank drops under the lower line, keeping air out of the magenta ink path.
- Dust covers help printers in busy reception areas and workshops stay clean between jobs.
