Mascom International stocks the Epson T6642 Cyan Ink Bottle at KSh 1,800, available now at our Nairobi CBD store. It comes brand new and sealed, carrying Epson's colour-shifting authenticity label on the box. The Epson T6642 Cyan Ink Bottle holds 70ml of 664-series dye ink for the cyan tank on Epson L-series printers. Epson rates the 664 colour bottles for about 6,500 pages at standard coverage when used together. The Epson T6642 Cyan Ink Bottle suits the L120 era through to the L3050 and L565. Find us at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Cyan does more work than most people expect. It builds every blue sky, green field, school uniform and company logo in blue or green. Photo studios in Nairobi CBD printing passport photos for job applications lean on it heavily. Churches in Kisumu and Nakuru print Sunday programmes with coloured banners. Parents print CBC projects and charts the night before they are due. When the cyan tank runs dry, blues turn grey and greens turn yellow, and the whole page looks wrong. The Epson T6642 Cyan Ink Bottle restores true colour in a single refill.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell unmarked refill ink in plain bottles, Mascom International carries the Epson T6642 Cyan Ink Bottle only in Epson's sealed retail box. The difference shows in skin tones, logos and printed charts that keep their colour in a file for months. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us their colour prints stopped banding once they returned to genuine Epson ink. You can inspect the box at our counter before paying. Pay-on-arrival delivery also brings it to your door anywhere in the country, from Mombasa to Kakamega.
Common Questions About the Epson T6642 Cyan Ink Bottle
Will the Epson T6642 Cyan Ink Bottle fit an Epson L3110 or L3210?
No, the Epson T6642 Cyan Ink Bottle does not fit the L3110, L3150, L3210 or L3250. Those printers use keyed bottles from Epson's newer 003 and 103 families. The Epson T6642 fits older 664-series printers such as the L120, L220, L310, L360, L380 and L382. It also suits the L3050, L3060 and L3070. Mascom International stocks Epson EcoTank 103 cyan bottles for many newer models. Tell us your printer model on WhatsApp and we will match it.
How many colour pages does one Epson T6642 bottle support?
Epson rates the 664 colour bottles at about 6,500 pages at standard coverage, with cyan, magenta and yellow working together. At KSh 1,800, the Epson T6642 adds roughly 28 cents of cyan ink to each of those pages. A full colour set of three bottles costs KSh 5,400, or about 83 cents of colour ink per page. Photos and full-colour posters use far more ink than a page of coloured headings, so plan accordingly.
Do I need to replace all three colour bottles at the same time?
No, you only refill the tank that is running low. Each colour sits in its own tank, so a low cyan tank needs only one Epson T6642 bottle. Offices that print blue logos and charts often empty cyan before magenta or yellow. Check the level lines on the front of the tank unit every week. Refill any tank that drops near the lower line before the printer starts drawing air into the tubes. Letting a tank run completely dry can force extra cleaning cycles, which waste ink from every colour.
What should I do if I poured cyan ink into the wrong tank?
Stop printing immediately and do not run a cleaning cycle yet. Mixed ink inside a tank will travel through the tubes and discolour every print until it is flushed. Call or WhatsApp Mascom International on +254 708 852 521 for guidance before you touch the printer again. Next time, match the letter C printed on the Epson T6642 bottle to the C marked on the tank cap before you squeeze.
Why do my colour prints come out reddish with no blue in them?
Reddish prints with missing blues usually mean the cyan tank is empty or a cyan nozzle is blocked. Look at the cyan tank level first, then print a nozzle check page from the Epson utility menu. Broken lines in the cyan pattern point to a clog, and one head cleaning cycle usually clears it. If the tank is low, refill it with the Epson T6642 Cyan Ink Bottle before cleaning.
Can the Epson T6642 Cyan Ink Bottle produce good passport photos?
Yes, genuine Epson T6642 cyan ink produces natural backgrounds and skin tones on Epson glossy photo paper. Cyan helps create the pale blue or white backgrounds many passport-size photos use for school admissions and job applications. Choose photo paper and the highest quality setting in the printer driver for the best result. Plain photocopy paper absorbs dye ink and dulls colours, so keep it for documents rather than portraits. Let photos dry for a few minutes before stacking or cutting them.
Will cyan ink dry out if my printer sits idle during school holidays?
Ink in a sealed tank does not dry out quickly, but printhead nozzles can clog when a printer sits unused for weeks. Schools that close for the April, August and December holidays should print one colour test page every week or two. That small job keeps cyan moving through the nozzles. An idle printer that returns with faded blues usually recovers after one or two head cleaning cycles.
Can a school or church order the Epson T6642 with the other 664 colours in one go?
Yes, Mascom International packs the Epson T6642 Cyan Ink Bottle with the matching black, magenta and yellow bottles in one order. A full set of four costs KSh 7,100 at current prices. Schools in Machakos, Thika and Meru often buy two sets at the start of term so exams never wait for ink. Send the quantity on WhatsApp and we confirm stock before dispatch. Pay-on-arrival terms apply to bulk orders as well.
Who should buy the Epson T6642 Cyan Ink Bottle, and who should look elsewhere?
Buy the Epson T6642 Cyan Ink Bottle if you run a 664-series Epson and print photos, charts, logos or coloured school work. Look elsewhere if your printer is a newer L3110 or L3210 model, or an office L6550 using Epson 112 pigment ink. Mascom International stocks the right bottles for those printers too. If you print only black text, you can hold off and buy the Epson T6642 when the cyan level drops.
Technical Specifications
Colour Ink Chemistry and Photo Output
- Genuine Epson 664-series cyan dye ink, matched to the printheads in Epson L-series ink tank printers.
- Combines with magenta and yellow to form blues, greens, purples and natural skin tones.
- Dye ink produces bright, saturated colour on glossy photo paper and coated brochure stock.
- Dries fast on plain paper, so colour charts can be stapled into reports soon after printing.
- Stable colour output between bottles keeps a company logo looking the same from one print run to the next.
- Produces the pale blue backgrounds and green school uniforms common in Kenyan passport and class photos.
Yield and Cost per Colour Page
- Epson rates the 664 colour bottles at about 6,500 pages at standard coverage when used together.
- At KSh 1,800, one Epson T6642 bottle adds roughly 28 cents of cyan ink per page.
- A complete colour set of cyan, magenta and yellow costs KSh 5,400 at Mascom International.
- That set works out to roughly 83 cents of colour ink per standard page.
- Borderless photos and full-colour posters use several times more ink than a page with coloured headings.
- Printing charts in lighter shades or outline style reduces cyan use for internal reports.
- Standard quality mode suits flyers and class notes, while photo mode saves the ink for portraits.
Supported Epson Printer Models
- Epson lists the L100, L110, L120, L200, L210, L220, L300 and L310 as compatible models.
- Also works with the L355, L365, L382, L386, L455, L486, L550 and L565 all-in-ones.
- Suits the A3-format L1300 and the wireless L3050, L3060 and L3070 models.
- Does not fit L3110, L3150, L3210 or L3250 printers, which need keyed 003 or 103 bottles.
- Does not suit the L6550 or L15150 office range, which runs on Epson 112 pigment ink.
- Check the model name on the printer's front panel, then confirm with Mascom International on WhatsApp.
Pouring Nozzle and Tank Filling
- 70ml bottle with a screw cap, sealed inner foil and a narrow snap-off nozzle tip.
- Squeeze-fill design lets you watch the cyan tank window and stop at the upper line.
- Letter C and cyan colour band on the bottle help you match the correct tank cap.
- A single bottle often covers more than one refill, depending on how low the tank was.
- No chips, clips or counters to reset after filling, so the printer is ready immediately.
- Wipe the nozzle tip with tissue before recapping so dried ink does not block the next pour.
Spotting a Genuine Bottle
- Epson's colour-shifting authenticity label on the box changes shade when you tilt it under light.
- Product code T6642 and the 664 series number are printed on both box and bottle.
- Intact foil under the cap confirms the bottle has not been opened or refilled.
- Box artwork, fonts and the blue Genuine Epson strip match Epson's official consumables packaging.
- Mascom International buys through authorised Epson channels and never repackages bulk ink.
- Boxes with torn seals or smudged labels are pulled from our shelves before they reach any buyer.
Keeping Cyan Ink in Good Condition
- Store bottles upright in a cool, dry cupboard away from windows and direct sun.
- Keep the cap tight in humid coastal towns so moisture and dust stay out.
- Print a colour test page every week or two when the printer is not in regular use.
- Use the ink before the expiry date printed on the box for smooth flow.
- Wash spills from skin with soap and water, and keep bottles away from children.
- Avoid storing spare bottles in a hot matatu or car boot during long upcountry trips.
