Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 2,500, brand new and sealed in its original Epson box. It holds 70ml of Epson dye ink for the six-colour L8050 and L18050 photo printers. The Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle supplies the full-strength magenta that builds reds, purples and warm skin shadows. Paired with yellow, it gives the rich reds in flags, roses and branded colours. Buy the Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle at our Old Mutual Building shop on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or have it delivered.
Designed for wedding photographers, print shops, church media teams and graphic designers, the Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle keeps colour work on brand. Magenta is one of the hardest-working colours in a photo printer, because almost every red, pink and purple draws on it. When the tank runs dry, red dresses print orange and logos lose their punch, which costs reprints and paper. A fresh 70ml bottle fixes that in under a minute. Print shops near the University of Nairobi and Kenyatta University refill often during graduation season, when portrait orders pile up.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell loose refill ink, Mascom International supplies the Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle sealed and traceable. It costs KSh 500 less than each Epson 108 colour bottle we stock for the same printers. At Mascom International, we're seeing photo studios switch back to original ink after third-party refills left banding across their prints. Buyers throughout Kenya pay with M-Pesa on delivery and check the seal first. Collect the Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle at our Kimathi Street store, or WhatsApp us to order today.
Common Questions About the Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle
What is the Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle price in Kenya?
The Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle sells for KSh 2,500 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, sealed and original. The price includes one 70ml bottle in its Epson box and a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. Delivery is pay-on-arrival across Kenya, with same-day drop-off in Nairobi. Buying the full six-colour 057 set costs KSh 15,000, the same per-bottle rate, so single bottles suit printers where magenta runs out first.
Can I mix Epson 057 and Epson 108 ink in the same L8050?
You should not mix the Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle with 108 ink inside one tank, even though both are Epson ink for the L8050. The two codes are separate regional supplies, and the printer is set up for the code it shipped with. Check the starter bottles or your printer box first. At Mascom International, 057 colour bottles cost KSh 2,500 and 108 colour bottles cost KSh 3,000, so matching 057 printers to 057 ink saves KSh 500 per refill.
How accurate are reds and brand colours with the Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle?
Reds and brand colours print closest to the screen when every tank holds original Epson ink, including the Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle. The printer's colour settings assume Epson's own magenta, so a third-party ink with a slightly different shade throws off every red and purple. For logo work, print one test page after refilling and compare it with a known good print. Designers in Westlands and Industrial Area preparing posters for clients tell us this step saves costly reprints.
Why does magenta run out before the other colours on my Epson L8050?
Magenta often empties first because almost every warm tone, red, pink and purple uses it, and the Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle replaces it on its own. Portraits, wedding décor and event posters lean heavily on these colours. Documents with blue or green branding use less. That uneven use is why buying single bottles makes sense, rather than replacing all six colours at once. Keeping one spare magenta bottle at the studio avoids stopping mid-order during a busy weekend.
How long will the Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle last for wedding photo printing?
Epson rates a full set of six 057 bottles, including the Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle, at about 2,100 4R photos. A single colour lasts longer or shorter than that depending on the job, since magenta-heavy shots drain it faster. A wedding album with red décor and warm skin tones will pull more magenta than a set of outdoor landscape shots. Track how many 4R photos you get from each refill, and you will soon know when to reorder.
Is the Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle safe for printers on unstable KPLC power?
The Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle itself is unaffected by power cuts, but a KPLC outage mid-print can leave a half-printed photo. Ink sits safely in the tank whether the printer is on or off. Refilling needs no power at all, since the bottle feeds the tank by gravity. To protect long print runs, studios in Nairobi and Eldoret run their printer on a small UPS. After an outage, run a nozzle check before printing your next paid order.
Who should buy the Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle, and who is it not for?
The Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle suits owners of an Epson L8050 or L18050 who print photos, posters, ID cards or colour flyers. Photo studios, print shops, schools and church media teams get the most from it. It is not for four-colour EcoTank office printers or cartridge printers, which take different supplies. It is also not for printers that shipped with 108 ink; the Epson 108 magenta at KSh 3,000 is the right match there.
Is the magenta bottle hard to refill on the Epson L18050?
No, refilling with the Epson 057 EcoTank Magenta Ink Bottle takes about a minute and needs no tools. Open the magenta tank cap, remove the bottle cap, then press the bottle upright onto the matching inlet. Its keyed tip fits only the magenta tank, so it cannot be poured into the wrong colour. Ink stops flowing when the tank is full. Remove the bottle, close both caps and store any leftover ink upright.
Technical Specifications
Ink and Colour
- Colour: full-strength magenta, the base ink behind every red, pink, purple and warm shadow the printer produces.
- Ink type: dye-based Epson ink, which absorbs into photo paper and gives glossy prints bright, even colour.
- Red reproduction: magenta mixed with yellow forms the reds used in flags, roses, logos and wedding décor.
- Six-colour role: works beside light magenta, which handles pale pinks while this bottle carries the deeper tones.
- Original formula: matches the colour settings built into the printer, so screen reds and printed reds stay close together.
Printer Compatibility
- Epson L8050: A4 six-colour EcoTank photo printer, used widely for photos, flyers and PVC ID cards.
- Epson L18050: A3+ six-colour EcoTank model for posters, certificates and large photo enlargements.
- Tank fit: fits the magenta tank only, guided by a colour-keyed tip that refuses every other inlet on the printer.
- Code check: 057 and 108 are separate Epson supply codes for these printers; stay with the code your printer shipped with.
- Not for four-colour EcoTank office printers or ink-cartridge printers, which use different bottles or cartridges.
Yield and Running Cost
- Set yield: Epson rates a full six-bottle 057 set at up to 7,200 pages or 2,100 4R photos.
- Photo cost: at KSh 15,000 for the full set, ink comes to about KSh 7 for each 4R photo.
- Page cost: the same set works out to about KSh 2 per page at Epson's rated yield.
- Single bottle: KSh 2,500 per bottle lets you replace magenta alone instead of paying for colours you still have.
- Price gap: each 057 colour bottle costs KSh 500 less than an Epson 108 colour bottle at Mascom International.
Bottle and Filling
- Volume: 70ml of magenta dye ink in one bottle, sized to refill the tank in a single pour.
- Keyed nozzle: the tip matches only the magenta tank, which stops colours mixing and spoiling a tank.
- Auto-stop: ink flows while the bottle sits upright on the inlet and halts when the tank reaches its full line.
- Clean refill: no syringe, funnel or squeezing, so paper stock and work surfaces stay free of ink stains.
- Recap and keep: any leftover ink stays usable inside the capped bottle until the next refill.
Storage and Handling
- Sealed storage: keep unopened bottles upright in a cool, shaded spot, away from windows and direct sunlight.
- Date check: read the use-by date on the Epson box and rotate older bottles to the front of the shelf.
- After opening: close the cap straight after filling so dust and air stay out of the remaining ink.
- Spills: wipe ink off desks at once and wash skin with soap and water; keep bottles away from children.
- Transport: carry bottles upright in their box, which protects the nozzle and seal on the way to a shoot.
