Mascom International stocks the Epson 057 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle at KSh 2,500, brand new and sealed in its original Epson box, ready to collect or deliver. The bottle holds 70ml of Epson dye ink for the six-colour L8050 and L18050 photo printers. The Epson 057 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle provides the yellow that forms greens with cyan and reds with magenta, so it touches almost every colour photo. You can buy the Epson 057 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle at our shop in the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for photo studios, cyber cafés, school photographers and event printers across Kenya, the Epson 057 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle keeps colour prints warm and natural. Yellow is easy to overlook, because a low tank rarely looks empty on a quick glance. The first sign is usually prints that look cold, with grey grass and dull skin. A sealed 70ml bottle brings the tank back to full without tools, and warm colour returns from the next print onward. Cyber cafés in Kisumu and Nakuru printing passport photos and graduation portraits from Moi and JKUAT keep a yellow spare so jobs never stall.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded refill ink in plain bottles, Mascom International offers the Epson 057 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle sealed and original. Each bottle costs KSh 500 less than the Epson 108 colour bottles we carry for the same printers. Buyers throughout Kenya report steadier colour and fewer blocked nozzles after returning to original Epson ink. You can pay with M-Pesa when your order arrives. Walk into our Kimathi Street store to pick up the Epson 057 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle, or send a WhatsApp message for same-day Nairobi delivery.
Common Questions About the Epson 057 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle
How much does the Epson 057 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle cost in Kenya?
The Epson 057 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle costs KSh 2,500 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and factory sealed. You get one 70ml bottle in its Epson box, backed by a 6-month warranty against leaks, cracked nozzles and broken seals. We deliver pay-on-arrival nationwide, with same-day drop-off in Nairobi. The complete six-colour 057 set costs KSh 15,000, the same rate per bottle, so buy yellow alone when only that tank is low.
Why do my L8050 prints look cold or bluish when yellow ink is low?
Prints look cold when the yellow tank runs low, and refilling with the Epson 057 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle restores warm tones. Yellow balances the cyan and magenta in every colour, so without it grass turns grey-blue and skin looks pale. The change is gradual, which makes it easy to miss until a customer complains. Check the yellow tank level before big print runs, and keep a spare bottle so a graduation order never goes out looking washed out.
Is the Epson 057 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle a better buy than the Epson 108 yellow?
The Epson 057 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle costs KSh 2,500 at Mascom International, while the Epson 108 yellow costs KSh 3,000 for the same L8050 and L18050 printers. Both are original Epson ink. The deciding factor is the code your printer shipped with, since 057 and 108 serve different supply regions. If your starter bottles say 057, this bottle saves KSh 500 every refill. If they say 108, stay with the 108 yellow for consistency.
Can I put 057 yellow ink into an L18050 that came with 108 bottles?
It is safest to keep each printer on the code it shipped with, so use the Epson 057 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle in printers set up for 057. Mixing two supply codes in one tank can upset the colour your printer expects, and it may not be supported. Look at the code on your printer's box or starter bottles before ordering. Send a photo of that label on WhatsApp, and Mascom International will confirm the right code before you pay.
Do I need a nozzle check after refilling the yellow tank on my Epson printer?
A nozzle check after refilling with the Epson 057 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle is not essential, but it is a sensible habit before paid work. The printer prints a short test pattern showing whether every colour fires cleanly. Yellow lines are faint on white paper, so look closely. If a gap appears, run one head cleaning from the printer menu, then check again. This costs a little ink but saves a full sheet of expensive photo paper.
Will yellow ink prints fade when displayed in Kenyan sunshine?
Any dye-ink photo, including prints made with the Epson 057 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle, lasts longer kept out of direct sunlight. Strong Kenyan sun through a window is harder on colour than indoor light. Frame wall prints behind glass and hang them on walls that do not face the afternoon sun. Photos kept in albums or envelopes stay bright much longer. Studios in Mombasa and other coastal towns should also keep prints away from damp walls.
Who should buy the Epson 057 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle, and who should look elsewhere?
The Epson 057 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle is for owners of the Epson L8050 or L18050 who print photos, posters, flyers or ID cards in colour. Studios, print shops and cyber cafés use the most yellow. Owners of four-colour EcoTank office printers should look elsewhere, because those machines take different bottles. Owners whose printer came with 108 ink are better served by the Epson 108 yellow at KSh 3,000.
What happens if I try to fill the wrong tank with the Epson 057 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle?
The Epson 057 EcoTank Yellow Ink Bottle cannot fill the wrong tank, because its nozzle is shaped to fit only the yellow inlet. If you press it onto the magenta or cyan tank, it simply will not seat or pour. That design protects you from ruining a tank with mixed colours, a common problem with squeeze-bottle refill ink. Once seated on the yellow inlet, ink flows until the tank is full and then stops.
Technical Specifications
Ink and Colour
- Colour: yellow, the base ink that mixes with cyan for greens and with magenta for reds and oranges.
- Ink type: dye-based Epson ink, which soaks into photo paper for bright colour and a smooth glossy finish.
- Warm balance: yellow offsets the cool cyan and magenta tones, keeping skin, grass and sunsets looking natural in every print.
- Six-colour role: works with black, cyan, magenta, light cyan and light magenta to produce lab-style photo gradients at home.
- Original formula: matches the colour settings already inside the printer, so greens and golds print as they look on screen.
Printer Compatibility
- Epson L8050: the A4 six-colour EcoTank photo printer common in studios for photos, flyers and PVC ID cards.
- Epson L18050: the A3+ six-colour EcoTank model for posters, certificates and enlarged photos up to A3+ size.
- Tank fit: made for the yellow tank only; the keyed nozzle will not seat on any other colour's inlet.
- Supply code: 057 and 108 are separate Epson codes for these printers, so match the code on your starter bottles.
- Not for four-colour EcoTank office printers or cartridge printers, which use different bottles or cartridges entirely.
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 a set, ink works out to about KSh 7 for each 4R photo printed.
- Page cost: the same set comes to roughly KSh 2 per page at Epson's rated page yield.
- Buying singly: at KSh 2,500, you replace yellow on its own and keep paying only for the colours you use.
- Price gap: each 057 colour bottle is KSh 500 cheaper than an Epson 108 colour bottle at Mascom International.
Bottle and Filling
- Volume: 70ml of yellow dye ink, enough to refill the yellow tank in one clean pour.
- Keyed nozzle: the tip shape matches only the yellow inlet, which stops a wrong-colour fill before it starts.
- Auto-stop: ink flows while the bottle stands upright on the inlet and stops once the tank is full.
- Tool-free: no syringe, funnel or squeezing is needed, so desks, hands and paper stay clean during refills.
- Resealable cap: any leftover ink stays fresh in the capped bottle, ready for the next top-up.
Storage and Handling
- Unopened: store bottles upright in a cool, shaded cupboard away from windows, generators and other heat sources.
- Shelf life: check the use-by date printed on the Epson box and use the oldest bottle first.
- Opened: replace the cap immediately after filling to keep out dust and stop the remaining ink drying.
- Safety: keep bottles away from children, and wash any ink off skin with ordinary soap and water.
- Travel: carry bottles upright inside their Epson box to protect the nozzle and seal on the road.
