Mascom International stocks the Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle at KSh 4,000, available now at our Nairobi CBD store as a brand new and sealed 127ml bottle of genuine pigment ink. The Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle feeds the black tank on Epson's business colour EcoTanks, including the L6490, L6550, L6570, L15150 and L15160. Epson rates a single bottle at up to 7,500 pages, which comes to roughly KSh 0.53 per page. That is fifteen full reams of typed documents from one refill. You will find us at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Monday to Saturday.
Designed for busy offices, the Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle carries most of the daily load in a four-colour business printer. Letters, payslips, delivery notes and tender documents are mostly black, so this tank empties first. Accountants in Upper Hill, county procurement teams and university departments at JKUAT and Kenyatta University print hundreds of such pages each week. The Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle holds more ink than its colour partners, 127ml against 70ml, so the tank that works hardest also lasts longest between refills. Fewer refills means fewer interrupted print runs on deadline days.
Where many electronics shops in Nairobi sell loose bottles with no carton or date, Mascom International supplies the Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle in Epson's sealed retail box. Procurement officers throughout Kenya tell us that sealed genuine stock makes their audit paperwork simpler. Share your printer model on WhatsApp, and we confirm the Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle suits it before any money changes hands. Walk in to Kimathi Street, or order with pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere across Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle
Which Epson printers take the Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle?
The Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle fits the L6460, L6490, L6550, L6570, L6580, L11160, L15150, L15160, L15180, M15140 and M15180. These are Epson's business EcoTanks, several of which print on A3 paper. It does not fit home models like the L3250, or the M1100 and M2140 mono printers, which take the 110 bottle. Mascom International checks compatibility for free. Photograph the label on your printer's ink tank and send it to +254 708 852 521 on WhatsApp.
How many pages will the Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle give me?
Epson rates the Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle at up to 7,500 pages, extrapolated from standard ISO test patterns. That is fifteen 500-sheet reams of ordinary text documents. At the Mascom International price of KSh 4,000, each page costs about 53 cents in black ink. Your own count will differ with content. Short letters beat the rating, while spreadsheets with shaded rows and scanned ID copies pull the number down.
Can I use the Epson 112 black bottle in a printer that takes the Epson 110XL?
No. The Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle and the Epson 110XL bottle carry different nozzle shapes, and each fits only its own printer family. The 112 serves colour business models like the L6490 and L15150, while the 110XL serves mono models like the M1120 and M3170. Pouring the wrong bottle risks mixing formulas inside the tank. Mascom International stocks both, with the 110XL at KSh 3,600, so tell us your model and we hand over the right one.
Does pigment black work on glossy photo paper?
The Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle holds pigment ink, which is built for plain office paper rather than glossy photo sheets. On plain paper it dries fast and resists smudges from highlighters. On glossy paper, pigment can sit on the coating and rub off before it dries fully. Studios that print mostly photos are better served by a dye-ink photo printer such as the Epson L8050, whose 108 bottles Mascom International also stocks for photographers.
How much black ink does an A3 page use on the L15150 or L15160?
An A3 page has twice the area of an A4 page, so expect it to use roughly twice the ink of the same content on A4. Based on the Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle rating of 7,500 A4 pages, that equals around 3,750 A3 text pages per bottle. Architects printing drawings in Kilimani and schools printing A3 timetables should budget on that basis. Mascom International keeps spare bottles in stock for heavy A3 users.
What happens to the ink if the office printer sits idle over school holidays?
Pigment ink can settle and dry in the nozzles when an EcoTank stands unused for several weeks. Before a long closure, print a nozzle check page and switch the printer off with its own power button so the head caps itself. When you return, print a test page first. Schools closing for December and offices shutting over Easter should plan for this. A fresh Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle from Mascom International restores full tank levels after any cleaning cycles.
Who should buy the Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle, and who should skip it?
Buy the Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle if you run an L6490, L6550, L6570, L15150, L15160 or another 112-series printer and mainly print text. Skip it if you own a mono M-series EcoTank, because those need the Epson 110XL bottle. Skip it too for a six-colour photo printer, since the L8050 and L18050 run on 108 bottles. Mascom International stocks every one of these series in sealed cartons, so a WhatsApp photo of your tank label settles the choice.
Will non-genuine ink affect my Epson printer warranty?
Epson's printer warranty generally excludes damage caused by ink that Epson did not supply, so a blocked head from cheap refills can leave you paying for repairs. The Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle is the formula Epson designed for these printers, which keeps that protection intact. For an L15160 costing far more than a lifetime of ink, the risk rarely makes sense. Mascom International supplies genuine Epson cartons only, and we keep your receipt details for any later printer claim.
How can I tell a genuine Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle from a fake?
A genuine Epson 112 EcoTank Black Ink Bottle comes in a sealed carton marked with product code C13T06C14A, the Epson logo and the EcoTank badge. The carton carries a use-by date and batch details, and the bottle nozzle is shaped for the black tank only. Fakes often arrive loose, unsealed or with blurred printing. Buying from Mascom International, a registered retailer with a walk-in store on Kimathi Street, removes that guesswork entirely.
Technical Specifications
Black Ink Profile
- Product code C13T06C14A marks the genuine Epson 112 black bottle on the carton and bottle label.
- Each bottle contains 127ml of pigment black ink, larger than the 70ml bottles in the 112 colour set.
- Rated yield reaches up to 7,500 pages, extrapolated by Epson from standard ISO test pattern simulations.
- Pigment particles stay on the paper surface, giving sharp small print on ordinary 80gsm office sheets.
- Dry pages resist highlighter smears and light water splashes, suiting files handled across many desks.
- Deep neutral black pairs with the 112 pigment colours for charts and letterheads on plain paper.
Supported EcoTank Models
- L6460, L6490, L6550, L6570 and L6580, A4 business printers with scanning and copying functions.
- L11160, an A3 single-function model for offices printing large sheets such as plans and schedules.
- L15150, L15160 and L15180, A3 multifunction EcoTanks used by architects, schools and print bureaus.
- M15140 and M15180, A3 monochrome EcoTank models that also take the 112 black bottle.
- Not compatible with M1100, M2140 or M3170 mono printers, which need the Epson 110 bottle.
- Not compatible with home EcoTanks such as the L3250, which use a separate bottle series.
Filling Mechanism
- Keyed nozzle matches only the black tank inlet, preventing black ink from entering a colour tank.
- Ink drains by gravity once the bottle stands upright, with no squeezing or pressing needed.
- Flow slows automatically near the tank's upper line, cutting the risk of overflow and spills.
- Resealable cap lets you fill part of the bottle now and keep the rest for later.
- Refills take under five minutes, with no cartridges to align and no chips to reset.
- A clear tank window on the printer shows the current level at a glance throughout the week.
Cost per Page Breakdown
- Black text costs about KSh 0.53 per page at the Mascom International price of KSh 4,000.
- A 500-sheet ream of text documents uses roughly KSh 267 worth of black ink.
- A 60-page tender submission uses about KSh 32 of black ink at the rated yield.
- A colour page using all four 112 bottles costs around KSh 2.30 in ink at rated yields.
- Scanned copies, shaded tables and bold letterheads draw more ink than plain letters.
- Every head cleaning uses ink from all four tanks, so run cleanings only when a nozzle check fails.
Care and Storage
- Keep unopened bottles upright in their cartons, away from windows, heaters and direct sunlight.
- Print a page every few days, so pigment ink keeps flowing and does not settle in the head.
- Switch off with the printer's own button before unplugging, letting the head cap itself properly.
- Refill before the tank drops below its lower line, keeping air out of the ink supply path.
- Cover the printer overnight in dusty workplaces along Thika Road, Mombasa Road and Industrial Area.
Output Quality on Office Paper
- Fine 8-point text in contracts and statements prints with firm edges instead of feathered, fuzzy strokes.
- Pages dry almost as soon as they leave the tray, so stacked documents do not transfer ink.
- Rubber stamps and pen signatures applied over printed text sit cleanly without blurring the type.
- Barcodes and QR codes on delivery notes print dark enough for warehouse scanners to read first time.
- Archived files keep their dark tone in drawers and box files, which matters for audit records.
- Pages mixing a colour logo with black body text keep one consistent look across a whole tender pack.
