The Epson EcoTank 103 Cyan Ink Bottle is in stock at Mascom International for KSh 2,300, brand new and factory sealed with the Epson hologram intact. Each bottle holds 65ml of genuine dye-based cyan ink rated for up to 7,500 pages at 5% coverage, and carries Epson part number C13T00S24A. Collect it from our shop at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, open Monday to Saturday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Countrywide delivery with payment on arrival covers all 47 counties.
Cyber café operators along Tom Mboya Street, school bursars printing exam papers in Kisii and Kakamega, church administrators running weekly bulletins, and small accounting practices issuing colour invoices all burn through cyan faster than they expect. Charts, letterheads, company logos and photo prints pull heavily from the cyan tank, and a printer that runs dry mid-job costs you a client deadline. The Epson EcoTank 103 Cyan Ink Bottle refills that tank in under two minutes, without cartridges, chip resets or a technician visit.
At Mascom International, we're witnessing steady demand for single-colour bottles rather than four-packs, because tanks empty at different rates and buying only what ran out saves money. Unlike traditional electronics retailers in Kenya who stock loose bottles with no traceable part number, every Epson EcoTank 103 Cyan Ink Bottle we sell carries its sealed cap and printed batch code for verification. Users consistently report sharper colour blocks and cleaner nozzle behaviour after switching back from generic refills. Walk in to Kimathi Street or order for delivery to your county.
Common Questions About the Epson EcoTank 103 Cyan Ink Bottle
What is the Epson 103 Cyan Ink Bottle and which printers does it fit?
It is Epson's own 65ml cyan refill for EcoTank ink tank printers, sold under part number C13T00S24A. It fits the L1110, L3110, L3111, L3150, L3151, L3156, L3160 and L5190, along with the newer L1210, L1250, L3210, L3211, L3250, L3251, L3256, L3260, L5290 and L5590. These are the four-colour dye models sold widely across Kenyan offices and cyber cafés. Check the code printed beside your printer's ink tanks before buying, or send us the model number on WhatsApp.
How many pages does one 65ml cyan bottle print?
Epson rates each colour bottle at up to 7,500 pages, measured against ISO/IEC 24712 test patterns at roughly 5% coverage per page. Text documents with a coloured header or logo sit near that figure. Dense work such as full-page charts, marketing flyers or photographs draws far more ink per sheet, so expect 800 to 2,000 pages from heavy graphics printing. The first fill on a new printer also consumes some ink charging the print head, which is normal.
What does this bottle cost per printed page in Kenya?
At KSh 2,300 for up to 7,500 pages, the cyan channel works out to roughly KSh 0.31 per page. A cartridge printer in the same class costs between KSh 3 and KSh 8 per colour page once you account for cartridge prices and their smaller volume. For a school printing 2,000 report cards a term, that gap is the difference between KSh 620 and several thousand shillings spent on one colour alone.
Is this genuine Epson ink or a compatible copy?
Every bottle Mascom International stocks is genuine Epson, carrying the C13T00S24A part number, the factory seal and the keyed cap that only opens over a matching cyan tank. Generic refills sold loose in plastic bottles have no such coding and no batch traceability. Epson formulates this dye ink for its Micro Piezo print heads, which fire droplets as small as 3 picolitres. You are welcome to inspect the seal at our Kimathi Street counter before paying.
My printer box says 003 can I still use 103 ink?
Epson labels the same four-colour dye ink differently by sales region: 003 covers Asian and African markets, 103 covers Europe, and T522 covers North America. All three cover the same L-series printers listed above. The bottle caps are keyed by colour, not by region, so a cyan bottle only opens over a cyan tank.
How do I refill the cyan tank without spilling ink?
Leave the printer switched on, open the tank cover, then lift the cyan cap on the tank unit. Remove the bottle cap, keep the bottle upright, and insert its nozzle into the cyan port. Ink flows on its own and stops when the tank reaches the upper line. No squeezing is needed. Close both caps, and the whole job takes under two minutes. Wipe any drops with a dry cloth rather than water.
What goes wrong when you refill with cheap generic ink?
Generic dye mixes vary in viscosity and particle size, and the common results are clogged nozzles, banding across printed sheets, and colours that shift towards purple or grey after a few weeks. Cleaning cycles then waste more ink than you saved. Nairobi repair shops charge KSh 2,500 to KSh 6,000 for print head cleaning, and a blocked head sometimes cannot be recovered. The KSh 2,300 spent on genuine ink protects a printer worth twenty times that.
Can I order this cyan bottle from outside Nairobi?
Yes. Mascom International ships to every Kenyan county with payment on arrival, so you pay the rider or courier once the sealed bottle is in your hands. Nairobi and its environs receive same-day delivery when you order during shop hours. Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Nyeri, Meru and other towns receive next-business-day delivery. Order on +254 708 852 521, and send us your printer model so we confirm the correct ink code first.
Technical Specifications
Ink Formulation and Colour Output
- Dye-based cyan formulation produces bright blues and clean sky tones on plain copier paper and photo stock
- Water-soluble dye dries quickly on 80gsm paper, cutting smudge risk when pages stack straight out of the tray
- Formulated for Epson Micro Piezo print heads, which fire droplets down to 3 picolitres for fine detail
- Combines with magenta and yellow to build greens, purples and skin tones in photo and chart printing
- Colour output stays consistent across a full bottle, so page 4,000 matches page 40 in a long run
- Contains 2,4,7,9-tetramethyldec-5-yne-4,7-diol; keep away from children and wash any skin contact with soap
Page Yield and Running Cost
- •65ml volume per bottle, the same fill size Epson uses across black, cyan, magenta and yellow in this range
- Rated up to 7,500 pages at 5% page coverage using Epson's ISO/IEC 24712 test pattern methodology
- Roughly KSh 0.31 per page on the cyan channel at the KSh 2,300 shop price in Kenya
- Photo and full-page graphics work draws four to eight times more ink per sheet than text documents
- Initial print head charging on a brand new printer consumes part of the first fill, lowering that bottle's yield
- Single-colour purchase lets you replace only the tank that ran dry instead of buying a four-bottle set
Printer Compatibility Across the L-Series Range
- Fits EcoTank L1110, L3110, L3111, L3150, L3151, L3156, L3160 and L5190 four-colour dye printers
- Also covers the newer L1210, L1250, L3210, L3211, L3230, L3250, L3251, L3256 and L3260 models
- Supports L5290, L5296, L5310, L5316, L5590 and the A3 L11050 for larger office workloads
- Not for pigment-ink models using 101, 105, 106, 110, 112 or 113 codes — check before refilling
- Same ink family as Epson 003 and T522 bottles, which are regional labels for these identical printers
- Send your printer model number to our WhatsApp line and we confirm compatibility before dispatch
Bottle Design and Refill Method
- Keyed nozzle only mates with the matching cyan port, blocking accidental colour mixing during a rushed refill
- Gravity-fed flow stops automatically at the tank's upper fill line, removing the guesswork of squeeze bottles
- No squeezing needed, so hands stay clean and desks stay free of the spills older refill kits caused
- Bottle measures roughly 178 x 56 x 58mm, small enough to keep two spares in a desk drawer
- Screw cap reseals a partly used bottle for storage until the tank needs topping up again
- No chips, no cartridge slots and no resets, so refilling never triggers a firmware recognition prompt
Storage, Handling and Shelf Life
- Store upright, sealed, between 10°C and 35°C away from direct sunlight to hold viscosity steady
- Coastal humidity in Mombasa, Malindi and Diani does not affect sealed bottles kept in a cupboard
- Epson advises using ink within six months of opening for consistent colour and reliable nozzle flow
- Check the printed expiry on the bottle base; unopened stock typically holds two years from manufacture
- Keep bottles out of vehicle dashboards and window ledges, where Nairobi afternoon heat degrades dye stability
- Print at least a few pages weekly, since idle print heads dry faster than ink sitting in tanks
Product Identification and Genuine Sourcing
- Epson part number C13T00S24A appears on the carton and bottle label for straightforward verification
- Sold as a single cyan bottle rather than a multipack, matching how most Kenyan offices actually replace ink
- Factory seal and hologram remain intact on every unit until you open it yourself
- Batch code printed on the pack lets Epson service centres trace the production run if a query arises
- Matching bottles available at Mascom International: black C13T00S14A, magenta C13T00S34A and yellow C13T00S44A
- Inspect the seal, cap and label at our Nairobi CBD counter or on delivery before you pay
Package Contents
- One Epson EcoTank 103 Cyan Ink Bottle, 65ml, factory sealed with keyed cap
- Retail carton printed with part number C13T00S24A, colour marking and batch code
- Epson safety and handling leaflet inside the carton
- Refill guidance from our counter staff, on request, for first-time ink tank users
Note that ink bottles ship without droppers, syringes or gloves, since the keyed nozzle pours directly into the tank port without extra tools.
