Epson 102 EcoTank Original

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £33.16 ex‑VAT for an Epson EcoTank “102” original ink, this is basically a sensible buy if you’ve already committed to an Epson EcoTank printer and you just need to keep it running without drama. The main reason to go original here isn’t hype—it’s reliability. In offices, you don’t want printhead headaches or odd colour shifts from third‑party ink, and Epson’s own cartridges/ink are usually far more predictable on cost per page once you’re actually using the tank regularly.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this if you only print occasionally or you don’t know you’ll get through the ink before it sits. For light users, the “cheap” ink story often disappears because consumables cost vs. usage rate matters, and ink you don’t use is just money in the printer cupboard. If you’re a busy team printing steady volumes, this is a good, low-risk way to protect print quality and reduce support tickets. If you’re sporadic printing, check your usage first (or consider whether a lower-cost alternative makes more sense) before paying for original ink.
