Epson 114 Original

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £12.98 ex-VAT, the Epson 114 “Original” is the kind of ink cartridge I’d only recommend if you’re in a workflow where print quality matters and you’re printing often enough that you’re not constantly dealing with dried heads. Original Epson cartridges tend to be more consistent batch-to-batch and generally behave better over time than cheaper compatibles—so you’ll spend less time troubleshooting streaks or uneven colour, which is usually the real hidden cost in B2B environments.

That said, if your usage is light, this is probably not great value. Inkjet cartridges like this can become uneconomical when they sit around and partially dry out, especially in shared office printers or small teams that don’t print weekly. If you’re printing daily or you’ve already got an Epson workflow that the team knows and trusts, it’s a sensible, low-risk buy. If you’re printing sporadically, I’d weigh whether a higher-yield option or a compatible strategy (with a good track record) makes more sense for cost control.
