AI-generated summary
At £12.98 ex-VAT for an “Original” Epson refill, I’d say this is only a good buy if you’re staying loyal to Epson cartridges and you value consistency over tinkering. In practice, OEM ink tends to print more reliably on Epson machines—fewer “why is it streaking/why won’t it read?” moments, and colours are usually more predictable for office documents and routine business graphics. If your print volumes are steady and you just want to keep downtime low, this kind of spend feels sensible.
That said, for teams chasing value per page, ink refills/OEM replacements can be a hard sell compared to compatible options—especially if you mostly print draft text or you can tolerate slightly more variance in colour. Also, “refill” cartridges can be a minefield: if you’re the sort of buyer who cares about long-term print head health, sticking with the right Epson consumable and using it as intended matters. I’d recommend it for small offices that want dependable Epson performance, and I’d avoid it if you’re cost-optimising heavily or printing ultra-low volumes where ink can dry out and waste money.
