Epson 114 Original

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re just topping up an Epson printer you already own, the Epson 114 “original” ink is a sensible, low-risk buy—especially at £12.98 ex-VAT. Original cartridges tend to be more consistent with colour and print reliability than cheaper compatibles, so you’re less likely to get those “why does this look faded/stripy?” moments, or spend time fiddling with cleaning cycles. For a business that prints the same document types regularly (invoices, letters, basic marketing bits), that reliability is usually worth it.

That said, if you print a lot and your priority is lowest cost per page, this might not be your best value. Original inks can be pricey versus third-party alternatives, and the savings quickly evaporate if you end up running extra prints to cover faint output. I’d recommend it if you care about dependable day-to-day output and don’t want surprises—otherwise, if cost per page is king for heavy-volume printing, it’s worth comparing compatibles or higher-yield options.
