Epson UltraChrome Pro 12 ink cartridge 1 pc(s) Original Violet

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The Epson **UltraChrome Pro 12** violet cartridge is one of those “you get what you pay for” inks—great if you’re printing colour-critical work and you want consistent, archival-style results. In practice, violet is most valuable for photographers and fine-art repro guys who need smooth gradients and accurate purples for skin tones, artwork prints, and museum-style work. If you’re already on an Epson Pro workflow, sticking with the OEM cartridge tends to avoid the annoying variables (banding, weak colour in specific channels, and headaches around profiling).

That said, at **£121.38 ex-VAT**, it’s not something I’d buy casually for general office printing or the occasional photo. If you’re mostly doing drafts, internal documents, posters, or “good enough” colour, the cost per print will sting, and you’d be better off using a cheaper ink option that matches your tolerance for less perfect colour. **Bottom line:** buy it if you’re paying for quality and you actually use violet/colour accuracy regularly; skip it if your output is mixed, low-volume, or not colour-critical, because this cartridge’s real value only shows up when you can see and measure the difference.
