AI-generated summary
At £136 ex-VAT for a single original magenta cartridge, this is priced more like “you’ve got no choice” than “good value.” The main thing you’re paying for here is reliability and colour consistency—original Epson inks tend to behave predictably on Epson inkjet printers (less hassle with print quality drift, fewer weird banding/colour shifts). If you’re printing customer-facing documents, branded material, or anything where you don’t want to be troubleshooting mid-job, that predictability can be worth it.
That said, I’d only recommend this to teams that genuinely use enough colour to make high-yield ink sensible. If you print a small volume or the printer sits idle, the cost per page can get ugly fast and you’ll end up burning cash on cartridge turnover. For cost-conscious environments (office admin, low-frequency colour, lots of mono), you’ll usually be better off looking at alternative compatible/remanufactured options or running a strategy that reduces colour intensity. Bottom line: buy it if you need dependable magenta and your printer is used heavily; otherwise, the price makes it hard to justify.
