At £406.12 ex-VAT for an *original* Epson orange cartridge, this is absolutely a “only if it makes business sense” purchase. For most teams running large-format printers day-to-day, ink spend like this can quickly turn into a silent budget killer—especially if your print volumes are modest or you’re not consistently using that specific orange. The big question isn’t whether it’s “good” (originals are usually reliable on colour consistency and clog resistance), it’s whether your workflow actually demands that orange frequently enough to justify the cost.
I’d consider this for in-house print operations that regularly produce orange-heavy work—think branded graphics, signage, packaging mockups, or anything where colour accuracy matters and you can’t afford banding or unpredictable shifts. If your output is consistent and you’re monitoring cost per print (not just cartridge price), originals can be worth it because downtime and reprints are expensive. But if you’re a lower-volume reseller/agency, doing occasional large-format jobs, or you can’t guarantee throughput before ink ages, I’d be cautious—this is the kind of cartridge you buy once and then regret if jobs dry up. If you tell me your printer model and typical monthly output, I can give a sharper “buy vs don’t buy” recommendation.
