Epson C13T61480N ink cartridge 1 pc(s) Original Matte black

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £96.60 ex‑VAT for an **original** Epson matte black cartridge, this is one of those “it hurts, but it’s predictable” buys. If you’re running an Epson large‑format setup that *requires* this exact cartridge for consistent blacks and clean prints (especially on matte media), the main value is reliability: correct colour behaviour, fewer printhead/colour management headaches, and generally better longevity versus cheap substitutes. For a print shop that needs repeatable output and doesn’t want to waste labour time debugging colour or banding, it’s money well spent.

That said, if you’re printing occasionally, have a lot of mixed jobs, or you’re cost-sensitive above all else, you might be better off looking at your actual monthly ink consumption and test runs with alternatives/compatibles (if your machine and workflow tolerate them). Original inks are rarely “best value,” they’re “best certainty.” Also, if your printer supports switching between ink types and you’re not consistently using matte media, buying this cartridge specifically can be a false economy—better to align purchasing with what you actually print.
