Epson 114 Original

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

Epson’s “114” original ink at £12.98 ex‑VAT is usually a fair price *if* you’re printing regularly and you want fewer hassles with clogging, poor colour matching, or annoying compatibility prompts. In my experience, genuine Epson cartridges hold up better over time than the budget third‑party options—especially if your printer doesn’t get used every day. If you’ve been seeing faded output or inconsistent results before, going original is often the quickest way to get back to predictable quality.

That said, if you’re a low-volume office and you’re mainly doing occasional text documents, this is probably not where you should spend. Original inks can feel expensive once you factor in “cost per page,” and you’ll likely get similar day-to-day results from a cheaper alternative (as long as you’re not seeing frequent ink starvation or quality issues). So: buy this if you value reliability and want the best chance of clean, consistent prints without experimenting; skip or reconsider if you’re cost-focused and print sparingly.
