£533.68 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
At £440.33 ex-VAT for a single Epson cyan cartridge, this is one of those purchases that only makes sense in very specific setups. If you’re doing high-volume print in a controlled environment and you *know* your printer models accept this exact “Extra (Super) High Yield” cartridge, then buying original can reduce downtime and colour-matching headaches versus cheaper compatible inks. But in most offices, that price is so aggressive that it’s hard to justify on running cost alone—especially once you factor in how inkjet cost per page can balloon when coverage isn’t consistently high.
I’d recommend this only if your business is printing lots of cyan-heavy output and you’re committed to original Epson to avoid clogging/quality issues and to keep warranty/firmware behaviour predictable. If you mostly print low-to-medium volume, mixed documents, or you’ve got frequent “print heads drying out” problems, this isn’t good value—at that cost, even a few months of light use can make the economics look ugly. If you tell me your printer model and roughly how many pages you print per month (and whether they’re text-heavy or graphics), I can sanity-check whether this price is likely to be cost-effective or a trap.
