Epson C13T13M340 ink cartridge 1 pc(s) Original Extra (Super) High Yield Magenta

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £440.33 ex-VAT for a *single* original magenta cartridge, this is one of those “only makes sense in a very specific setup” purchases. Yes, Epson’s OEM ink tends to be more predictable on colour accuracy and reliability than compatible options, and you’re less likely to fight printhead/tile artefacts. But the price is so high that it usually wipes out any savings you’d get from buying fewer, higher-yield cartridges—unless you’re printing infrequently and the alternative is risking quality on critical colour work.

I’d suggest this for businesses doing small-to-moderate volumes of colour-critical prints (marketing proofs, branded documents, occasional signage) where downtime or colour drift would be genuinely costly. If you’re printing lots of pages, or you’re cost-sensitive, you should look at whether your printer’s ink costs are in line with your actual monthly usage—because in many offices, the cheapest long-run option is either lower-cost compatible cartridges or a different printer model/ink strategy. If you tell me the exact Epson printer model and your typical monthly print count, I can sanity-check whether this cartridge price actually works for your numbers.
