For weeks, I’ve been putting the 101 Ink Ecotank 4-Colour Multipack Multicolour (Model Number: 101 Multi-Pack) through its paces. This multipack, boasting 70ml bottles and compatibility with a range of Epson EcoTank printers (L6160, L4260, L6270, L6290), promised significant cost savings and vibrant prints. But does it deliver on its promises? Let’s dive into my in-depth review.

The 101 Multi-Pack is straightforward. The packaging is clear and concise, clearly indicating its compatibility. Inside, you find four individual 70ml ink bottles, one each for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. The bottles themselves have a clever design that minimizes spills and makes filling the EcoTank reservoirs surprisingly easy. The ink flows smoothly, preventing any clogging issues during the refilling process.

I tested the 101 Multi-Pack ink across a variety of print jobs, from simple text documents to high-resolution photographs. The print quality, especially for photos, exceeded my expectations. Colors were vibrant and accurate, with excellent detail reproduction. Even small text remained crisp and legible. I also printed a substantial number of documents over several weeks to gauge the longevity. The ink lasted impressively longer than other comparable ink packs I’ve used, which certainly justifies the cost-per-page savings.

I did notice a very slight variation in color saturation across different print jobs; however, this was barely perceptible and didn’t impact the overall quality significantly. Perhaps this is due to minor variations in the ink itself, or possibly my printer’s calibration.

The refilling process itself was clean and straightforward. The bottles are designed to minimize mess, and the ink flows smoothly, making it easy to fill the EcoTank reservoirs without any spills or leaks. The overall ease of use is commendable.

Pros:

• Excellent print quality, especially for photos.
• Cost-effective compared to standard cartridges.
• Easy-to-use refill system minimizing mess.
• Long-lasting ink supply.

Cons:

• Minor inconsistencies in color saturation observed across different print jobs.
• Availability may vary depending on your region.

Overall, the 101 Ink Ecotank 4-Colour Multipack Multicolour (101 Multi-Pack) is a strong contender in the EcoTank ink market. The exceptional print quality, coupled with the cost-effectiveness and ease of use, makes it a compelling choice for anyone with a compatible Epson EcoTank printer. While I did note minor inconsistencies in color saturation, these are negligible compared to the overall benefits. I wholeheartedly recommend this ink for users looking for a high-quality, affordable, and convenient ink solution.
