4-Piece Ink Bottle Set Multicolour (101 Epson Black|Cyan|Magenta|Yellow) Review

Epson’s reputation for quality is well-established, and their ink bottle systems have become increasingly popular. This review focuses on the 4-Piece Ink Bottle Set Multicolour (model number 101 Epson Black|Cyan|Magenta|Yellow), designed specifically for the L4150, L4160, L6160, L6170, and L6190 printer models. Having used this ink set for several weeks, I’m ready to share my detailed findings.

The set includes four bottles: black, cyan, magenta, and yellow. The ink is dye-based, promising vibrant colors and water resistance. Epson emphasizes the high page yield and cost savings compared to cartridge-based systems. The packaging is straightforward, including the ink bottles and a small instruction manual.

Installation was simple; the bottles fit securely into the printer. The print quality was consistently excellent. Colors were vivid and accurate, and text was sharp and clear. I printed a variety of documents, including photos, presentations, and everyday documents, and the results were impressive. The claim of high page yield seems accurate, I’ve been able to print a significant number of pages before needing to refill. The ink dried quickly, minimizing smudging. I particularly appreciated the water resistance; even after accidental spills, the print remained intact. Over the weeks, I haven’t experienced any clogging or print head issues, a testament to the ink’s quality and compatibility with the printer. The printing speed remains consistent across various print jobs.

Pros:

  • Excellent print quality, vibrant colors.
  • High page yield, cost-effective.
  • Easy installation and use.
  • Fast drying time and water resistance.
  • No noticeable clogging or print head issues.

Cons:

  • Only compatible with specified Epson printer models.
  • May be slightly more expensive upfront compared to some third-party inks (though the higher page yield offsets this).

The Epson 4-Piece Ink Bottle Set Multicolour (101 Epson Black|Cyan|Magenta|Yellow) delivers on its promises. The print quality is superb, the page yield is impressive, and the overall user experience is positive. While the compatibility is limited to a specific range of printers, if your printer is on that list, this ink set is a worthwhile investment. I highly recommend it for both home and small office use.
