Epson 103 EcoTank ink: models and refilling
UpdatedEpson lists the 103 series for EcoTank L1110, L3110, L3150, L3151, L3160 and L5190 in Europe. The Startoner listing also names these six models. A shared reference does not guarantee the result of every third-party bottle. Check your printer’s ink code and the tank colour before filling it.
What it is and which printers it fits
Epson lists its original 103 series for one or more supplies in the six models below. Startoner also lists these models for its compatible bottles, but colours and regional versions are not automatically interchangeable. Check your regional ink code, tank colour and chosen variant.
- Epson EcoTank L1110
- Epson EcoTank L3110
- Epson EcoTank L3150
- Epson EcoTank L3151
- Epson EcoTank L3160
- Epson EcoTank L5190
If your model is not listed, check its manual or ink label before selecting another series. The EcoTank name alone does not establish bottle compatibility.
How to install it and what to do if it "doesn't recognise" the ink
Refilling an EcoTank is straightforward as long as you respect the order and, above all, the colour of each reservoir:
- Open the cover and find the tank for the correct colour. Check the ink code in your model's manual.
- Read the chosen bottle's instructions before opening it. Bring its nozzle to the inlet only if it matches without force; if it does not fit, stop and ask the seller.
- Fill only as directed by the printer manual and the chosen packaging, without exceeding the maximum mark. Then close the tank and cover.
- If the printer calls for an initial ink charge or nozzle check, follow the procedure for your exact model in its manual.
Do not assume refilling requires a bottle-chip reset. After filling the correct tank to the indicated mark, follow only your model’s instructions to confirm the ink level if prompted. Epson explains that its estimated level may differ from the physical amount. Do not assume a universal reset sequence or that every alert will disappear.
Stated yield and cost per page
Before comparing yields, identify the colour and bottle size you selected. The product page combines several options, so one page figure cannot be applied to them all.
To calculate cost per page, you need the current price and a measured yield for the specific variant. If the yield is missing, the calculation is not verified. See also the real cost of printing.
Why buy it from Startoner
Before buying, check the seller listing for colour, bottle contents and current terms. If your printer shows an error or quality changes, record the message and contact support; refilling does not guarantee that every issue will disappear.
Under Startoner’s policy, its consumables carry three years of legal conformity coverage. This concerns the purchased consumable, not a promise about the printer manufacturer’s warranty. Check return eligibility in the policy and the applicable delivery time and cost at checkout. (returns and conformity policy).

How many pages does compatible Epson 103 ink print?
