Ink Cartridges

*

The print capacity may vary depending on how often you use the 
print head cleaning function. Also, if you print large graphics and 
dense text with little white space, you use ink faster.

** The ink thaws and is usable after approximately 3 hours at 77 °F 

(25 °C).

Caution:
To ensure good results, use genuine EPSON cartridges and do not 
refill them. Other products may cause damage to your printer not 
covered by EPSON’s warranty. Do not use an ink cartridge after the 
expiration date on the package.
