Checking the Ink Cartridge Status
19
Tip:
If a cartridge is more than six months old, print quality may decline. If necessary, try
cleaning the print head (see page 17). If printouts still do not look their best, you may
need to replace the cartridge.
You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper at Epson Supplies Central at
www.epson.com/ink3
(U.S. sales) or
www.epson.ca
(Canadian sales). You can
also purchase supplies from an Epson authorized reseller. To find the nearest one,
call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766).
Use the following list when you order or purchase new ink cartridges:
Note:
The 78 Standard-capacity ink cartridges and the 77 High-capacity color multipack are
available online and from Epson authorized resellers. The 77 High-capacity individual ink
cartridges are available only online.
We recommend that you use genuine Epson cartridges and do not refill them. The use
of other products may affect your print quality and could result in printer damage.
The printer ships with full cartridges and part of the ink from this first set of cartridges is
used for priming the printer.
Yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency
of use, and temperature. For print quality, a small amount of ink remains in the cartridge
after the “replace cartridge” indicator comes on.
For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of opening the package
and before the expiration date on the cartridge box.
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If cartridges have been exposed to cold
temperatures, allow them to warm up to room temperature for at least 3 hours before
using them.
