Refilling Ink

When the ink level is below the lower line on an ink tank, you need to refill it.
Before checking the ink level or refilling an ink tank as described here, be sure to read the ink safety precautions.
Caution: If the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank, fill it to the upper line on the ink tank. Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on the tank could damage the product.
Ink Safety Precautions Check Ink Levels Purchase Epson Ink Refilling the Ink Tanks

Ink Safety Precautions

Ink Handling Precautions
• Keep ink bottles and the ink tank unit out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to drink from or
handle the ink bottles and bottle caps.
• Do not tilt or shake an ink bottle after opening it; otherwise, ink may leak.
• If ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them
immediately with water. If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out immediately. Seek medical advice if problems persist.
Ink Refilling Precautions
• Use ink bottles with the correct part number for this product.
• Do not mix with other Epson ink types.
• The use of non-Epson ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s warranty, and under
certain circumstances, may cause erratic product behavior.
• This product requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are filled or refilled
with ink. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.
80
• Do not open the ink bottle package until you are ready to fill an ink tank. Ink bottles are vacuum
packed to maintain reliability. If you leave an ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, print quality may be affected.
• If the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank, refill the ink. Continued use of the product when
the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank could damage the product.
• After bringing an ink bottle inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for
at least three hours before using it.
• Store ink bottles in a cool, dark place.
• Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the product. When storing or transporting an opened
ink bottle, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or temperature changes. Otherwise, ink may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to keep the ink bottle upright when tightening the cap, and take measures to prevent ink from leaking when you transport the bottle.
Ink Bottle and Ink Tank Information
• To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks during printing
and when performing maintenance operations, such as cleaning the print head.
• The ink bottles may contain recycled materials, but this does not affect product function or
performance.
• When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color ink may be used instead of black ink, depending on
the paper type or print quality settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
Parent topic: Refilling Ink

Check Ink Levels

To confirm the actual ink remaining, visually check the ink levels in the product’s ink tanks. Make sure the ink levels are above the lower lines on the ink tanks.
81
Caution: If the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank, fill it to the upper line on the ink tank.
Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on the tank could damage the product.

Purchase Epson Ink

You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper at epson.com (U.S. sales) or 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) in the U.S. or 800-807-7766 in Canada.
Note: This product is designed to work with genuine Epson inks. Non-Epson ink or any other ink not specified for this printer could cause damage not covered by Epson's warranties.
The included initial ink bottles must be used for printer setup and are not for resale. The printer ships with full ink bottles and part of the ink from the first bottles is used to charge the print head. Yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use and temperature.

Refilling the Ink Tanks

Make sure you have new ink bottles handy and have read the ink safety precautions before you begin.
Caution: Wear disposable gloves while refilling the ink tanks to avoid staining your hands. If ink spills, wipe it off immediately with a damp towel to avoid permanent stains. If ink gets on your clothes or other items, it may not come off.
1. Place a sheet of paper or plastic under the ink tank unit, as ink may splatter.
84
2. Open the ink tank unit cover, then remove the ink tank cap and place it in the holder shown here.
Note: Make sure the color of the ink tank label matches the ink color you want to refill, and only remove the cap from that ink tank. Be careful not to spill any ink.
85
3. Unscrew the cap on the bottle and remove it. Do not dispose of the cap so you can use it to close the bottle later, if necessary. Then remove the bottle cap and carefully remove the protective seal (avoid touching the ink underneath the seal). Close the bottle cap tightly.
Caution: Close the bottle cap tightly; otherwise, ink may leak.
Warning: If ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes,
flush them immediately with water. If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out immediately. Seek medical advice if problems persist. Keep the ink bottles out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.
4. Refill the ink tank with the correct color ink up to the upper line on the ink tank.
5. If any ink remains in the ink bottle after filling the ink tank, replace the bottle cap and tighten it securely. Store the ink bottle upright for later use.
86
6. Replace the ink tank cap securely.
7. Repeat the previous steps as necessary for each ink tank you need to refill.
8. Close the ink tank unit cover.

If your printouts become too light, or you see dark or light bands across them, you may need to clean the print head nozzles. Cleaning uses ink, so clean the nozzles only if print quality declines.
You can check for clogged nozzles before you clean them so you don’t clean them unnecessarily.
Note: You may not be able to clean the print head when the ink level in any of the tanks is low. You may have to refill the ink tank first.
