Ink Cartridges

Note: 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 charging 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 “replacement cartridge” indicator comes on.
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If you bring them inside from out in the cold, allow them to warm up to room temperature for at least 3 hours before using them.
Leave your old cartridges in the CX8400 Series until you are ready to replace them to prevent the print head nozzles from drying out.
For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of opening the package.
