Consumables and Accessories

Ink Cartridges

The printer’s first ink cartridges determine the type of ink the
printer uses for the lifetime of the unit:

❏ Photographic Dye ink

❏ Archival ink

❏ UltraChrome ink

Be sure to replace the cartridges with the same type as are
already installed, or you will see an error message and the
printer won’t work until you insert the correct cartridges.

If the printer uses UltraChrome ink, the user must decide
which type of black ink to install during initial setup (Matte
Black or Photo Black). Once installed, the user can switch
between black inks only by following the special procedure
described on page 11.

Use the cartridges listed below before the expiration date on
the package.

❏ Photographic Dye users:

Black T499201 Light cyan T504201

Cyan T502201 Light magenta T503201

Magenta T501201 Yellow T500201

❏ Archival ink users:

Black T511201 Light cyan T516201

Cyan T514201 Light magenta T515201

Magenta T513201 Yellow T512201

❏ UltraChrome ink users: *

Photo Black T549100 Light cyan T549500

Matte Black T549800 Light magenta T549600

Cyan T549200 Yellow T549400

Magenta T549300

* Your UltraChrome printer uses one of two black ink cartridges (Matte

Black or Photo Black). Unless you are switching between black ink
types (see page 11), use the same type as is currently installed. If you
install an incorrect cartridge, you will see an error message.
