Specifications are subject to change without notice.
Cartridge yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use and temperature.
For print quality, a variable amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the “replace cartridge” indicator comes on.
The printer(s) ships with ink cartridges and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the printer.
All stated cartridge volumes are fill volumes.
See www.epson.com/cartridgeinfo for more information about ink cartridges.
