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.
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. The printer ships with full cartridges
and part of the ink from this first set of cartridges is used for priming
the printer.
For best printing results, use up a cartridge within six months of
opening the package.

software, or setting selections. Check for additional
solutions or re-install your software.

print head.
❏ If the page does not print, the printer may have a
