Caution: This product requires careful handling of ink. If ink spills, wipe it off
immediately with a damp towel to avoid permanent stains. If ink gets on your clothes
or belongings, it may not come off.
Note:
• Epson cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of third-party ink.

compared with replacement ink bottles.

below the lowest line on the tank. Prolonged use when ink is below the lowest
line could damage the product. See the online User's Guide for refilling
instructions.

cap. Place the remaining ink aside; you will need it later.

damaged or ink may leak.
