PAPER & INK

‡ The printer ships with start-up ink cartridges and part of the ink from the first cartridge is used for priming the printer. Yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use and temperature.

When an ink cartridge needs replacing, you cannot continue copying or printing even if the other cartridges do not need replacing.
Leave the cartridge that needs replacing installed in the printer until you have obtained a replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.
To ensure ongoing print quality and trouble free operation, a variable amount of ink remains in cartridge after the “Replace Cartridge” indicator comes on.

Warning to Epson printer owners. Many well known third party companies claim their inkjet printing papers are compatible with all Epson inkjet printers. Epson has reports from many customers who have used third party's paper and have been very disappointed with the results. When the same customers have changed to genuine Epson paper, they have been amazed and pleased with the colour and quality of their prints. Epson recommends that you do not use any non genuine printing papers if you want to get the best results from your Epson printer. Epson printers are very carefully tuned to ensure Epson inks and Epson's patented MicroPiezo^™ printhead produce the best quality prints using carefully selected Epson paper. 

All other brands of printing papers are not wholly compatible with the printer.
