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.
❏ The printer ships with full cartridges and part of the ink from this first set of cartridges is used for
charging the printer.
❏ 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.
❏ Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If cartridges have been exposed to cold temperatures,
allow them to warm up to room temperature for at least 3 hours before using them.
