About the ink cartridges
Ink cartridges store the ink and are connected to the printheads, which distribute the ink on the paper.
Your 24-inch printer comes with one 130 ml matte black ink cartridge and five 69 ml ink cartridges. Your
44-inch printer comes with six 130 ml ink cartridges. To purchase additional cartridges, see
Accessories on page 141.
CAUTION: Observe precautions when handling ink cartridges because they are ESD-sensitive
devices (see the
Glossary on page 203). Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry.
