About the ink cartridges
Ink cartridges store the ink and are connected to the printheads, which distribute the ink on the paper.
The 24 inch printers come with twelve 69 ml introductory cartridges. The 44 inch printers come with
twelve 130 ml cartridges. You can purchase 130 ml ink cartridges for both printers, see
Accessories
on page 105.
CAUTION Observe precautions when handling ink cartridges because they are ESD-sensitive
devices (see the
Glossary on page 171). Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry.
