Note:
❏ The ink cartridges packaged with your printer are partly used during initial setup
to make sure the print head is fully charged with ink. This one-time process
consumes more ink, subsequent cartridges will last for their full rated life.
❏ Quoted yields may vary depending on the images you are printing, the paper type
you are using, the frequency of your prints and environmental conditions such as
temperature.
❏ To ensure premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink
safety reserve remains in the cartridge when your printer indicates to replace the
cartridge. The yields quoted do not include this reserve.
❏ Ink is consumed during the following operations: print head cleaning and ink
charging when an ink cartridge is installed.
❏ To maintain print quality, Epson recommends printing a few pages on a regular
basis.
