- Notices
• The use of non-Epson ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s warranty, and under
certain circumstances, may cause erratic product behavior.
• This product requires careful handling of ink. Ink may splatter when the ink tanks are filled or refilled
with ink. If ink gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.
• Do not open the ink bottle package until you are ready to fill an ink tank. Ink bottles are vacuum
packed to maintain reliability. If you leave an ink bottle unpacked for a long time before using it, print
quality may be affected.
• Visually check the ink levels in the product ’s ink tanks to confirm the actual ink levels. Continued use
of the product when the ink is expended could damage the product.
• Epson recommends filling an ink tank to the upper line before resetting the ink level.
• For optimum printing results, refill the ink tanks to the upper line at least once a year.
• After bringing an ink bottle inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for
at least three hours before using it.
• Store ink bottles in a cool, dark place.
• Store the ink bottles in the same environment as the product. When storing or transporting an ink
bottle after removing its seal, do not tilt the bottle and do not subject it to impacts or temperature
changes. Otherwise, ink may leak even if the cap on the ink bottle is tightened securely. Be sure to
keep the ink bottle upright when tightening the cap, and take measures to prevent ink from leaking
when you transport the bottle.
Ink Bottle and Ink Tank Information
• To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks during printing
and when performing maintenance operations, such as cleaning the print head.
• The ink bottles may contain recycled materials, but this does not affect product function or
performance.
• When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color ink may be used instead of black ink, depending on
the paper type or print quality settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
