Caution:
❏Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink cartridges. Other products not manufactured by Epson may
cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s warranties, and under certain circumstances, may cause erratic
printer behavior.
❏Epson recommends using the ink cartridge before the date printed on the package.
Note:
❏The ink cartridges packaged with your printer are partly used during initial setup. In order to produce high quality
printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. This one-off process consumes a quantity of ink
and therefore these cartridges may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink cartridges.
❏Quoted yields may vary depending on the images that you are printing, the paper type that you are using, the frequency
of your prints and environmental conditions such as temperature.
❏To ensure you receive 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 for you do not include this reserve.
❏Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not affect product function or performance.
