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.
