Note:
❏We recommend that you use genuine Epson cartridges and do not refill them. The use of other products may affect your print quality and could result in printer damage.
❏The printer ships with full cartridges and part of the ink from this first set of cartridges is used for charging the printer.
❏Yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use and temperature. For print quality, a small amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the "replace cartridge" indicator comes on.
❏Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. If cartridges have been exposed to cold temperatures, allow them to warm up to room temperature for at least 3 hours before using them.
Handling PrecautionsRead all of the instructions in this section before replacing the ink cartridges.
