Note: Epson
strongly recommends the use of genuine ink to ensure optimal print
quality and performance.
Ink Handling Precautions
- Keep ink
bottles and the ink tanks out of the reach of children. Do not
allow children to drink from or handle the ink bottles and bottle
caps.
- Do not tilt
or shake an ink bottle after opening it; otherwise, ink may
leak.
- If ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with
soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately
with water. If discomfort or vision problems persist, see a doctor
immediately. If ink gets into your mouth, spit it out and see a
doctor right away.
- Do not shake or squeeze the ink bottles.
- If ink spills, wipe it up immediately. To prevent
the ink from spreading, blot the spill with a dry cloth, then wipe
it with a damp cloth. The ink will be hard to remove once it has
dried.
Ink Refilling Precautions
- Use ink
bottles with the correct part number for this product.
- Epson's warranties do not extend to any damage
caused by the use of third-party ink or ink not designed for your
printer.
- 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.
- If the ink level is below the lower line on an ink
tank, refill the ink. Continued use of the product when the ink
level is below the lower line on an ink tank could damage the
product.
- 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.
- 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.
- Use the ink bottle before the date printed on the
package.
- After opening an ink bottle, Epson recommends using
it as soon as possible.
- Store ink bottles in a cool, dark place. Keep them
out of direct sunlight.
- Store the
ink bottles in the same environment as the product. When storing or
transporting an opened ink bottle, 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.
- Handle ink carefully. Ink may splatter when the ink
tanks are being filled or refilled with ink. If ink gets on your
clothes or belongings, it may not come off. If ink adheres to the
area around the tank, wipe it off using a lint-free, clean cloth or
cotton swab.
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. Ink may also be
consumed when the product is turned on.
- Part of the ink from the included bottles is used
for printer setup. You will notice ink levels in the tank decrease
during charging. This decrease is normal and does not affect the
stated in-box yields.
- Quoted ink yields may vary depending on the images
you are printing, the paper type you are using, how often you
print, and environmental conditions such as temperature.
- 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.
- A reserve amount of ink remains in the tank when
your product indicates that a refill is necessary.
