Caution:
To ensure good results, use genuine Epson ink cartridges and do not refill them. Other products may cause damage to your printer not covered by Epson’s warranty.

Do not use an ink cartridge if the date on the package has expired.
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-time process consumes a quantity of ink and subsequent cartridge sets will last for their full rated life.
