90 Maintaining Your Printer
When an installed cartridge is more than six months old, you may need to replace it
if printouts don’t look their best. If the quality doesn’t improve after cleaning and aligning the
print head, you can replace the cartridge even if the
b error light is off.
Use these EPSON ink cartridges within six months of installing them and before the
expiration date on the package:
* The figure given is based on continuous printing after ink replacement. Cartridge yields will vary
with images printed, print settings, paper types, and frequency of use.

(800) 873-7766, or visit www.epsonstore.com (U.S. sales only). In Canada, please call
