FAQs

Can I use this ink on glossy paper?

This ink is formulated as Matte Black. While it may print on glossy media, it is specifically optimized for matte-finish papers and may not provide the desired finish on high-gloss stock.

Is this a genuine Epson product?

How long will the ink last once installed?

How should I store unused cartridges?

Store them in an upright position at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.

What is the primary benefit of the HDX/HD ink?

The UltraChrome HDX/HD ink provides a wider color gamut, improved black density, and superior archival durability compared to standard inks.

Troubleshooting

Printer does not recognize the cartridge

Remove the cartridge and check for any debris on the contact chip. Reinsert it firmly to ensure a clean connection.

Lines or gaps in print output

Perform a print head cleaning cycle from the printer's utility menu to clear any air bubbles or minor obstructions in the nozzle.
