No, it is specifically designed for the Epson Stylus Photo R800 and R1800 models only.
The cartridge provides a page yield of approximately 570 pages based on standard ISO testing.
In most regions, using compatible cartridges does not void a warranty, but it is recommended to check your local consumer laws and manufacturer terms.
This cartridge contains 20ml of ink, which is formulated to be comparable to standard OEM yields for this printer series.
Ensure your printer driver settings match the paper type being used. You may need to adjust color profiles in your software for optimal results.
Remove the cartridge, ensure the protective film has been fully removed from the chip, and re-insert it firmly.
Run the printer's built-in 'Nozzle Check' and 'Head Cleaning' utility to clear potential air gaps.
This is common with third-party cartridges; simply click 'Continue' or 'OK' on your computer screen to bypass the message.
To install, power on your printer and lift the lid to access the cartridge carriage. Remove the depleted cartridge and snap the Alpa-Cartridge into place until it clicks. Compatibility is strictly limited to the Epson Stylus Photo R800 and R1800 models. To maintain print longevity, avoid leaving the printer idle for extended periods, as this can lead to ink drying in the nozzles. If the printer is not used frequently, perform a head cleaning cycle once every two weeks to keep the ink flowing smoothly.
