FAQs

Is this cartridge compatible with all Epson printers?

No, it is specifically designed for the Epson Stylus Pro 7700, 7890, 7900, 9700, 9890, and 9900 series.

Does this cartridge damage the print head?

The cartridges are tested during manufacturing to ensure compatibility and should not harm the print head when used according to instructions.

How do I store the ink cartridge?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep the packaging sealed until you are ready to use it.

Will my printer software track ink levels?

Most models will track ink levels, though occasionally third-party chips may behave differently than OEM chips.

Can I mix this with original Epson ink?

It is generally recommended to use the same brand of ink within a single print job, but the cartridge is designed to work within the existing ink delivery system.

Troubleshooting

Printer does not recognize the cartridge

Remove the cartridge and check the gold contact chip for debris. Reinsert firmly until it clicks.

Streaking or gaps in print output

Run the printer's built-in 'Nozzle Check' and 'Head Cleaning' utility cycle to clear air bubbles or dried ink.

Printer displays a 'Non-Genuine' warning

Select 'OK' or 'Proceed' on the printer control panel to bypass the message; the cartridge will continue to function normally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Alpa-Cartridge T5961 follows standard Epson procedures: open the ink bay, remove the empty cartridge, and slide the new unit into the appropriate slot until it clicks. Ensure the printer is powered on during installation so the system can recognize the new chip. To maintain print longevity, keep your printer in an area free of excessive dust and moisture. If the printer will be idle for more than a week, perform a periodic head cleaning to prevent the ink from settling or drying in the lines. This cartridge is explicitly compatible with the following series: 7700, 7890, 7900, 9700, 9890, and 9900.
