Yes, this is an original Epson T1801 (C13T18014010) OEM ink cartridge.

Standard Yield indicates a typical amount of ink designed for average daily use. It is not the high-yield (XL) version, meaning it may contain less ink and print fewer pages than an XL cartridge.

This cartridge is compatible with several Epson XP series models, including XP-30, XP-102, XP-202, XP-205, XP-302, XP-305, XP-402, and XP-405.

The product details state an estimated yield of 175 pages, based on ISO/IEC 24711 standard tests.

Yes, this is a single black ink cartridge. You will need separate color cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow) to print in full color.

Store unused cartridges in their original, sealed packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Ensure the cartridge is correctly installed and fully seated. Re-open the access door, remove the cartridge, and re-insert it firmly. Check for any protective seals that may have been missed during installation. If the issue persists, try cleaning the cartridge contacts gently with a lint-free cloth.

Perform a print head cleaning cycle through your printer's maintenance settings. If the problem persists after cleaning, you may need to run an ink nozzle check. Ensure the correct paper type is selected in your print settings. For consistently poor results, the cartridge may be faulty or nearing empty.

This can sometimes occur due to the initial estimation by the printer. Print a few test pages to see if the actual print quality improves. If print quality remains poor, the cartridge may be defective.
