Cartridge Epson Ultrachrome Pro 12 Ink C13T44QD40 Color

The Epson Ultrachrome Pro 12 Ink cartridge C13T44QD40 Color is an original pigment ink designed for professional and commercial print production. Based on Epson's K3 and HDR technologies, this aqueous, all-pigment formulation delivers an extended colour gamut, high colour accuracy and archival-level image stability. The ink dries quickly to produce water- and scratch-resistant prints and includes Vivid Magenta, Light and Dark Grey, improved Matte and Photo Blacks, a more durable Yellow and an added Violet tone for expanded gamut and near-comprehensive Pantone coverage.

Advantages

The Ultrachrome Pro 12 ink provides a wide colour gamut and improved colour accuracy for photographic and fine-art prints. Fast-drying pigment formulation increases water and scratch resistance while delivering stable, long-lasting images suitable for gallery display or professional client work. Enhanced Matte and Photo Blacks raise maximum density for richer dark tones and better tonal range in both monochrome and colour output. The addition of Violet and refined Yellow improves colour matching and increases resistance to UV fading.

How to use

Install the cartridge in a compatible Epson printer following the printer manufacturer's cartridge replacement instructions. Use up-to-date printer drivers and ICC profiles tailored to the Ultrachrome Pro 12 ink set and the paper type selected for best colour accuracy. Allow freshly printed sheets to dry fully before stacking or framing to prevent contact marking. For multi-cartridge printers, run periodic nozzle checks and head cleaning cycles as recommended by the printer to maintain consistent output.

Recommendations

For archival results and accurate colour reproduction, pair this ink with high-quality, pigment-compatible photo or fine-art papers and create or download ICC profiles specific to your printer model and media. Store unopened cartridges in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and install within the printer before the cartridge expiry or recommended use period. Perform regular maintenance cycles and avoid prolonged inactivity to reduce the risk of nozzle clogging.
