Cartridge Epson Ultrachrome Pro6 Ink C13T48U400 Black

The Epson Ultrachrome Pro6 Ink C13T48U400 is an aqueous, all-pigment black cartridge formulated for professional photo and fine-art printing. The PRO6 formulation includes an additional gray and separate photo and matte blacks to support accurate colour rendering, enhanced tonal expression in black-and-white output, and reliable performance across a wide range of media. Prints dry nearly immediately and are produced with a finish that resists scratching and moisture, while the pigment construction offers predictable, consistent colour and long-term durability.

Advantages

All-pigment formulation provides high image stability and resistance to fading. The inclusion of a dedicated gray improves tonal transitions and B&W gradients. Separate photo and matte blacks enable optimal output on both glossy and matte media. Prints exit with low surface moisture and a scratch- and water-resistant finish, supporting archival quality and handling.

How to use

Install the cartridge according to your Epson printer's user manual, ensuring the printer is powered on and the cartridge bay is accessible. Allow the printer to recognise the new cartridge and perform any automatic priming or nozzle checks. Use appropriate media settings in the printer driver to match the paper type and desired black mode (photo or matte) to achieve accurate tonal reproduction.

Recommendations

Store cartridges in a cool, dry place and use opened cartridges within the timeframe recommended by Epson. For consistent results, perform regular nozzle checks and head cleanings as indicated by the printer. Select the corresponding paper profile and black mode in the printer driver for optimal output on each media type.
