How to use

Unpack the replacement XL black cartridge and remove any protective tape or packaging without touching the electrical contacts or print nozzle. Insert the cartridge into the correct slot until it clicks into place, then close the access cover. Allow the printer to initialize the cartridge; run a nozzle check or alignment from the printer menu if print quality adjustments are needed.

Recommendations

Store unused cartridges in a cool, dry place and use them before the manufacturer’s suggested period to maintain ink performance. For best results, perform occasional nozzle checks and alignments, and use genuine Epson cartridges to ensure compatibility and consistent print quality.
