Caution:
  • Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson PictureMate PicturePack. Other products not manufactured by Epson may cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s warranties, and under certain circumstances, may cause erratic printer behavior.

  • Do not use a photo cartridge if the date on the package has expired.

  • Do not refill the photo cartridge. Other products not manufactured by Epson may cause damage that is not covered by Epson's warranties, and under certain circumstances, may cause erratic printer behavior.


Note:

The photo cartridge packaged with your printer is partly used during initial setup. In order to produce high quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. This one-off process consumes a quantity of ink and subsequent cartridges set will last for their full rated life.
