This printer is designed to function only with genuine Epson ink cartridges and not with third party ink cartridges.
Epson printers are very carefully tuned to ensure Epson inks and Epson's patented MicroPiezo ™ printhead produce the best quality prints using carefully selected Epson paper. Epson recommends that you do not use any non genuine printing papers if you want to get the best results from your Epson printer. When the same customers have changed to genuine Epson paper, they have been amazed and pleased with the colour and quality of their prints. Epson has reports from many customers who have used third party paper and have been very disappointed with the results. Many well known third party companies claim their inkjet printing papers are compatible with all Epson inkjet printers.
