Introduction to ink supplies

What are Ink Supplies?

For each of the ink colors used in the printer, there are two components, the

Printhead and Ink C

artridge. These components are called Ink Supplies.

Ink Cartridges

Printheads

Ink Cartridges

The printer's six Ink Cartridges provide matte black, magenta, yeloow, cyan,

gray and

photo black ink to the Printheads. The color Ink Cartridges

supplied with the printer have a capacity of 69ml but optional 130 ml are

also available

All these Ink cartridges are physically the same size. Only

the internal capacity varies.

The Ink Cartridges for the T printer series require no maintenance or

clea

ning. As long as each Ink Cartridge is inserted correctly into its slot, the

ink will flow to the Printheads. Because the Printheads control the amount of

ink transferred to the page, you will continue to see high-quality printing

results even when the ink levels are getting low.
