Frequently Asked Questions

What is the yield of the T202XL220?

Up to 470 pages, Epson's published XL colour rating on the ISO/IEC 24711 pattern. The standard-capacity cyan (T202220-S) is rated 165 pages — the XL holds close to three standard cartridges of colour work.

Dye or pigment ink?

Dye. In the 202 Claria system the three colours are dye-based for smooth colour blending; only the black position is pigment. If a listing calls the colours pigment, it is describing a different Epson line.

Which printers does this cyan fit?

The Expression Home XP-5100 and the WorkForce WF-2860 — the complete US 202 platform. It fits no EcoTank, no other XP or WF model, and not the European XP-5105 or WF-2865, which use region-coded Kiwi cartridges.

Will the printer recognise it?

It carries a new compatible chip that reports ink levels. This cartridge carries a new compatible chip. If your printer's firmware has been updated, recognition issues can occasionally occur; seat it until it clicks and restart the printer before assuming a fault.

Can I replace just the cyan?

Yes — that is the point of individual cartridges. Replace only the expended colour; the printer keeps the other three slots as they are, and XL and standard cartridges can be mixed by position.

My prints look too red or pink. Is cyan the problem?

Often, yes: a fading or empty cyan shifts colour balance toward red and magenta. Run a nozzle check first — if the cyan pattern is complete but colours still lean red, the cyan cartridge is running dry rather than clogged.

What if a firmware update preceded a recognition warning?

That sequence is documented on this platform: Epson updates have rejected third-party chips before. Reseat the cartridge, restart, and if the warning persists contact us — the lifetime warranty covers a cartridge that will not recognise.

Is a millilitre volume published?

No. Epson's US sources give no mL figure for the 202 family, so our Volume field is deliberately blank. Judge the cartridge by its verified ISO yield: 470 pages.

Is it genuine Epson?

No. It is a Clever Supplies compatible built to the T202XL220-S specification, labelled compatible on the box and on this page, and not manufactured by Epson.

How does the warranty work for a single colour?

Per cartridge: a cyan that leaks, prints poorly from new, or will not recognise after troubleshooting is replaced on its own under the lifetime warranty. Free returns apply in the first year.

Cyan single or the Set of 4?

The single when only cyan is down. When two or more colours are low together, the all-XL Set of 4 (black plus the three colours) is priced below the four singles — the ladder's set discount.

Any storage advice for a spare cyan?

Keep it sealed and upright at room temperature, out of sunlight, and install it promptly when the old colour comes out. Do not remove the tape until install day.
