For a WorkForce printer, black is the cartridge that does the heavy lifting — invoices, contracts, shipping labels, school paperwork. This compatible T252XL120-S is the high-capacity black for the Epson 252 family: DURABrite Ultra pigment ink rated up to 1,100 pages (ISO/IEC 24711), more than three times the standard 252 black's 350 pages, so document-heavy weeks stop interrupting themselves for cartridge swaps.
Pigment ink is the point of the DURABrite line: output that resists smudging, water splashes and highlighter passes once dry. The cartridge carries a new compatible chip for ink-level reporting. Honest note: this cartridge carries a new compatible chip. If your printer's firmware has been updated, recognition issues can occasionally occur — reseat the cartridge firmly and restart the printer before assuming the cartridge is at fault. Its sibling colours are T252XL220-S cyan, T252XL320-S magenta and T252XL420-S yellow, each also rated up to 1,100 pages.
It fits all eight verified 252-family printers — WF-3620, WF-3640, WF-7110, WF-7210, WF-7610, WF-7620, WF-7710 and WF-7720 — in both the standard and XL tiers those printers accept. One boundary matters on the wide-format models: the 254XL extra-high-capacity black is a separate cartridge for part of this range, not this product. Covered by our lifetime warranty, with free returns for the first year.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pages does the T252XL120 print?
Up to 1,100 pages, Epson's published ISO/IEC 24711 rating for this cartridge code. Text-heavy document work tracks that rating most closely; heavy coverage lowers it.
How does it compare with the standard 252 black?
The standard T252120-S black is rated 350 pages; this XL is rated 1,100. Same DURABrite Ultra pigment ink, same fit — only the capacity differs.
Which printers take this cartridge?
All eight verified 252 models: WF-3620, WF-3640, WF-7110, WF-7210, WF-7610, WF-7620, WF-7710 and WF-7720.
Is the ink pigment or dye?
Pigment — DURABrite Ultra, in all four 252 colours. That is what gives documents their smudge, fade and water resistance.
Does it carry a chip?
Yes, 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; reseating and restarting usually clears a false warning.
My printer flags the cartridge after a firmware update. What should I try first?
Power off, remove the cartridge, check the chip contacts are clean and dry, reseat until it clicks, and power back on. If the warning persists, contact us — the lifetime warranty covers a cartridge that will not perform.
Is this the 254XL extra-high-capacity black?
No. The 254XL (T254XL120-S, 2,200 pages) is a separate black-only cartridge for part of the wide-format range. This product is the 252XL black, rated 1,100 pages, and fits all eight models on this page.
Can I run this XL black alongside standard-capacity colours?
Yes. Each slot is independent, so XL and standard cartridges mix freely in the same printer.
How much ink is inside, in millilitres?
We do not publish a figure: Epson's US documentation for this family does not state a millilitre volume, so the Volume field is left blank rather than filled with a reseller claim. The verifiable figure is the 1,100-page ISO yield.
Is this a genuine Epson cartridge?
No — it is a Clever Supplies compatible built to the T252XL120-S specification and labelled compatible on the box and on this page. It is not manufactured by Epson.
What does the lifetime warranty cover?
A cartridge that fails to perform — not recognised after troubleshooting, leaking, or printing poorly from new — is replaced under the lifetime warranty. Free returns apply within the first year.
Single, Set of 4, or Set of 9 — which suits me?
The single when only black is low. The Set of 4 resets all four colours at XL capacity, and the bulk Set of 9 (three blacks) suits offices that burn through black fastest.
