Colour documents are where the standard 252 tier runs short — a standard cyan is rated just 300 pages. This compatible T252XL220-S is the high-capacity cyan for the Epson 252 family: DURABrite Ultra pigment ink rated up to 1,100 pages (ISO/IEC 24711), the same rating as the XL black, so colour-heavy reports, charts and handouts stop draining the colour slots three times faster than the black.


All four 252 colours are pigment ink, so this cyan keeps the DURABrite behaviour — resistant to smudging, fading and water once dry — rather than the dye behaviour of photo lines. 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 and restart first if a warning appears. Sibling codes: T252XL120-S black, T252XL320-S magenta and T252XL420-S yellow.
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. Replace only the colour that is low; the other slots are untouched. Covered by our lifetime warranty, with free returns for the first year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What yield does the T252XL220 carry?
Up to 1,100 pages per Epson's ISO/IEC 24711 rating for this code — against 300 pages for the standard-capacity cyan (T252220-S).
Why is the XL colour rated the same as the XL black here?
That is Epson's own rating shape for the 252XL tier: 1,100 pages for black and for each colour. The standard tier is lower and uneven — 350 black, 300 per colour.
Which printers use it?
The eight verified 252 models: WF-3620, WF-3640, WF-7110, WF-7210, WF-7610, WF-7620, WF-7710 and WF-7720.
Pigment or dye?
Pigment. The whole 252 family uses DURABrite Ultra pigment ink, cyan included — documents first, with smudge and water resistance once dry.
Does this cartridge have a chip?
Yes — a new compatible chip. This cartridge carries a new compatible chip. If your printer's firmware has been updated, recognition issues can occasionally occur; reseat the cartridge and restart the printer before judging it faulty.
Can I replace cyan alone, mid-set?
Yes. The 252 family is four individual cartridges; each slot is replaced independently whenever its colour runs low.
Will it mix with a standard-capacity magenta I already have?
Yes — capacities mix freely slot by slot. Nothing requires all four cartridges to be the same tier.
Is the colour a match for charts and presentations?
It is DURABrite Ultra pigment cyan built to the T252XL220-S specification — the business-colour role this family was designed for. For gallery photo printing, Epson's Claria photo lines are a different family.
Why is there no millilitre figure?
Epson's US documentation does not publish an mL volume for this family, so we leave Volume blank instead of repeating a reseller number. Judge the cartridge by its ISO page yield: 1,100 pages.
Is it genuine Epson?
No. It is a Clever Supplies compatible, labelled compatible on the box and this page, and not manufactured by Epson.
What if it leaks or prints weakly from new?
That is a warranty case: a cartridge that fails to perform is replaced under the lifetime warranty, and free returns apply within the first year.
When does the Set of 4 beat this single?
When two or more colours are low together — the all-XL Set of 4 is priced below the four XL singles combined.
