Thirteen cartridges is a stocking decision, not a refill. This bulk box holds three T279XL120-S blacks and two each of T279XL220-S cyan, T279XL320-S magenta, T279XL420-S yellow, T279XL520-S light cyan and T279XL620-S light magenta — the full 279XL family in Claria Photo HD dye ink, weighted the way real XP-980 use runs: black turns over fastest, and every colour is covered twice before you need to reorder.


Yields, stated per cartridge and never added together: each black up to 500 pages; each colour up to 740 pages (ISO/IEC 24711). Every cartridge carries a new compatible chip, and the honest note applies across the box: 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, and note that this family is released only after a chip pilot test on the XP-980 itself.
The set serves one printer — the Expression Photo XP-980 — and no other model; the XP-960 belongs to the 277 family and takes none of these. Every cartridge is covered individually by our lifetime warranty, with free returns for the first year, so a single problem cartridge never puts the whole box in question.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is in the box?
Thirteen XL cartridges: 3 × T279XL120-S Black, and 2 each of T279XL220-S Cyan, T279XL320-S Magenta, T279XL420-S Yellow, T279XL520-S Light Cyan and T279XL620-S Light Magenta. The contents table is printed on the box front.
Why three blacks and two of each colour?
That is the consumption shape of this printer: black serves both documents and photo contrast, so it turns over fastest, while the five colours drain more evenly. The mix follows the LD ladder's bulk build for this family.
How many pages does the set print?
Per cartridge, never summed: each black up to 500 pages; each colour up to 740 (ISO/IEC 24711). Thirteen cartridges empty at thirteen different moments, so no single total is honest.
Which printers does it fit?
One: the Expression Photo XP-980. It does not fit the XP-960 — that printer belongs to the 277 family — nor any other XP model.
What about the chips?
Each cartridge carries a new compatible chip. If your printer's firmware has been updated, recognition issues can occasionally occur; reseat the flagged cartridge and restart before contacting us — and if it persists, the lifetime warranty applies per cartridge.
Is it cheaper than buying singles?
Yes — $185.06 for thirteen cartridges against $214.37 bought as singles at $16.49 each, following the LD ladder's own bulk discount. The Set of 6 ($89.91) is the smaller step if you don't need shelf stock.
How should I store the spares?
Sealed, upright, at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. Install cartridges one at a time as slots empty; there is no benefit to swapping a cartridge that still has ink.
Are all thirteen really XL?
Yes — every position in this box is the high-capacity tier (black 500, colours 740 each). No standard-capacity cartridges are mixed in.
Dye or pigment ink?
Dye — Claria Photo HD in all six colours, per Epson's specification for this family.
Is this a genuine Epson set?
No — the Clever Supplies compatible bulk set, built to the six 279XL specifications and labelled compatible on the box and this page.
What if one cartridge in the set fails?
It is replaced on its own under the lifetime warranty. The rest of the box is unaffected.
Returns?
Free returns within the first year, alongside the lifetime warranty on every cartridge in the box.
