One box, the whole six-colour reset: this set holds all six 279XL cartridges — T279XL120-S black, T279XL220-S cyan, T279XL320-S magenta, T279XL420-S yellow, T279XL520-S light cyan and T279XL620-S light magenta — every one of them high-capacity Claria Photo HD dye ink. Buying the six singles separately costs more; the set is priced below their sum, the way the LD ladder builds it. Note what is not in the box, because this family confuses people: there is no seventh cartridge and no separate photo black — code 120 is the only black the XP-980 takes.


Yields, stated per cartridge and never added together: black up to 500 pages; cyan, magenta, yellow, light cyan and light magenta up to 740 pages each (ISO/IEC 24711). Each cartridge carries a new compatible chip, and the honest note applies to the whole set: 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.
The set serves one printer — the Expression Photo XP-980 — and no 277-family model: the XP-960 takes different cartridges entirely. Every cartridge is covered individually by our lifetime warranty, with free returns for the first year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is in the box?
Six XL cartridges: 1 × T279XL120-S Black, 1 × T279XL220-S Cyan, 1 × T279XL320-S Magenta, 1 × T279XL420-S Yellow, 1 × T279XL520-S Light Cyan, 1 × T279XL620-S Light Magenta. The contents table is printed on the box front.
How many pages does the set print?
Per cartridge, never summed: black up to 500 pages; each of the five colours up to 740 (ISO/IEC 24711). Colours empty at different rates, so no single total is honest.
Are all six really XL?
Yes — this set is XL in every position, all six of them. That is its difference from Epson's own standard-capacity five-colour pack, which omits black entirely and is a genuine-Epson product, not this set.
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 six singles?
Yes — the set is priced at $89.91 against $98.94 for the six XL singles bought separately, following the LD ladder's own set discount.
Some cartridges are still half full. Install the set now?
You can install only what you need and store the rest sealed and upright. A set on the shelf is a spare kit, not an obligation to swap everything today.
Dye or pigment ink?
Dye — Claria Photo HD in all six positions, per Epson's specification for this family. There is no pigment black hiding in this set.
Does it fit the XP-960 I had before?
No. The XP-960 is a 277-family printer. This set is for its successor-class model, the XP-980, only — the family number on the box (279) is the check that matters.
Is this a genuine Epson set?
No — the Clever Supplies compatible 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 set is unaffected and stays in your printer.
Returns?
Free returns within the first year, alongside the lifetime warranty on every cartridge in the box.
