Standard colour cartridges in a home printer vanish quickly — a standard 288 cyan is rated just 165 pages. This compatible T288XL220-S is the high-capacity cyan for the Epson 288 family: DURABrite Ultra pigment ink rated up to 450 pages (ISO/IEC 24711), nearly triple the standard tier.


All four 288 colours are pigment ink, so colour documents keep the DURABrite resistance to smudging and water once dry. The cartridge carries a new compatible chip, with the family's 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, and keep automatic firmware updates off where your model allows it. Sibling codes: T288XL120-S black (500 pages), T288XL320-S magenta and T288XL420-S yellow (450 pages each).
Fits all six verified 288-family printers — XP-330, XP-340, XP-430, XP-434, XP-440 and XP-446. Replace only the colour that is low. Covered by our lifetime warranty, with free returns for the first year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What yield does the T288XL220 carry?
Up to 450 pages (ISO/IEC 24711) — against 165 pages for the standard-capacity cyan (T288220-S).
Which printers use it?
XP-330, XP-340, XP-430, XP-434, XP-440 and XP-446 — the full verified 288 roster.
Pigment or dye?
Pigment. The whole 288 family uses DURABrite Ultra pigment ink, cyan included.
What should I know about the chip?
It carries 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 before judging it faulty, and consider disabling automatic firmware updates on the printer.
Can I replace cyan alone?
Yes — four individual cartridges, four independent slots. Swap only what is low.
Will it sit beside a standard-capacity yellow?
Yes, tiers mix freely slot by slot.
Is the XP-435 a fit? I saw it listed elsewhere.
No. The XP-435 is a regional variant that does not appear in Epson's US compatibility list for this family; the US roster is the six models named on this page.
Millilitre volume?
Not published by Epson for this family in US documentation, so our Volume field stays blank. Compare on ISO yield: 450 pages.
Is it genuine Epson?
No — a Clever Supplies compatible, labelled compatible on the box and this page.
Warranty and returns?
Lifetime warranty on performance; free returns within the first year.
Why is cyan the same price as black here?
In this family's ladder all four XL singles share one price tier, unlike families where black sits higher.
When is the Set of 4 the better buy?
When two or more colours are low together — the all-XL Set of 4 costs less than the four singles combined.
