Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is in the box?

Six cartridges, one of each colour in the Claria system: T078120 Black, T078220 Cyan, T078320 Magenta, T078420 Yellow, T078520 Light Cyan and T078620 Light Magenta. The contents table is printed on the box front.

How many pages will I get from it?

Honest answer: Epson does not publish an official per-cartridge yield table for the 78/77 family — its fact sheet gives no yield figures — so we do not print a page number for this cartridge, here or in the specifications. Photo yield depends heavily on image coverage in any case. Third-party listings quote figures for these codes, but they are seller claims, not Epson ratings, and we will not present them as specifications.

Which printers does it fit?

All seven officially verified models for this family: Artisan 50, Stylus Photo R260, Stylus Photo R280, Stylus Photo R380, Stylus Photo RX580, Stylus Photo RX595, Stylus Photo RX680. The list comes from Epson America's own Claria 78/77 fact sheet (CPD-32251) and Epson's support documentation.

Is this the high-capacity 77 set?

No — this is the 78 standard-capacity set. The 77 tier (T077120–T077620, and Epson's T077920 colour pack) is the high-capacity sibling family for the same printers. The tiers can be mixed by position, but this box is entirely 78 cartridges.

Will this cartridge be recognised by my printer?

This cartridge carries a new compatible chip. Recognition ('cannot recognize') errors are a known failure mode in this cartridge class, so seat the cartridge firmly until it clicks and restart the printer before assuming a fault. These printers have been out of production for years, so new firmware locks are unlikely — the realistic risk is chip quality, and a cartridge that will not recognise is covered by our lifetime warranty. We do not claim recognition is guaranteed in every case.

Do I have to install all six at once?

No. Install the positions that are expended and keep the rest sealed as spares. Most owners refresh the whole set when colours start failing in sequence — it ends the one-at-a-time stoppages.

Can the printer run with one colour empty?

No. Epson's support answers for these models are explicit: the printer will not operate if any cartridge is expended or removed. That is why the six colours are sold as singles — one empty position is all it takes to stop the machine.

What ink is inside?

Claria Hi-Definition dye ink — Epson's six-colour photographic dye system for this printer generation. Dye ink is what gives these Stylus Photo and Artisan models their smooth photo gradations; it is a photo ink, not a pigment document ink.

Does changing ink affect CD/DVD printing?

No — the R260, R280, R380 and the RX all-in-ones print to ink-jet printable discs with the same six cartridges; there is no separate disc ink. Use ink-jet printable media and let a printed disc dry before handling it.

How do I install it?

Have the new cartridge ready before you remove the old one — these printers should not sit with a slot empty. Remove only the yellow tape, do not touch the green chip, press the cartridge into its colour holder until it clicks, close the cover and let the printer charge the ink.

Is this a genuine Epson cartridge?

No — it is a Clever Supplies compatible cartridge built to the genuine cartridge's specification and code, labelled compatible on the box and on this page. It is not manufactured by Epson.

What warranty and returns cover this cartridge?

A lifetime warranty: a cartridge that fails to perform is replaced. Free returns run for the first year. (Returns note: the 1-year returns period is our standing compatible-product policy, applied to inkjet as an assumption pending Emrah's inkjet-specific confirmation.)
