Frequently Asked Questions

Which printers does the T079220 fit?

The Epson Stylus Photo 1400 and the Epson Artisan 1430 — the only two printers Epson documents for the T079 code set. If your printer is a different six-ink model, it belongs to a different cartridge family.

How many pages will I get?

Up to 810 pages on Epson's published rating for the genuine cartridge. Photographs cover far more of the page than the rating pattern, so photo yield will be lower in practice — the rating is the honest comparison figure between cartridges.

What is the difference between this cyan and the light cyan?

Both are cyan dye ink; the light cyan (T079520-S) is a paler tint used in small amounts to smooth highlights and skin-adjacent tones, while this full-strength cyan does the main gradient work. They sit in separate slots and are not interchangeable.

Is this standard or high capacity?

High capacity — the only tier the 79 family exists in. Epson's support listings describe all six T079 codes as High Capacity; there is no standard 79 cyan.

Will my printer recognise this cartridge?

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 firmly and restart the printer first. A cartridge that still refuses is replaced under the lifetime warranty — we do not claim recognition is guaranteed in every case.

What ink is inside?

Claria Hi-Definition dye ink, Epson's six-colour photographic dye system for this printer generation.

My prints have a blue-green cast. Is the cyan at fault?

Not usually on its own — a cast more often means one position is empty or a nozzle check shows a gap. Run the printer's nozzle check first; if the cyan pattern is clean, look at the colour settings before replacing a healthy cartridge.

Can I run the printer with the cyan slot empty while I wait for delivery?

No. These printers stop when any cartridge is expended or removed, so keep a spare or order the Set of 6 before the last position runs dry.

How should I store a spare?

Sealed in its pack, upright, at room temperature and out of direct sunlight; open it only on install day.

Is it a genuine Epson cartridge?

No. It is a Clever Supplies compatible built to the T079220-S specification and labelled compatible on the box and this page; Epson did not manufacture it.

How much ink is in it, in millilitres?

We do not publish a figure — Epson's documentation gives no verified millilitre value for this family, so the Volume field stays blank instead of repeating a reseller's number. The 810-page published yield is the comparable figure.

What cover do I get?

Lifetime warranty: a cartridge that fails to perform is replaced. Free returns run for the first year.
