Frequently Asked Questions

What ink is inside the T079320?

Claria Hi-Definition dye ink — the photographic dye system Epson built this six-cartridge generation around. Dye ink is what produces the smooth tonal steps these printers are known for.

How many pages does it yield?

Up to 810 pages on Epson's published rating for the genuine cartridge. Full-bleed photographs use considerably more ink per page than the rating pattern, so real photo counts will be lower.

Which printers take it?

Two only: Stylus Photo 1400 and Artisan 1430. Both are verified from Epson's own support listings for the T079120–T079620 codes.

Magenta or light magenta — which slot am I refilling?

Check the holder label: the printer has both. This cartridge is the full-strength magenta (T079320-S); the light magenta (T079620-S) is a paler tint in its own slot. They are not interchangeable.

Does it carry a chip?

Yes — a new compatible chip that reports the ink level. This cartridge carries a new compatible chip. If your printer's firmware has been updated, recognition issues can occasionally occur; firm reseating and a restart clear most false warnings, and the lifetime warranty covers a cartridge that will not recognise.

Is there a standard-capacity 79 magenta?

No. All six 79 cartridges are high capacity by Epson's own description — the family was never sold in a standard tier.

My reds look washed out. Will a new magenta fix it?

Run a nozzle check first: a partial pattern points to a clog or a low cartridge, a clean pattern points to paper or driver settings. Replacing magenta helps only in the first two cases.

Can the printer run with magenta empty?

No — these models stop when any one of the six cartridges is expended or removed.

How do I change it?

Keep the new cartridge sealed until the old one is out; remove only the yellow tape, avoid the chip contacts, press it into the magenta holder until it clicks, close the cover and let the printer charge.

Is this an Epson-made cartridge?

No. It is a Clever Supplies compatible built to the T079320-S specification, labelled compatible on the box and on this page.

How much ink is in it, in millilitres?

No verified millilitre figure exists in Epson's documentation for this family, so we leave the Volume field blank rather than repeat a seller's claim. Compare on the 810-page published yield instead.

Single or set?

This single when only magenta is low; the Set of 6 when several positions are close behind; the Set of 14 if the printer produces photographs in volume. Every option carries the lifetime warranty and first-year free returns.
