Frequently Asked Questions

Which printers take the T088320?

The Stylus CX4400, CX4450, CX7400, NX200 and NX400 — five models verified individually in Epson's own support FAQs. The list is complete as published here; no other model is claimed.

What ink is inside?

DURABrite Ultra pigment ink, the same formulation as the platform's other tiers. Moderate Capacity is a statement about fill amount, not about a lesser ink.

How many pages does it yield?

No figure is printed, deliberately: no official Epson yield for the 88 family could be verified, and the numbers resellers quote for this code are not Epson ratings. The tier itself tells you the expectation — this is the light-use cartridge.

Does it carry a chip?

Yes — a new compatible chip that reports ink levels. This cartridge carries a new compatible chip. If your printer's firmware has been updated, recognition issues can occasionally occur, and in this generation that risk is a real one. Seat it firmly, restart, and if it still refuses, the lifetime warranty replaces it. We do not claim recognition is guaranteed in every case.

Can I use this in a printer that takes the standard tier of this platform?

Only if the printer is one of the five listed models. Tier-sharing runs the other way on this platform: most of the five also take the larger tier, but the larger tier's wider printer list does not extend to the 88. Epson has officially documented a close platform relative as incompatible with the 88 cartridges.

CX4400 and CX4450 owners: anything special?

Yes — on those two models Epson's documentation lists the 88 as the only tier. Keep all four positions on 88 cartridges there. On the CX7400, NX200 and NX400 the standard tier is also documented and can be mixed by slot.

My reds look dull. Is magenta the cause?

Possibly, but check first: read the level monitor and run a nozzle check. A broken magenta pattern confirms the cartridge side; a clean pattern points to settings or paper.

Will the printer work with magenta empty?

No. These models stop when any cartridge is expended or removed.

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We do not publish a figure — Epson's documentation gives no verified millilitre value for this family, so the Volume field is blank rather than filled with a reseller's claim.

How do I change it?

Have the new cartridge ready before the old one comes out; peel only the yellow tape, keep off the chip contacts, press it into the magenta holder until it clicks, close the cover and let the printer charge.

Is this a genuine Epson cartridge?

No. It is a Clever Supplies compatible built to the T088320-S specification, labelled compatible on the box and on this page.

Single or Set of 4?

This single when only magenta is low; the Set of 4 when the printer is being returned to service or several colours are low together. Both carry the lifetime warranty and first-year free returns.
