Frequently Asked Questions

How many pages does the T088420 print?

No figure is stated, because none could be verified from Epson's own documentation for the 88 family. Reseller numbers for this code exist but contradict each other and are not Epson ratings, so the yield field here is blank. Moderate Capacity is the honest description: Epson's light-use fill.

Which printers take it?

Five, verified from Epson's support FAQs: Stylus CX4400, Stylus CX4450, Stylus CX7400, Stylus NX200 and Stylus NX400. That is the complete list for this tier.

I have a CX4400. Can I use the platform's bigger cartridges instead?

Epson's FAQ for the CX4400 lists the 88 cartridges only — the bigger tiers are not documented for that model, and the same holds for the CX4450. On those two printers, keep all four positions on the 88.

What ink is inside?

DURABrite Ultra pigment ink — the platform's document-grade pigment formulation, in the moderate fill. Tier changes quantity, not ink type.

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; in this cartridge generation recognition failure is a known risk, so reseat firmly and restart first. A cartridge that still will not recognise is replaced under the lifetime warranty — recognition is not something we claim is guaranteed in every case.

My greens look blue and warm colours look cold. Is yellow out?

That colour shift is the classic yellow-starved symptom. Confirm with the level monitor and a nozzle check — a broken yellow pattern settles it — then replace this cartridge.

Does the printer stop when yellow is empty?

Yes. These printers will not operate with any cartridge expended or removed, yellow included.

Can I mix this with the standard tier in the other slots?

On the CX7400, NX200 and NX400, yes — Epson documents both tiers for those models and slots read independently. On the CX4400 and CX4450, no: Epson lists the 88 only.

How should a spare be stored?

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

How much ink is in it, in millilitres?

We publish no figure. Epson's documentation gives no verified millilitre value for this family, so the Volume field is left blank instead of repeating a seller's number.

Is it a genuine Epson cartridge?

No — a Clever Supplies compatible built to the T088420-S specification, labelled compatible on the box and this page. It is not made by Epson.

What cover do I get?

A lifetime warranty — a cartridge that fails to perform is replaced — plus free returns within the first year.
