Artisan 1430 Ink — The Six 79 Codes, and Only Those Six
On the Artisan 1430, six inks divide the photo work between them, and the 79 family behind them has no tiers: every cartridge is high capacity. Black T079120 carries the lowest rating in the set, up to 470 pages; cyan T079220, magenta T079320, yellow T079420, light cyan T079520 and light magenta T079620 each carry up to 810 pages — a yield pattern that belongs to photographs, not text pages. Swap any single position as it runs down.
The 1430’s ink set is closed: exactly the six codes on this page, and nothing else. Epson sells other Claria dye cartridges for other printers — dye in the name does not make them fit, and no other Claria SKU belongs in this machine. When a listing’s color name and code disagree, trust the code: the cartridge your printer recognizes is the one with the right number on it. All six are high capacity — the family has no standard tier, so a “standard 79” listing is a contradiction to walk away from.
Which 79 should you buy?
- One color ran out: replace just that color — black, cyan, magenta, yellow, light cyan and light magenta singles are $10.49 each.
- Full refresh: the Set of 6 ($53.91) replaces all six positions in one box.
- Stock up: the Set of 14 ($104.94) stocks four blacks and two of each color for a stocked shelf.
Chip, ink and everyday use
For the 1430, read a recognition error as a seating problem first: the cartridges are chipped (new compatible Intellidge-type level chips), and recognition errors are a known possibility in this cartridge class, so seat each cartridge until it clicks and reseat and restart before judging one faulty. What flows through them is Claria Hi-Definition dye — the six-color photo system this printer was built around. Keep spares sealed and out of direct light.
