Artisan 50 Ink — Six-Ink Photo Printing, Single Function

The Artisan 50 takes the 78 cartridge family in all six positions: black T078120, cyan T078220, magenta T078320, yellow T078420, light cyan T078520 and light magenta T078620 — six separate Claria dye cartridges in high yield, with no standard capacity tier. Epson has never published an official yield table for the 78 family, so no page number is printed here rather than borrowed from a reseller.

Uniquely on this shelf, the Artisan 50 is a single-function printer on a six-ink system — no scanner to dilute its purpose: it is a photo printer, and its ink is the photo shelf. Epson lists the 78 family for it in all six positions, all high yield, and the complete Stylus Photo family it belongs to sits on the More list below. The tiers on this page are patience, not capacity: refill what ran out, in the position that ran out.

Which 78 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 ($49.41) replaces all six positions in one box.
Stock up: the Set of 13 ($87.56) stocks three blacks and two of each color as the household spare shelf.

Chip, ink and everyday use

A single-function photo printer spends ink with a single purpose, and the Artisan 50's six Claria dye positions show it: photo sessions draw each color down on its schedule, the light inks carrying the pale ends of gradients where full-strength dots would show, so refill the position that ran out rather than the whole shelf. Every cartridge carries a new compatible chip (Intellidge-type) and levels report as they should. The printer pauses when any one cartridge is expended, so keep that position's spare sealed and out of direct light.
