Artisan 837

Epson Artisan 837 printer

The Artisan 837, the family's flagship, uses the same six Claria cartridges as its siblings: black (T098120, high capacity) and five standard-capacity colors (T099220–T099620), up to 500 pages per cartridge. Compatible singles and sets are below, with a lifetime warranty.

Artisan 837 Ink — High-Capacity Black, Five 99 Colors

Under the Artisan 837's lid sits the same six-cartridge layout, and its black slot breaks the usual tier pattern. Black T098120 is a high-capacity cartridge rated at up to 500 pages, with no standard-capacity black offered for this system at all. The five color positions belong to the 99 family — cyan T099220, magenta T099320, yellow T099420, light cyan T099520 and light magenta T099620 — and Epson rates each of them at up to 500 pages as well. Orders arrive as Claria Hi-Definition dye cartridges, swapped one position at a time, so keeping the full six on hand is what keeps this flagship ready.

The Artisan 837 is the flagship of this line, and its ink shelf is exactly the same six cartridges as the Artisan 700’s — same black, same five colors, same ratings. Buying for the top model costs the same ink as buying for the entry model; the complete shelf is one page, this one.

Which 98/99 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) one high-capacity black plus the five standard colors — a full six-slot refresh.
Stock up: the Set of 13 ($101.21) stocks three blacks and two of each color for owners who print photographs in volume.

Chip, ink and everyday use

Each cartridge for the Artisan 837 carries a new compatible Intellidge-type chip, and that chip is where recognition is won or lost on a printer of this age. The 837 line is long out of production, so new firmware locks are not the practical risk; chip quality and a firm seat in the slot are. If a tank ever reports badly, the lifetime warranty stands behind it. These are six-color Claria dye inks — keep spares sealed until fitting day and store them out of direct light.
