Stylus Photo R260 Ink — Six Positions, Six Cartridges

The Stylus Photo R260 prints through six individual Claria dye cartridges: black T078120, cyan T078220, magenta T078320, yellow T078420, light cyan T078520 and light magenta T078620. 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. The same printer also accepts the high-capacity 77 cartridges where they exist — the two tiers mix by position, so replacing one cartridge never means changing families.

The R260’s Product Information Guide carries Epson’s own photo-ink framing: the interface colors the low position the same as the others, and the 78 cartridge designated for a position is simply the ink to use for it. The guide lists all six positions by name with this page’s six codes. The printer also accepts the high-capacity 77 cartridges where they exist; tiers mix by position, but the drop-in logic stays simple.

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

On the R260, watch the positions, not the set: its six Claria dye cartridges empty at photo pace, the two light inks carrying pale gradient areas where full-strength dots would show, and because the high-capacity 77 tier mixes in by position, the slot that runs out first is the one worth stepping up. Every cartridge carries a new compatible chip (Intellidge-type), so levels report as they should. The printer pauses when any one cartridge is expended, making a sealed spare, kept out of direct light, worth more than a fast reorder.
