Stylus Photo R380 Ink — Mix 78 and 77 by Position, Says Epson

The Stylus Photo R380 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 R380 also accepts the high-capacity 77 cartridges where they exist, and Epson’s own guidance for this platform is the rule to live by: “You can install both Claria 78 high yield and Claria 77 extra high yield inks in your printer at the same time — they are interchangeable.” Match the code to the slot, and never to a color name someone typed into a listing.

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

Mixed tiers make the R380 a position-by-position printer: 78 and 77 cartridges can sit side by side, so the practical question is which of the six Claria dye positions your photo work empties first, with the two light inks carrying pale gradient areas where full-strength dots would show. Every cartridge carries a new compatible chip (Intellidge-type), so ink levels report as they should. This printer pauses when any one cartridge is expended, so keep the fast-draining position as a sealed spare, out of direct light, instead of a fast reorder.
