Stylus C120

Epson Stylus C120 printer

The Epson Stylus C120 is the exception that defines this platform, so read this first: its black must be the high-capacity 68 (T068120) — the standard 69 black does not fit this printer at all — and the C120 holds two black cartridges at once. Its colors are the standard 69 cartridges. Listed here: the compatible 68 black single and the mixed Set of 14 (5 × 68 black + 3 each 69 color), which matches this printer's recipe exactly.

The Epson Stylus C120 is the exception in this family, so read this first: its color cartridges are 69 cartridges — cyan (T069220), magenta (T069320) and yellow (T069420), cyan and magenta each rated up to 350 pages (the yellow carries no official Epson yield figure) — but its black is not. The C120 takes the high-capacity 68 black, not the 69 black (T069120). Only the three compatible 69 color cartridges belong on this page, and that is exactly what is listed below.

Stylus C120 Ink — 69 Colors Only; the Black Is a 68 Epson's own documentation for the C120 splits its ink shelf in two: the three colors are standard-capacity 69 cartridges (T069220 / T069320 / T069420, up to 350 pages each for cyan and magenta; Epson publishes no official yield figure for the yellow), while black is the high-capacity 68 — the C120 does not accept the 69 black (T069120) at all. Listings that sell a 69 black, a 69 four-pack or a 69 bulk set for the C120 are contradicting Epson's spec.

So this page carries three products, not six: the compatible 69 cyan, magenta and yellow singles. Because the family sets contain a 69 black, neither the Set of 4 nor the Set of 14 is listed here. Every 69 color cartridge is a DURABrite Ultra pigment cartridge with a new compatible chip, covered by our lifetime warranty with 1-year free returns.

Stylus C120 Ink — 68 Black Required, 69 Colors

Read this first, because the C120 is the exception that defines its platform: its black must be the high-capacity 68 — T068120 — and the printer holds two black cartridges at once. The standard 69 black (T069120) does not fit this printer at all. Its colors are the standard 69 cartridges: T069220 cyan and T069320 magenta, up to 350 pages each, and T069420 yellow, for which Epson publishes no official yield figure. No verifiable official yield exists for the 68 black, so none is printed.

Epson’s own FAQ for the C120 splits its ink shelf in two, and listings that sell a 69 black or an all-69 set for the C120 contradict that spec. A full black change takes two 68 cartridges — the printer holds a pair — while colors are replaced one at a time as they run down. Because the family sets contain a 69 black, neither 69 set is listed for this printer; the mixed Set of 14 below is built to the C120’s recipe instead: five 68 blacks, three each of the 69 colors.

Which 68/69 should you buy?

Black (two at a time): the 68 high-capacity black ($10.49) — the only black this printer takes.
One color ran out: replace just that color — cyan, magenta and yellow singles are $10.49 each.
Stock up: the Set of 14 ($82.35) five 68 blacks plus three each of the 69 colors — matched to this printer's twin black slots.

Chip, ink and everyday use

The C120's twin black slots make seating worth a second of care: push each cartridge in until it sits firm, and the new compatible chip in every cartridge lets the printer read ink levels normally. The ink is DURABrite Ultra pigment, so prints come out dry to the touch and resist water and highlighter smudging on documents that get handled. Keep spares sealed in their bags until install day.
