Stylus CX4400
The Stylus CX4400 runs on one ink tier only: Epson 88 Moderate Capacity — black (T088120), cyan, magenta and yellow DURABrite Ultra pigment cartridges. Epson's own FAQ for this model lists the 88 cartridges and no other tier. The Clever Supplies compatible 88 singles and Set of 4 below each carry a new compatible chip and our lifetime warranty.

Stylus CX4400 Ink — 88 Only, by Epson’s Own List
Judge the CX4400 by its job: occasional documents and copies, printed on one tier only. That tier is the Epson 88 family: T088120 black, T088220 cyan, T088320 magenta and T088420 yellow — DURABrite Ultra pigment ink in Epson's Moderate Capacity, the light-use tier. No official page-yield figure for the 88 cartridges could be verified, so none is printed here instead of a reseller's number. Moderate Capacity describes the fill's place, not a rating: a lighter fill for a printer that works occasionally.
Most printers on this DURABrite platform take more than one cartridge tier; the CX4400 is the exception. Epson’s support FAQ for the model names the four 88 cartridges as its ink set, and the platform’s larger tiers are not listed for it. Keep all four positions on 88 cartridges: that is the whole shelf, and it is exactly what this page sells. That single-tier map is also why this page carries nothing else: there is no standard tier to step up to and no high tier above it — four cartridges, four positions, one decision.
Which 88 should you buy?
- One color ran out: replace just that color — black, cyan, magenta and yellow singles are $8.99 each.
- Full refresh: the Set of 4 ($23.34) replaces all four positions in one box.
Chip, ink and everyday use
Occasional use brings its own failure pattern on the CX4400: cartridges sit, then must work on demand. These are chipped cartridges, and recognition problems are a known risk in this generation — seat each one until it clicks, and reseat and restart the printer before judging one faulty; the lifetime warranty covers any cartridge that will not be recognized. The DURABrite Ultra pigment suits the documents and copies this tier serves. Keep spares sealed until install day.
