WF-2540

Epson WF-2540 printer

The WorkForce WF-2540 prints with the Epson 200 family — four individual DURABrite Ultra pigment cartridges. The compatible 200XL cartridges below give you a 500-page black and 450-page colors, each with a new compatible chip and our lifetime warranty.

WF-2540 Series Laser Toner Cartridges

WF-2540 Ink — 200XL, Chipped, Stated Plainly

Epson's cartridge documentation for the WF-2540 lists the full 200 code set: standard T200120 / T200220 / T200320 / T200420 and high-capacity T200XL120 / T200XL220 / T200XL320 / T200XL420. Rated yields (ISO/IEC 24711/24712): standard black up to 175 pages and each color up to 165; XL black up to 500 pages and each color up to 450, all DURABrite Ultra pigment ink. We stock the XL tier only — the compatible ladder for this family is built on XL — because the standard cartridges run out fast enough that the XL's cost per page wins for almost everyone.

Epson's cartridge list for the WF-2540 is the family's standard set, and our shelf is the XL tier of it — the tier a fax-and-document machine earns its keep on. One boundary, stated once: nothing on this page fits a 220 or 288 printer, and the overseas WF-2510 is not this model. Check the badge on the machine or the code on the cartridge coming out; if it starts with T200XL, you are in the right place.

Which 200XL 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 ($29.94) replaces all four positions in one box.
Print every week: the Set of 9 ($53.87) stocks three blacks and two of each color — the pattern document printing actually consumes.

Chip, ink and everyday use

Store WF-2540 spares sealed until install day, and a recognition warning becomes a short checklist instead of a stop: reseat the cartridge, restart, and check the chip contact is clean and dry — especially when a firmware update came just before the message. Each cartridge carries a new compatible chip, so the WF-2540 reads its levels as it should, and a one-time on-screen confirmation is the printer checking a non-Epson cartridge, not an error. DURABrite Ultra pigment prints come out dry to the touch and resist water and highlighter smudging on filed, handled documents. The lifetime warranty stands behind every cartridge either way.
