WF-2860 Ink Cartridges — 202XL for a Small-Office Machine
Epson's product data lists the WF-2860 with the same 202 code set as its Expression sibling: standard T202120 / T202220 / T202320 / T202420 and high-capacity T202XL120 / T202XL220 / T202XL320 / T202XL420, rated 210/165 standard and 550/470 XL on the ISO/IEC 24711 pattern. The ink is Claria — pigment black for documents, dye colours beside it. For a fax-and-ADF office machine the XL tier is the working choice, and it is the tier we stock: singles, the Set of 4, and the Set of 9 bulk box with three blacks.
Name discipline matters on this model. The European WF-2865 takes region-coded Kiwi cartridges, not the US 202 shelf on this page — the two machines share a silhouette and nothing else. And if a search result or data sheet seems to show a "WF-3860", that is a known typo for this printer, not a third model. WF-2860 on the badge means the cartridges below; anything else means a different page.
Which 202XL should you buy?
- One colour ran out: replace just that colour — black, cyan, magenta and yellow singles are $14.99 each.
- Full refresh: the Set of 4 ($50.94) replaces all four positions in one box.
- Print every week: the Set of 9 ($107.87) stocks three blacks and two of each colour — the pattern document printing actually consumes.
Chip, ink and everyday use
Every cartridge carries a new compatible chip, so the WF-2860 reports its ink levels normally. The ink split is Claria's classic one: a pigment black that keeps documents crisp and water-resistant, and dye colours for everything else. One honest caution from this family's own pages: these cartridges are chipped, and Epson firmware updates have repeatedly caused recognition warnings with third-party chips on this platform. If one follows an update, reseat the cartridge and restart first — the lifetime warranty stands behind every cartridge regardless, with free returns in the first year.
