WorkForce Pro WF-7840

The WorkForce Pro WF-7840 is the reference model for the 812 family: Epson's own support page for this printer lists the full cartridge code set, standard and XL. The Clever Supplies compatible 812XL cartridges below rate every colour — black (T812XL120), cyan (T812XL220), magenta (T812XL320), yellow (T812XL420) — up to 1,100 pages (ISO/IEC 24711), each with a new compatible chip and a lifetime warranty.

WF-7840 Ink — 812XL, All Four Colours
Everything this family claims traces back to Epson's WF-7840 documentation: the official support data for this printer carries the complete code set — standard 812, 812XL in all four colours, and 812XXL for black only. Our shelf is the XL tier of that list: T812XL120 black, T812XL220 cyan, T812XL320 magenta and T812XL420 yellow — four individual DURABrite Ultra pigment cartridges at up to 1,100 pages each (ISO/IEC 24711).
The WF-7840 is a high-volume machine — two trays, a 50-sheet ADF, fax on top of print/scan/copy — and it is the model where the Set of 9 (3 blacks + 2 of each colour) earns its shelf space. One family line, stated once more because it is this family's costliest mistake: WF-7840 = 812. The WF-4830-class printers that share its showroom are 822 printers in the US and take none of these cartridges.
Which 812XL should you buy?
- One colour ran out: replace just that colour — black, cyan, magenta and yellow singles — black $25.49, cyan $22.49, magenta $22.49, yellow $22.49.
- Full refresh: the Set of 4 ($83.94) replaces all four positions in one box.
- Stocked shelf: the Set of 9 ($175.37) stocks three blacks and two of each colour — the pattern wide-format offices actually consume.
Chip, ink and everyday use
Every cartridge carries a new compatible chip with ink-level reporting, so the printer tracks each position normally. Epson's guides for this family state the firmware position plainly — the printer is designed for genuine Epson cartridges, and firmware updates may affect the functionality of third-party ink. Reseat the cartridge and restart first if a warning follows an update; the lifetime warranty stands behind every cartridge regardless, with free returns for the first year. The ink is DURABrite Ultra pigment: sharp, dry and water-resistant on documents and drawings alike. Singles for the colour that's low; sets for the stocked shelf.
