A Ink used in conversion varies considerably based on temperature and
other factors.
B Based upon print engine speed only. Total throughput times depend
upon front-end RIP, file size, printer resolution, ink coverage,
networking, etc. Normal Mode based on SuperFine – 1440 dpi.
C Cartridge yields vary considerably for reasons including images printed,
print settings, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when
printing infrequently or predominantly with one ink color. A variable
amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the “replace cartridge”
signal. Part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the
printer. Ink is used for both printing and print head maintenance. All
inks are used for both black and color printing. For more information
about cartridges, see www.epson.com/cartridgeinfo
D Ink lightfastness rating based on accelerated testing of prints on
specialty media, displayed indoors, under glass. Actual print stability
will vary according to media, printed image, display conditions, light
intensity, humidity and atmospheric conditions. Epson does not
guarantee the longevity of prints. For maximum print life, display all
prints under glass or lamination or properly store them.
