What are ink supplies?
Three different components are classed as ink supplies: the Ink Cartridges, the Printheads and the
Maintenance Cartridge.
Ink Cartridges
The color printer's six Ink Cartridges provide matte black, dark gray, gray, magenta, cyan and yellow ink to
the Printheads. The Introductory Ink Cartridges supplied with the printer have 225 ml of ink, which is an
average lifespan of one month beyond the ink used to set up and install the printer. The ‘Host’ Ink Cartridges
which are purchased to replace the Introductory Ink Cartridges hold approximately 400 ml, and there is also a
larger Matte Black Ink Cartridge that holds approximately 775 ml.
The Ink Cartridges require no maintenance or cleaning. As long as each Ink Cartridge is inserted correctly into
its slot, the ink will flow to the Printheads. Because the Printheads control the amount of ink transferred to
the page, you will continue to see high-quality printing results even when the ink levels are getting low.
The front panel displays the status of the Ink Cartridge. Using the front panel, detailed information can be
checked on the Ink Cartridges.
