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.
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 Print permanence based on accelerated testing of prints on specialty media,
displayed indoors, under UV coated 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.
