** Pages per minute (ppm) speed measured after first page, based on black text and color text patterns in Draft Mode on plain paper. Color photo in Draft Mode on Premium Photo Paper Glossy measured from start of
paper feed. Additional print time will vary based on system configuration, software application and page complexity. See www.epson.com/printspeed for more information about print speed.
*** Ink lightfastness ratings based on accelerated testing of prints on specialty media, stored in an album. 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 properly store them. Visit www.wilhelm-research.com for the latest information.

2 We recommend that you use genuine Epson ink cartridges. The use of other products may affect your print quality and longevity and could result in printer damage. Yields vary considerably based on images printed,
print settings, paper type, frequency of use and temperature. For print quality, a small amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the “Replace cartridge” indicator comes on. See www.epson.com/cartridgeinfo for more
information about cartridges.
