Managing Fine Art Printing Supplies
For fine art and gallery prints, keeping spare shades on hand prevents print interruptions during multi-pass passes. When managing inventory, order extra light black, light cyan, and light magenta, as photo gradients consume lighter shades faster than primary tones. Stock up on genuine Epson ink cartridges with peace of mind through our transparent returns policy. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99, dispatched quickly from our warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.
Pro Tip
If switching between glossy photo paper and matte media, complete your batch jobs on one paper type before changing, as switching black ink modes consumes ink during the printhead flush routine.
If only one colour has run dry, there's no need to replace the rest - a single Genuine T0598 cartridge (from $27.38) is the lowest-cost way to keep printing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes light black or light magenta ink to deplete faster than primary colours in the T0591-T0599 set?
Fine art photo printers generate smooth skin tones and subtle tonal transitions by blending higher ratios of light cyan, light magenta, and light black inks rather than saturated primaries. Consequently, high-detail photo printing uses lighter inks at an accelerated rate compared to standard CMYK documents.
Why are Matte Black (T0598) and Photo Black (T0591) both used in the T0591-T0599 series?
Matte Black is formulated for absorbent fine art and matte paper, delivering deeper dMax black levels without surface bleed. Photo Black is resin-coated for glossy and lustre papers to prevent bronzing and ensure optical clarity.
Can I leave empty T0591-T0599 cartridges in the printer while continuing to print?
No. Epson Stylus Photo printers require all eight ink positions to contain a functional cartridge with ink to operate. Running a channel dry risks damaging the micro-piezo printhead nozzles through heat buildup and air intake.
Is T0591-T0599 the same as T0591 to T0599?
Yes. T0591-T0599 and T0591 to T0599 describe the exact same Epson ink series, where individual cartridge model codes range sequentially from T0591 (Photo Black) through T0599 (Light Light Black).
