Epson T3120-T3124 & Epson T3127-T3129 Ink Cartridges
Epson T3120-T3124 and T3127-T3129 genuine ink cartridges provide individual 14ml UltraChrome Hi-Gloss 2 pigment cartridges for your Epson SureColor SC-P405 printer, including specialised Red, Orange, Photo Black, Matte Black and Gloss Optimiser channels. Stocking complete multi-packs maintains consistent archival photo quality and accurate skin tones. Our 4.8 Google Star rating shows that our customers consistently receive high-quality cartridges backed by reliable performance.
Expected Print Output and Ink Usage
Epson T3120 to T3129 ink cartridges are measured under ISO/IEC 24711 photo standards. Because fine art photo printing uses varying ink coverage per colour channel, actual output depends on image composition, paper finish and print density.
Managing Replacement Stock for Fine Art Printing
If you produce glossy fine art prints, stock additional Gloss Optimiser (T3120) cartridges, as gloss clear-coating consumes ink faster than individual colour channels. If you print matte photos or graphics, replace Matte Black (T3128) without affecting Photo Black levels. Ordering full ink bundles reduces per-cartridge delivery costs. We dispatch genuine Epson ink cartridges directly from warehouse facilities in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99, backed by our standard returns policy.
Archival Printhead Tip
Always leave both Photo Black (T3121) and Matte Black (T3128) cartridges installed simultaneously. The printer automatically switches channels based on media selection in the print driver, but both slots must contain functional cartridges to perform self-maintenance cycles.
Match Your Printing Habits to the Right Epson T3120-T3124 Ink Cartridge Pack
If all your colours are running low, the 8-Pack T3120-T3124 Genuine (from $225.99) covers every colour in one order and qualifies for free delivery.
For a high-volume office, buying in bulk cuts the cost per unit further - the 16-Pack T3120-T3124 Genuine (from $447.37) is the equivalent option if you'd rather stick with official ink. This qualifies for free delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Gloss Optimiser empty faster than colour cartridges?
Gloss Optimiser (T3120) is applied across the entire printed area of glossy, metallic, or lustre papers to uniform skin reflections and eliminate bronzing. Because it covers the whole print surface rather than just specific coloured areas, it depletes faster when printing full-bleed glossy photos.
Do I need to manually swap Matte Black and Photo Black cartridges when changing paper types?
No. Both T3121 Photo Black and T3128 Matte Black cartridges remain loaded in the printer at the same time. Selecting glossy or fine art matte paper in your driver signals the SC-P405 to direct ink through the correct channel automatically.
Can I continue printing photos if the Gloss Optimiser cartridge runs out?
No. The Epson SC-P405 halts printing if any of the eight cartridge slots, including the Gloss Optimiser, are empty. Keeping a spare T3120 cartridge on hand prevents print job interruptions mid-batch.
Is C13T312100 the same as the T3121 cartridge?
Yes. C13T312100 is Epson's official part number, while T3121 is the short model code printed on the cartridge packaging; both refer to the exact same Photo Black ink unit.
