Epson T46S Ink Cartridges
Epson T46S ink cartridges provide fine-art print accuracy for your Epson SureColor P706 photo printer. This 10-colour UltraChrome PRO10 ink series includes dedicated Photo Black, Matte Black, Grey, Light Grey, and Violet cartridges to expand colour gamut and gradient depth. Our 4.8 Google Star rating shows that our customers consistently receive high-quality cartridges backed by reliable performance. Full sets and individual replacement cartridges deliver consistent tone stability.
Managing Epson T46S Ink Yields
Epson T46S 25ml cartridges are rated under ISO photo print testing standards. In 10-colour photo printing, light shades like Light Cyan, Light Grey, and Violet deplete faster during high-volume portrait and landscape image output than solid primary inks.
Selecting Single Inks or Complete Bundles
If you focus on monochrome photography, Grey, Light Grey, Photo Black, and Matte Black cartridges require regular monitoring. If you print landscape graphics, Yellow and Violet experience heavier draw. Ordering complete 10-pack bundles provides an immediate full replacement set at reduced cost. All stock ships quickly from distribution centres in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99. Items are protected under our returns policy. Browse our full range of Epson ink cartridges for every print requirement.
Pro Tip
Unlike older Epson photo printers, the SureColor P706 features separate dedicated lines for Photo Black (T46S1) and Matte Black (T46S8). You can swap between glossy fine-art photo paper and matte media without flushing or wasting ink through channel switching.

Replace the Complete Colour Set
If all your colours are running low, the 10-Pack T46S Genuine (from $575.01) covers every colour in one order and qualifies for free delivery.

No need to replace every colour at once - a single Genuine T46S8 Black cartridge (from $58.68) covers just the one that's run out.
Bulk Cartridge Options
For a high-volume office, a larger pack reduces how often you need to reorder - the 20-Pack T46S Genuine (from $1,138.28) is the equivalent option if you'd rather stick with official ink. The genuine pack qualifies for free delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Epson T46S cartridges need to be replaced all at once?
No, individual cartridges can be replaced as each colour depletes. The printer tracks ink levels for each of the 10 slots independently and allows printing to continue until a specific cartridge reaches empty.
Why does the T46S series include both Photo Black and Matte Black?
Photo Black (T46S1) uses a formulation designed to bond with glossy and lustre papers for deep black density, while Matte Black (T46S8) absorbs into matte and cotton rag media to prevent bronzing and ink glare.
Which T46S ink cartridge runs out fastest during portrait printing?
In fine-art portraiture, Light Cyan (T46S5), Vivid Light Magenta (T46S6), and Light Grey (T46S7) experience the highest ink draw because skin tones and highlights rely heavily on lighter shade dilutions rather than dense primary inks.
Is T46S 1 the same as T46S1?
Yes, T46S 1 and T46S1 refer to the exact same Epson Photo Black ink cartridge. The space is simply a formatting variation used in retail descriptions.
