Running low on a single colour? A single Genuine C13T06V192 Black ink bottle (from $34.26) replaces just that one.

Expected Page Yield and Usage
Page yields for Epson T552 bottles are measured using ISO/IEC 24712 pattern standards for standard document output. Actual photo output varies significantly based on colour coverage, media type, and printing frequency, with Grey and Photo Black depleting faster during high-contrast fine art printing.

Photo Black and Grey inks are consumed during black-and-white print modes as well as colour photos to smooth out gradients. Keep spare Grey and Photo Black bottles on hand, as these two shades usually run out well before standard Cyan, Magenta, or Yellow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the T552 series use two different black ink bottles?
T552 uses a pigment-based Black bottle (C13T06V192) for sharp, smear-resistant text on plain paper, alongside a dye-based Photo Black bottle (C13T06W192) for deep blacks and smooth contrast on glossy photographic papers.
How does the Grey ink bottle affect print consumption?
The T552 Grey bottle is continuously blended during both monochrome fine art printing and full-colour photos to reduce graininess and improve tonal transitions, meaning Grey often exhausts at a different rate than primary CMY colours.
Can I top up the ink tanks before they are completely empty?
Yes, you can refill the EcoTank reservoirs at any point. Refilling early prevents air bubbles from entering the feeding lines, maintaining printhead calibration during high-volume print runs.
Is Epson T552 ink the same as Epson 552 ink?
Yes, Epson T552 and Epson 552 refer to the exact same ink bottle series; the "T" prefix is part of Epson's official product code structure, but both labels identify identical ink for ET-8500 and ET-8550 printers.
