Epson T552 Ink Bottles
Epson T552 ink bottles are designed for two Epson EcoTank photo printers: the EcoTank ET-8500 and the EcoTank ET-8550. Both are wide format photo printers used by photographers and home studios for high-quality borderless photo prints. The T552 range covers six colours - Black, Photo Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Grey - and uses a mixed ink system: the Black bottle uses pigment-based ink for sharp, water-resistant text and document output, while the remaining five colours use dye-based ink optimised for photo printing. Unlike cartridge-based printers, the ET-8500 and ET-8550 use refillable ink tanks - you pour each bottle directly into the printer's built-in reservoir and replace only the colours that run low.
Printers Compatible with Epson T552 Ink Bottles
The mixed ink system in the ET-8500 and ET-8550 gives these printers their versatility. Pigment Black produces sharp, smudge-resistant results on plain paper and matte media. Photo Black - a dye-based ink - delivers richer shadow detail on glossy and satin photo papers. The Grey bottle extends tonal range for black-and-white and portrait printing, where smooth midtone gradations matter. The printer selects between Black and Photo Black automatically based on the paper type set in the driver. All six colours are available as singles and in 6-pack and 12-pack bundles. Only genuine Epson T552 ink bottles are available - no compatible alternatives are sold by Ink Depot for this printer. Orders over $99 (conditions apply) receive free delivery Australia-wide. A small fee applies to rural and regional postcodes. Browse the full Epson ink bottles range or explore Epson printers.
General FAQ

What is the difference between T552 Black and T552 Photo Black?
T552 Black uses pigment-based ink, which is better suited to plain paper and matte media - it produces sharp edges, resists water, and holds up well over time.
