Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the EcoTank ET-8550 use two different black T552 ink bottles?
The ET-8550 uses T552 Pigment Black for sharp text on plain paper, while T552 Photo Black is a dye-based ink used with the colour inks to create deeper tones and smoother gradations in photo printing.
How does T552 Grey ink improve photo print quality?
T552 Grey ink helps produce smoother tonal transitions in monochrome and softly shaded images. It can also improve detail in light and dark areas while reducing the need to create grey tones by mixing colour inks.
Can I top up the ET-8550 ink tanks before they are completely empty?
Yes, you can top up the EcoTank reservoirs before they are empty. Always match each T552 bottle to the corresponding colour tank and follow the printer manufacturer's refilling instructions.
