Choosing between genuine and compatible options
Selecting third-party options substantially lowers ongoing printing costs for everyday tasks. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our comprehensive genuine vs compatible guide to evaluate which option fits your everyday printing demands.
Choosing the right cartridge setup
If you print mainly text documents, standard black or high-capacity black cartridges provide reasonable upfront expenditure. Installing 604XL high-yield options or multi-packs offers superior value over time, ensuring you replace individual colours less frequently. Compatible cartridges include a money-back guarantee should any performance issues arise. We supply fast dispatch from warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Standard orders qualify for hassle-free options outlined in our returns policy. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99. Explore our complete selection of Epson ink cartridges today.
Pro Tip
Always install replacement cartridges as soon as the low ink prompt appears rather than waiting for complete depletion to prevent the printhead from drawing air into the ink delivery lines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix standard 604 cartridges with high-yield 604XL cartridges in the same printer?
Yes, standard 604 and high-yield 604XL cartridges share identical physical dimensions and slot design. You can freely combine individual 604 and 604XL tanks across the four slots depending on which specific colours run out first.
Why does my colour ink level drop even when printing exclusively in black and white?
The printer uses small amounts of colour ink during automatic head cleaning cycles to maintain printhead moisture and prevent nozzle clogging. Additionally, standard printer drivers often mix cyan, magenta, and yellow with black ink to produce richer shades when default paper settings are selected.
Will using compatible 604XL ink cartridges damage my printhead over time?
Quality compatible cartridges use carefully formulated inks designed to match original viscosity specifications. Because the XP-2200 printhead is built into the printer rather than the cartridge, using reliable compatible inks from proven suppliers protects against clogging while retaining original print clarity.
