Epson XP-980 Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your Epson Expression Photo XP-980, an A3 photo printer designed for high-definition creative output and direct disc printing. This printer uses the Epson Expression Series ink cartridges along with XP-980 maintenance components. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Sep 2026. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance. Detailed photographic prints deplete specific light tones faster depending on colour balance in your artwork.
Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
Photo printing yields depend on image coverage and colour density across individual tanks. ISO/IEC 24711 standards measure standard yield baselines, though photo printing depletes light cyan and light magenta inks faster during high-resolution output.
Other XP-980 Consumables
In addition to ink cartridges, key operational components keep your photo printer running smoothly during continuous output.
Experience Tip: The genuine XP-980 replacement component operates alongside your standard ink cartridges to maintain clean internal operation during high-volume photo printing runs.
Choosing the Right Cartridge Setup
If you print mainly text documents, replacing black cartridges as needed maintains sharp output. If you print photos regularly, keeping extra light cyan and light magenta cartridges on hand prevents print job halts mid-page. All items are backed by our Returns policy.

Pro Tip
Always stock additional photo-specific colours alongside standard black, as photo printing draws unevenly from individual cartridges depending on image composition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do certain colour cartridges deplete faster than others in the Epson Expression Photo XP-980?
Creative photo printing uses six distinct inks, including light cyan and light magenta, to generate smooth skin tones and subtle gradients. Depending on the colour palette of your prints, these lighter shades deplete at different rates than standard cyan, magenta, yellow, or black cartridges.
Do I need to replace all six ink cartridges at the same time?
No. The XP-980 uses individual ink cartridges, allowing you to replace only the specific colour tank that has run empty without wasting remaining ink in other cartridges.
What standard is used to determine page yield for Epson photo ink cartridges?
Epson photo cartridge yields are calculated using ISO/IEC 24711 test suite standards under continuous printing conditions. Real-world photographic output with high colour saturation will consume ink faster than standard document testing models.
