Upgrading from standard 273 units to high-yield 273XL cartridges like C13T274192 reduces cartridge swap frequency during heavy photo projects. Our 4.8 Google rating is built on dependable cartridge performance and uncompromising product quality.
Expected Page Output and Ink Usage
Page yields for Epson 273 and 273XL cartridges are measured using ISO/IEC 24711 standards for inkjet printing. Photographic output depletes dye inks unevenly depending on colour saturation, making high-yield cartridges essential for maintaining smooth print workflows without frequent interruptions.

Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Cartridges
Opting for compatible 273XL cartridges offers a budget-friendly way to maintain high print output without compromising reliability. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty.

Pro Tip
Always keep a spare 273XL Photo Black cartridge on hand alongside document black; photo printing draws heavily from the dedicated photo black tank, which can run low even when standard black remains full.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Epson XP-700 use two different Black cartridges?
The XP-700 uses a 5-ink Claria Premium system featuring a standard Black cartridge (C13T274192) for crisp plain-paper document text, and a dedicated Photo Black cartridge (C13T275192) for rich tones and deep contrast on glossy media.
Can I install 273XL cartridges if my printer came with standard 273 inks?
Yes. The 273XL high-yield cartridges share the exact physical dimensions and slot design as standard 273 cartridges, but contain a larger volume of ink to produce more pages per cartridge.
What happens if one colour cartridge runs out during a photo print run?
The printer requires all installed cartridges to contain ink to complete print operations and safeguard the printhead. Keeping high-capacity 273XL individual colour tanks on hand ensures minimal disruption when one shade depletes faster than others.
