Epson Expression Premium XP-720 Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your Epson Expression Premium XP-720, which uses the Epson 273 and 273XL ink cartridges series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Nov 2016. Designed for photo printing and daily documentation, this printer balances text and image output. Switching from standard 273 Magenta (C13T273392) to high-yield 273XL options like Cyan (C13T275292) reduces replacement frequency during image-heavy print jobs. Our 4.8 Google rating proves it: we consistently supply premium cartridges backed by rock-solid reliability.
Expected Page Output and Ink Consumption
Epson calculates page output for 273 series cartridges using ISO/IEC 24711 industry standard testing on standard document pages. Printing full-bleed glossy photos consumes ink much faster across all colours than general text printing, requiring more frequent replacements during photographic projects.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 273 | Standard | Magenta | 300 | $0.059 |
| 273XL | High Yield | Black | 500 | $0.080 |
| 273XL | High Yield | Photo Black | 500 | $0.080 |
| 273XL | High Yield | Cyan | 650 | $0.062 |
| 273XL | High Yield | Magenta | 650 | $0.062 |

Pro Tip
When producing borderless photo prints, monitor your individual colour ink levels evenly, as continuous high-coverage image printing exhausts cyan, magenta, and yellow cartridges at significantly faster rates than standard text documents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix standard Epson 273 and high-yield 273XL cartridges in the XP-720?
Yes, standard 273 and high-yield 273XL cartridges share the exact same physical dimensions and slot design. You can run a 273XL Black (C13T275192) alongside standard 273 colour cartridges without issue.
Why does photo printing exhaust colour ink faster than published page yield figures?
Standard page yields for Epson 273 cartridges are measured using ISO/IEC 24711 test documents at approximately 5% page coverage. Full-page photo prints apply ink across 100% of the paper surface, consuming significantly more ink per print.
Does the Epson Expression Premium XP-720 use separate photo and document black inks?
Yes, this printer system utilizes dedicated black cartridges tailored for specific print media. Text black provides crisp documentation on plain paper, whereas photo black in the 273 series delivers deep contrast and rich tones on glossy photographic media.
