Epson Expression Premium XP-820 Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your Epson Expression Premium XP-820, which uses the Epson 273 and 273XL ink cartridges series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Jun 2015. Our 4.8 Google rating shows that our customers consistently receive high-quality cartridges backed by reliable performance. Designed for high-end photo output, heavy photo printing rapidly consumes Photo Black C13T274192 ink, while document text draws from standard Black C13T275192 cartridges.
Expected Page Yield and Ink Output
Standard 273 cartridges suit light printing, while 273XL high-yield options deliver substantially more prints per ink unit. Page yields for inkjet consumables are measured under ISO/IEC 24711 standard testing conditions, though photo coverage will naturally increase ink consumption across individual colours.
| 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 |
| 273XL | High Yield | Yellow | 650 | $0.062 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.

Expert Buying Tip
Photo printing drains individual colour channels unequally depending on photo subjects; replacing individual 273XL tanks as they empty avoids discarding unused ink remaining in other colour slots.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix standard 273 and high-yield 273XL cartridges in the same printer?
Yes, the Expression Premium XP-820 allows you to combine standard 273 and high-yield 273XL cartridges in any slot. Each cartridge slot operates independently.
Why does the XP-820 use two distinct black cartridges?
The 5-ink print system uses a dedicated pigment-based Black cartridge (C13T275192) for crisp document text on plain paper, alongside a dye-based Photo Black cartridge (C13T274192) specifically engineered for rich contrast on glossy media.
How do high-saturation photo prints impact expected page yields?
ISO yield ratings are calculated using standard 5% page coverage typical of text documents. Full-bleed photo printing can consume up to 100% ink coverage per page, depleting individual 273XL colour cartridges faster than standard yield estimates suggest.
