Choosing compatible 73N cartridges

Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty.

Pro Tip
When installing replacement 73N cartridges, replace only the specific colour indicated as empty by your printer status monitor so you maximise ink use across all four individual channels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace just one Epson 73N cartridge when it runs out?
Yes. The Epson Stylus CX3900 uses individual ink tanks for Black (T1051), Cyan (T1052), Magenta (T1053), and Yellow (T1054), allowing you to replace only the empty colour without wasting remaining ink in the other tanks.
What should I do if my printer displays a low ink warning for one colour?
You can continue printing until the printer prompts that the cartridge is completely depleted. Having a spare T1051 Black or colour tank on hand ensures continuous workflow when the cartridge finally stops printing.
Why does my T1051 Black ink deplete faster than cyan, magenta, or yellow?
Everyday document printing, email drafts, and text pages rely predominantly on black ink, whereas colour inks are consumed primarily during graphics and photo printing.
