Epson Stylus Photo RX510 Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your Epson Stylus Photo RX510, which uses the Epson T0491-T0496 ink cartridge series. The 6-colour system balances individual ink depletion during detailed photo output, where light shades consume unevenly alongside standard T0491 Black cartridges. Purchasing a T0491-6 multipack ensures complete set coverage and keeps printing costs low. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
Page yields for T0491-T0496 cartridges are measured using ISO/IEC 24711 testing standards for inkjet consumables. In photo printing, actual yields vary based on colour density, image composition, and coverage across all six inks.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T0491 | Standard | Black | 450 | $0.024 |
| T0492 | Standard | Cyan | 430 | $0.025 |
| T0495 | Standard | Light Cyan | 430 | $0.025 |
| T0493 | Standard | Magenta | 430 | $0.025 |
| T0496 | Standard | Light Magenta | 430 | $0.025 |
| T0494 | Standard | Yellow | 430 | $0.025 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Compatible cartridges.
Choosing Compatible Inks for Your Photo Printer
Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Choosing reliable compatibles allows photo enthusiasts to maintain frequent printing without high running costs. You can compare genuine and compatible cartridges to understand how high-grade compatible formulations meet output requirements.
Managing Your Replacement Inks
For high-volume photo projects, ordering the T0491-6 multipack is the most economical strategy to keep full replacement sets ready. If you print primarily black text documents, replacing individual T0491 Black cartridges as needed avoids unnecessary stock. Every compatible cartridge is backed by a money-back guarantee, allowing you to buy Epson ink cartridges with total peace of mind under our returns policy. Orders are dispatched quickly from warehouse locations in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99.
Pro Tip for Photo Printing Consumables
Because 6-colour photo printers deplete light shades and primary colours at different rates during heavy image printing, keeping an extra T0491-6 multipack on hand prevents unexpected print stops when a single colour runs low mid-print.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do light cyan and light magenta cartridges deplete at different rates than standard cyan and magenta?
In 6-colour Epson printing systems, photo images rely heavily on light cyan (T0495) and light magenta (T0496) for delicate skin tones, sky gradients, and subtle highlights. As a result, these lighter shades often run out faster than primary cyan (T0492) and magenta (T0493) during photographic output.
Can individual T0491-T0496 cartridges be replaced independently when one colour runs out?
Yes, each of the six T0491 through T0496 cartridges operates independently. You only need to replace the specific colour cartridge that is empty, which minimises ink waste and helps keep ongoing printing costs down.
How does print coverage affect page yields on the T0491 Black cartridge versus colour cartridges?
Standard ISO yield ratings for T0491 Black (450 pages) and colour cartridges (430 pages) are based on standard 5% page coverage. Full-bleed photo printing uses significantly higher ink coverage across all six slots, meaning photographic output yields fewer total pages per cartridge than standard text printing.
