Epson RX530 Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your Epson Stylus Photo RX530, which uses the Epson T0561-T0564 ink cartridges series. Operating with four individual ink cartridges-T0561 Black, T0562 Cyan, T0563 Magenta, and T0564 Yellow-you only need to replace whichever colour runs out. Purchasing T0561-4 multipacks keeps costs down during frequent printing projects. Our 4.8 Google rating proves it: we consistently supply premium cartridges backed by rock-solid reliability.
Expected page output and print performance
Epson measures standard cartridge yield according to ISO/IEC 24711 testing standards. In four-colour desktop inkjet systems, individual ink depletion rates vary depending on document coverage-text pages consume T0561 Black rapidly, whereas graphics and photo prints draw evenly across T0562, T0563, and T0564 colours.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T0561 | Standard | Black | 290 | $0.029 |
| T0562 | Standard | Cyan | 290 | $0.029 |
| T0563 | Standard | Magenta | 290 | $0.029 |
| T0564 | Standard | Yellow | 290 | $0.027 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Compatible cartridges.
Understanding compatible ink options
Compatible cartridges offer a cost-effective alternative to brand-name consumables without sacrificing print quality. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Choosing third-party T0561 to T0564 ink allows home users to enjoy reliable printing at significantly lower operational expense.

Selecting the best cartridge option for your needs
For high-volume text printing, stocking additional T0561 Black cartridges ensures you will not be caught short during lengthy document runs. If you print colour photos or graphics, ordering complete multipacks helps maintain even ink levels across all channels. All compatible cartridges are backed by a money-back guarantee for peace of mind. We process and ship orders quickly from dispatch centres in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide.

Pro Tip
Always replace depleted ink cartridges immediately; leaving an empty cartridge slot open in the print head assembly can cause residual ink to dry inside microscopic nozzles, resulting in uneven colour reproduction when a new cartridge is installed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does one colour cartridge run out faster than the others during photo printing?
Photo images often contain dominant tone ranges-such as sky blues or skin tones-that heavily draw on specific primary colours. In four-colour ink systems like the T0561-T0564 series, Cyan (T0562) or Magenta (T0563) may deplete faster than Yellow or Black depending on the image palette being printed.
Can I replace individual T0561-T0564 cartridges one at a time, or do they need to be changed as a full set?
Cartridges can be replaced individually as each colour runs low. The printer monitors each cartridge independently, allowing you to install a fresh T0561 Black or T0562 Cyan without disturbing the remaining functional cartridges.
How should spare T0561-T0564 ink cartridges be stored to ensure maximum shelf life?
Keep sealed cartridge packages upright in a cool, dark environment away from direct sunlight and extreme thermal changes. Storing them sealed in their original vacuum packages prevents the ink from thickening or drying out prior to installation.
