Expected Page Output and Cartridge Lifespan
Epson measures page yields for the 103 cartridge series using ISO/IEC 24711 testing protocols for continuous inkjet printing. Standard ISO yield calculations rely on 5% page coverage across each colour, though actual yield varies depending on font density, graphics, and print frequency.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 103 | High Yield | Black | 995 | $0.007 |
| 103 | High Yield | Cyan | 815 | $0.006 |
| 103 | High Yield | Magenta | 815 | $0.006 |
| 103 | High Yield | Yellow | 815 | $0.006 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Compatible cartridges.

Pro Tip
Always keep a full set of spare T103 cartridges on hand, as the printer requires all four cartridges to contain ink to execute routine maintenance cycles and keep printhead nozzles clear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace individual T103 colour cartridges as they run out?
Yes. The Epson Stylus TX550W features an individual four-cartridge ink system. You only need to replace the specific T1032 Cyan, T1033 Magenta, or T1034 Yellow cartridge that has depleted, avoiding the waste of multi-colour combination blocks.
Why does the T1031 Black cartridge deplete faster than colour inks?
Standard text documents, emails, and general paperwork rely almost exclusively on the T1031 Black cartridge. Colour inks are primarily drawn during graphic or photographic printing, leading to higher replacement frequency for the black cartridge in typical home office use.
Are high-yield T103 extra high capacity cartridges physically larger than standard cartridges?
No, all T103 series cartridges share identical external dimensions to fit the printer printhead assembly securely. High-yield versions simply contain a higher volume of usable ink inside the chamber.
