Epson WorkForce WF-3530 Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your Epson WorkForce WF-3530, which uses the Epson 138 ink cartridge series along with C13T671100 maintenance kits. The WorkForce WF-3530 is a heavy-duty office inkjet printer engineered for duplex printing and fast document output in active workgroups. Ink Depot has supplied reliable consumables for this printer since Nov 2013. Heavy office workloads rapidly deplete the standard C13T138192 black cartridge, making multi-pack replacements the practical choice. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
Epson calculates page yields using ISO/IEC 24711 standards for inkjet printing, based on continuous printing of standard five-percent coverage test pages. Routine office documents rich in body text consume C13T138192 black ink faster than full-page graphics, while C13T138292, C13T138392, and C13T138492 colour cartridges deplete gradually during balanced colour printing.

| 138 | High Yield | Cyan | 420 | $0.032 |
| 138 | High Yield | Magenta | 420 | $0.032 |

Practical Cartridge Insight

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when the C13T671100 maintenance box fills up?
The printer displays a maintenance box full message and stops printing to prevent ink spillage. Replacing the C13T671100 module immediately restores printer functionality.
Can I replace single 138 colour cartridges individually as they run out?
Yes, the WorkForce WF-3530 uses individual ink slots for C13T138292 Cyan, C13T138392 Magenta, and C13T138492 Yellow. You only need to replace the specific colour that is empty.
How does switching between text printing and photo graphics affect 138 cartridge depletion rates?
Standard text printing draws primarily from the C13T138192 black cartridge at standard ISO coverage rates. Printing graphics or heavy photos uses all four ink channels simultaneously, depleting colour cartridges faster.
