1 Yields based on the ISO/IEC 24712 pattern with Epson's methodology. Actual ink yields will vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print settings, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently or predominantly with one ink colour. All ink colours are used for printing and printer maintenance, and all colours must be available for printing so an additional black (K) bottle may be required to reach stated colour (C, M, Y) yields.
2 Individual cartridges estimate based on print yields of replacement black and colour ink bottles as compared to Epson standard-capacity ink cartridges for similarly featured printers as of August 2019.
3 Based on average monthly print volumes of about 300 pages
4 Most features require an Internet connection to the printer, as well as an Internet- and/or email-enabled device. See www.epson.co.nz/connect for a list of Epson Connect enabled printers and compatible devices and apps.
5 WiFi CERTIFIED™, level of performance subject to the range of the router being used. WiFi Direct may require printer software.
6 Black and colour print speeds are measured in accordance with ISO/IEC 24734. Actual print times will vary based on system configuration, software, and page complexity. See www.epson.co.nz/printspeed for details, including complete ISO reports.
7 12 months of standard Return to Base warranty. For an additional 24 months (making a total of 36 months),you must register on www.epson.co.nz/register_product/ within 12 months of purchase.
* Actual savings and costs will vary considerably based on print tasks, print volumes and usage conditions. Savings and cost per ISO page are based on the cost of replacement ink bottles and the cost of enough standard cartridges to achieve the total page yields of the bottles using the RRP (NZD) and yields for Epson standard-capacity ink cartridges for similarly featured Epson consumer inkjet printers as of August 2019.
