17 times more prints is comparing Epson XXL inks (50,000 pages Black / 20,000 colour) with the average highest yield toner of the top 4 highest selling MFP’s in 0-35ppm speed segment in the Australian market (Source :IDC October 2018).

2Replacement ink pack yields are estimated based on ISO/IEC 24711 test in Default Mode printing continuously. Ink pack yields vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print settings, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently. Ink is used for printing and printer maintenance, and ink has to be installed for printing. For print quality, part of the ink from the included ink packs is used for printer startup and a variable amount of ink remains in the ink pack after the "replace ink pack" signal. For details, see www.epson.com/inkinfo

3Not all media types are supported for PCL printing.

4Monthly duty cycle up to 50,000 is the highest duty a user could expect in a month, based on near constant operation of a device of this kind. It is not recommended that the device be run at this duty. For best device performance, run the device at the recommended duty of up to 4500 pages per month.
