Office black

Epson

Epson T222 Original Standard Yield Inkjet Ink Cartridge

T222120-S

The black cartridge of the T222 standard-yield family, the volume line on any document workload. Order black separately and in quantity — on plain-paper printing it depletes several times faster than any single colour.

Colour companion

Epson

Epson T222 Original Standard Yield Inkjet Ink Cartridge

T222220-S

The cyan cartridge of the same T222 standard-yield family, so a machine can be kept on one cartridge code across all four positions. Keeping the family consistent is what makes a stock cupboard manageable.

High-yield pick

Epson

Epson DURABrite Ultra 288XL High Yield Inkjet Ink Cartridge

T288XL220-S

A DURABrite Ultra 288XL high-yield cyan cartridge. XL is the default worth making on any printer that runs regularly: the cost per page falls sharply and the machine is interrupted less often, which is the part that costs a workday.

Photo black

Epson

Epson DURABrite Ultra 410 Original Standard Yield Inkjet Ink Cartridge

T410120-S

A DURABrite Ultra 410 photo black cartridge, for the six-colour machines that carry a photo black alongside the standard one. Worth knowing about before it runs out, because on those models an empty photo black stops the printer.

Pigment ink pick

Epson

Epson UltraChrome D6r-S T54C Original Inkjet Ink Cartridge

T54C120

An UltraChrome D6r-S black cartridge at 70 mL — the professional pigment line rather than the office one. This is the ink a graphics or large-format machine takes, and it is not interchangeable with the DURABrite or Claria families.

Impact ribbon

Epson

Epson Ribbon Cartridge

ERC-38B

A black dot-matrix ribbon cartridge rated by the manufacturer at 3,000,000 characters. Impact printing is still how receipts, multipart forms and many warehouse and point-of-sale processes work, and the consumable is a ribbon rather than a cartridge.

Ribbon part numbers are model-specific in a way ink cartridges are not — confirm against the printer's own manual before a bulk order.

Reordering Epson supplies goes wrong in one specific way: the cartridge code. Epson names its cartridges by a T-number and a colour digit — T222 and T222XL are the same family at two yields, and the last digit of the part number is the colour — so a reorder that copies the printer model instead of the cartridge code produces a box that does not fit. The reliable method is to read the code off the cartridge already in the machine, not off the printer, and to order that code with the yield you want.

The second decision is yield, and it is arithmetic rather than preference. A standard cartridge and its XL sibling hold different volumes at different prices, and the cost per page usually favours the XL by a wide margin on any printer that runs regularly. Where standard yield still makes sense is a low-volume machine whose ink will sit long enough to be a shelf-life question, or a device kept for occasional use where the up-front cost matters more than the per-page one. On a fleet, the XL is almost always the right default.

The third is which ink line the machine takes, because Epson runs several with genuinely different purposes. DURABrite Ultra is the pigment ink in most business inkjets and is the one that resists water and highlighter on plain paper. Claria is the dye-based line aimed at photo output. UltraChrome is the professional pigment line for larger-format and graphics work. And the dot-matrix ribbons are still here because impact printing has not gone away in receipt, multipart-form and warehouse applications. Match the line to the printer, not to the price, and put the consumables, the printers themselves and any managed-print or lifecycle service on one quote so the reorder cycle is planned rather than reactive.

Buyer's checklist

How to order Epson supplies without a wrong-box return

  • Read the cartridge code off the cartridge in the machine, not off the printer model. The code is what the order needs.
  • Decide standard versus XL on cost per page, not sticker price — on any printer that runs regularly the XL usually wins by a wide margin.
  • Match the ink line to the machine: DURABrite Ultra for business documents, Claria for photo output, UltraChrome for professional and larger-format work.
  • Buy black separately and in quantity. On document printing it depletes several times faster than any colour, and colour multipacks leave black short.
  • Check whether the machine takes a photo black in addition to the standard black — six-colour models do, and running one dry stops the printer.
  • For impact printers, confirm the ribbon part number against the printer's own manual; ribbon cartridges are model-specific in a way ink is not.
  • Hold a spares position per machine rather than reordering at empty — a printer with no cartridge is a stopped process, not an inconvenience.
  • Standardise the fleet on as few cartridge families as the print requirement allows, so the stock cupboard is small and the reorder list is short.

If you came here looking for Epson toner

It is a reasonable search and the honest answer is that Epson's business printing range in this catalog is inkjet and impact rather than laser. That is a deliberate position on Epson's part: its business machines use pigment inkjet technology precisely as an alternative to laser, and the argument it makes for them is lower power draw, fewer consumable components and no fuser to replace. So the consumable is a cartridge, not a toner unit.

Practically, that means two things. If you are matching a supplies order to an existing Epson business printer, the part you want is on this page and it is an ink cartridge. If you specifically need laser toner — because the fleet is standardised on laser, or a particular device requires it — the sibling guides cover the makers whose laser lines we carry, and the whole-category strip below this page's picks is unrestricted by brand.

DURABrite, Claria and UltraChrome are not interchangeable

DURABrite Ultra is a pigment ink and it is what most Epson business inkjets take. Pigment sits on the surface of the paper rather than soaking in, which is why it resists water and highlighter on ordinary office stock and why it is the right ink for documents that get filed, signed or handled. For anything that has to survive an office, it is the line to buy.

Claria is dye-based and aimed at photo output, where its strength is colour range and smoothness on coated media rather than durability on plain paper. UltraChrome is the professional pigment family used in graphics and larger-format machines, with a wider gamut and a different formulation again. None of the three is a substitute for another — the machine takes what it takes, and the cartridge code is the thing that tells you which. Buying on price across families is the fastest route to a box that will not seat.

Planning consumables for a print fleet

The costly part of running printers is almost never the printers. It is the consumables, the interruptions when one runs out mid-job, and the administrative overhead of many small reorders. The fix is unglamorous: know which cartridge code each machine takes, hold a spares position per machine rather than per site, and reorder on a schedule rather than at empty. A machine standing idle waiting for a cartridge is a stopped process, and it usually stops something that matters more than the cartridge cost.

The other lever is standardisation. Every additional cartridge family in a fleet is another line in the cupboard, another thing to run out of, and another chance to order the wrong box. Consolidating onto fewer printer models with shared consumables is often worth more than any per-cartridge saving. Uniqcli quotes supplies alongside the printers themselves and any managed-print, deployment or lifecycle service, so a fleet is planned as one thing rather than reordered a box at a time.

FAQ

Common questions

Does Epson make toner cartridges?
Not for the business range carried here. Epson's business printing line is built around pigment inkjet and impact technology as a deliberate alternative to laser, and the argument for it is lower power draw, fewer consumable components and no fuser to replace — so the consumable is an ink cartridge or a ribbon rather than a toner unit. If you are matching supplies to an existing Epson business printer, the part you need is an ink cartridge. If your fleet genuinely requires laser toner, the sibling brand guides cover the makers whose laser lines we carry.
What is the difference between DURABrite Ultra and Claria ink?
DURABrite Ultra is a pigment ink that sits on the paper surface, which makes it resistant to water and highlighter on ordinary office stock — the right choice for documents that get filed, signed or handled. Claria is dye-based and aimed at photo output, where colour range and smoothness on coated media matter more than durability on plain paper. UltraChrome is a third, professional pigment family for graphics and larger-format machines. They are not interchangeable: the printer takes the family its cartridge code specifies.
Is high-yield Epson ink actually cheaper?
On any printer that runs regularly, yes — usually by a wide margin on cost per page, and it also means fewer interruptions, which is the part that costs a workday rather than a few dollars. The exception is a genuinely low-volume machine where a large cartridge would sit long enough for shelf life to become the question, or a device kept for occasional use where the up-front price matters more than the per-page one. For a fleet, default to XL and treat standard yield as the exception.
How do I find the right Epson cartridge for my printer?
Read the code off the cartridge currently in the machine rather than off the printer model. Epson names cartridges by a T-number plus a colour digit, and the same printer often accepts a standard and an XL version of the same family — T222 and T222XL, for example. Matching on the printer model alone is the most common cause of a wrong-box return, because one model can span several cartridge families across its production life. If the machine is new and unopened, the manual states the code.
Can Uniqcli quote Epson supplies for a government or education order?
