Notes:

*1 Print speed (Pages Per Minute) is calculated when printed on A4 plain paper in the fastest mode, 10 x 15 cm photo print speed when printed on Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper. Print speed may vary depending on system configuration, print mode, document complexity, software, type of paper used and connectivity. Print speed does not include processing time on host computer.

*2 When printed on Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper.

*3 Borderless printing is supported up to 4R (4 x 6"), otherwise 3 mm top, left, right, bottom.

*4 Default mode in accordance with ISO7779 for MFPs.

*5 Quoted yields are based on the ISO 24711/24712 patterns of mixed text and colour graphics with Epson methodology. Quoted yields are based on the replacement ink bottles purchased. For print quality, part of the ink from the included bottles is used for printer startup so yields could be lower than those of replacement ink bottles. Actual yields will vary due to reasons including images printed, print settings, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently or predominantly with one ink colour. Ink is used for both printing and printhead maintenance. All inks are used for both black and colour printing.
