I like to prep new cartridges over a trashcan because sometimes a little bit of ink can escape when I am unwrapping them.\u00a0 The first thing you will want to remove the orange tape on the bottom of the cartridge.\u00a0 Gently pull on the tape to remove, this will expose the vent hole on the cartridge so it can work properly in your machine.\u00a0 Be sure to avoid touching the gold contact chip when handling the new cartridge.\u00a0 This chip is very sensitive and it may not read properly if residue or fingerprint oil gets on those contact points.<\/li>\n<li>Install the cyan cartridge. The \u201cC\u201d on the cartridge should line up with the \u201cC\u201d in the machine.\u00a0 When we tried installing this cartridge, we noticed that the cartridge fit seemed a bit snug.\u00a0 This is normal, the cartridge should fit as expected, just line it up in the slot and gently press on it so that it clicks in place.<\/li>\n<li>Close up the top cover and we are ready to start printing.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ldproducts.com?xid=tmd:blog:banner&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_source=ldblog&amp;utm_campaign=morepages\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9186 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ldproducts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ld_bnr_blog_PrintMore_2020_728x90.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Epson 802 \/ 802XL Ink Cartridge Specs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The 802 cartridges series are sold in black, cyan, magenta and yellow.\u00a0 Epson offers them in a standard and high yield, or 802XL cartridge size.\u00a0 If you print regularly, you are better off going with the XL cartridge, giving you a better overall value due to the higher print capacity.\u00a0 All of the cartridges contain pigment-based ink, which offer a crisp finish and quicker dry-time compared to dye-based cartridges.\u00a0 Each cartridge can be replaced as needed, which should help space out replacement costs overtime.\u00a0 We\u2019ve listed the page yield of each cartridge below.\u00a0 Keep in mind that cartridge page yield is just an approximation of printed pages.\u00a0 The page yield for any ink cartridge is given at a standard 5% coverage, or printed pages where only 5% of the page has been imprinted with ink, so yield results will vary across users!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ldproducts.com\/remanufactured-epson-t802120-black-ink-cartridge?xid=tmd:blog:&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_source=ldblog&amp;utm_campaign=4342:T802120\"><strong>Epson 802 Black Cartridge <\/strong><strong>(T802120)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Page yield: approx. 900 pages<\/li>\n<li>OEM ink type: pigmented<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ldproducts.com\/remanufactured-epson-t802xl220-cyan-ink-cartridge?xid=tmd:blog:&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_source=ldblog&amp;utm_campaign=4342:T802XL220\"><strong>Epson 802 Cyan Cartridge <\/strong><strong>(T802220)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Page yield: approx. \u00a0650 pages<\/li>\n<li>OEM ink type: pigmented<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ldproducts.com\/remanufactured-epson-t802xl320-magenta-ink-cartridge?xid=tmd:blog:&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_source=ldblog&amp;utm_campaign=4342:T802XL320\"><strong>Epson 802 Magenta Cartridge <\/strong><strong>(T802320)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Page yield: approx. \u00a0650 pages<\/li>\n<li>OEM ink type: pigmented<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ldproducts.com\/remanufactured-epson-t802xl420-yellow-ink-cartridge?xid=tmd:blog:&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_source=ldblog&amp;utm_campaign=4342:T802420\"><strong>Epson 802 Yellow Cartridge (T802420)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Page yield: approx. \u00a0650 pages<\/li>\n<li>OEM ink type: pigmented<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ldproducts.com\/remanufactured-epson-t802xl420-yellow-ink-cartridge?xid=tmd:blog:&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_source=ldblog&amp;utm_campaign=4342:T802420\"><strong>Epson 802XL High Yield Black Cartridge (T802XL120-S)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Page yield: approx. \u00a02,600 pages<\/li>\n<li>OEM ink type: pigmented<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ldproducts.com\/remanufactured-epson-t802xl220-cyan-ink-cartridge?xid=tmd:blog:&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_source=ldblog&amp;utm_campaign=4342:Epson802XL\"><strong>Epson 802XL High Yield Cyan Cartridge (<\/strong><strong>T802XL220)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Page yield: approx. \u00a01,900 pages<\/li>\n<li>OEM ink type: pigmented<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ldproducts.com\/remanufactured-epson-t802xl320-magenta-ink-cartridge?xid=tmd:blog:&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_source=ldblog&amp;utm_campaign=4342:epson802XL\"><strong>Epson 802XL High Yield Magenta Cartridge (T802XL320)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Page yield: approx. \u00a01,900 pages<\/li>\n<li>OEM ink type: pigmented<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ldproducts.com\/remanufactured-epson-t802xl420-yellow-ink-cartridge?xid=tmd:blog:&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_source=ldblog&amp;utm_campaign=4342:epson802XL\"><strong>Epson 802XL High Yield Yellow Cartridge (T802XL420)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Page yield: approx. \u00a01,900 pages<\/li>\n<li>OEM ink type: pigmented<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How to Save on Epson 802 Ink Replacements<\/h2>\n<p>Ink cartridges can get expensive.\u00a0 To save money, consider buying compatible Epson 802XL ink cartridge replacements by LD Products at <strong>prices that are 50% lower than original Epson cartridges<\/strong>.
