Epson XP-405 Ink Cartridges

Customer Questions & Answers

• Using an XP-405 printer, what would be the cost of an A4 full colour print using high capacity cartridges please?

  Epson XP-405 cost-per-photo

  Epson only provide a page yield for XP-405 ink cartridges which is based on printing at 5% coverage of an A4 page. Unfortunately, we're unable to calculate the cost of a full A4 sheet for you.

• Are these genuine Epson XP405 ink cartridges?

  Genuine Epson XP-405 inks?

  We sell both genuine and compatible ink cartridges for the Epson Expression Home XP-405 printer. To distinguish between them is fairly straightforward. Any item listed as "Genuine" and has the official EPSON logo is a brand new and original Epson XP-405 ink cartridge. Any item listed as "Premium brand" is made by a third-party manufacturer and is a non-genuine cartridge. You'll also notice that the images for original Epson XP-405 ink show the official Epson Daisy packaging as opposed to the compatible XP-405 cartridge images which have no Epson branding.

• I bought an XP-405 printer and also bought spare ink cartridges but they don't appear to be the correct ones. I have the T1285 multipack - are they the wrong ones?

  Epson XP-405 cartridge compatibility

  Unfortunately, the Epson T1285 multipack cartridges aren't compatible with the Epson Expression Home XP-405 printer. The only cartridges designed for use in the Epson XP-405 printer are listed on this page and the multipack part numbers are T1806 or T1816.

• I've just bought an Epson XP405 printer. Which multipack of ink do I buy? Thanks.

  Epson XP-405 multipack purchase

  This will depend on your printing budget and how many pages you're likely to print. We currently sell three different multipacks for the Epson XP-405 printer. Two of these multipacks contain high capacity 18XL ink cartridges so if you print regularly and want cartridges that last longer then you should buy a high capacity 18XL ink multipack. The only difference between the high capacity multipacks is that one set contains genuine Epson 18XL ink cartridges whereas the other set contains premium brand compatible Epson 18XL ink cartridges which are cheaper because they're made by a third-party manufacturer rather than Epson. We also have a genuine Epson 18 ink multipack which contains all four colours in standard capacity cartridges. Please click on the links below to see each of these items in order for you to decide which one you'd like to purchase:

• As I only use black ink in my Epson XP405 printer, what would be the cheapest way to refill it? Could I install all black cartridges? Thanks.

  Cheap Epson XP-405 black cartridge

  The Epson XP-405 is a colour inkjet printer that requires you to have all four of the separate black, cyan, magenta and yellow ink cartridges installed with ink in each cartridge. It's not possible to install more than one black cartridge into this printer. We advise that the cheapest way to run this printer for black only use is to keep the colour cartridges installed with some ink and only replace the black cartridge when it runs out. Our cheapest Epson XP-405 black ink cartridge is the compatible Epson T1811 high capacity black ink cartridge which can be ordered from the following page of our website: https://www.cartridgesave.co.uk/T1811-CPT.html

• How do I connect my Epson XP405 to my MacBook Air?

  Epson XP-405 printer connections

  We only specialise in supplying the Epson XP-405 ink cartridges and consumables. The Epson Expression Home XP-405 printer should be compatible with Apple AirPrint. However, you need to refer to your Epson XP-405 printer manual for connectivity settings. We've attached a link to the relevant support page on the Epson website where you can download the XP-405 user manual if necessary: http://www.epson.co.uk/gb/en/viewcon/corporatesite/products/mainunits/support/11541

• I'm getting white (unprinted) horizontal double lines when I print or photocopy. Do I need to clean my Epson XP405 printheads?

  Epson XP-405 printhead cleaning

  Have you a cleaning cycle incase you have dried ink in the machine? Is the machine advising a cartridge is running low or needs replacing at all?

• I still have one third of the capacity left in my black XP-405 cartridge but nothing in my colours. Should my Epson XP405 printer still print in black or does it need access to all colours, even when printing in black?

  Replacing Epson XP-405 ink cartridges

  the Epson Expression Home XP-405 is a four colour inkjet printer so you'll need to have the black, cyan, magenta and yellow inks all installed in the correct slots with some remaining ink in each cartridge in order to print in black or colour. You should only need to replace whichever colour(s) run out in your Epson XP-405 printer.

• If the black XP-405 ink cartridge has run out while the rest of the colour XP-405 ink cartridges are still full, can I replace the black ink cartridge only?

  Epson XP-405 ink replacement

  Yes, the Epson XP-405 ink cartridges are designed to be replaced individually so you only need to replace the colour that runs out, provided there is some remaining ink in the other cartridges.
