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.

You will need to contact Epson directly as we don't have the required tools to help you with this query I'm afraid. Please contact Epson directly on 01952 607 111

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.

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?

Yes, we would advise you to try running a printhead cleaning cycle for your Epson XP-405 printer for any print quality concerns that aren't resolved by changing the ink cartridges. Please refer to your Epson XP-405 printer manual for further instructions: http://www.epson.co.uk/gb/en/viewcon/corporatesite/products/mainunits/support/11541

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

Unfortunately, our premium brand compatible Epson XP-405 cartridges were temporarily unavailable. However, we're pleased to confirm that you can now order compatible Epson 18XL ink cartridges for use in the Epson Expression Home XP-405 printer from this page again, or by using the following link: http://www.cartridgesave.co.uk/T1816-CPT.html

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: http://www.cartridgesave.co.uk/T1811-CPT.html

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:

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. To see all the printers that are compatible with the Epson T1285 multipack please click on the following link and a full list of compatible printers is given below the heading "This item is guaranteed to work in the following printers:" http://www.cartridgesave.co.uk/C13T12854010.html

The volume of ink in the genuine high capacity Epson XP-405 ink cartridges is as follows:

High capacity black Epson T1811 ink cartridge: 11.5ml

High capacity cyan Epson T1812 ink cartridge: 6.6ml

High capacity magenta Epson T1813 ink cartridge: 6.6ml

High capacity yellow Epson T1814 ink cartridge: 6.6ml

The pack you're referring to is the compatible Epson XP-405 ink cartridges. The ink capacity of our compatible Epson T1816 cartridges for the XP-405 printer is the same as the gneuin cartridges as follows: Black: 11.5ml Cyan: 6.6ml Magenta: 6.6ml Yellow: 6.6ml

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.

Unfortunately, we don't provide technical support for printers so we suggest that you contact Epson with this type of enquiry about the XP-405 printer. We've attached a link to their UK website for your reference: http://www.epson.co.uk/gb/en/viewcon/corporatesite/cms/index/6

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.
