EPSON 005 BLACK INK BOTTLE ORGINAL

Product Description

EPSON 005 BLACK INK BOTTLE

The Epson 005 Black Ink Bottle (Official SKU: C13T03Q198 / T03Q1) is a high-capacity original equipment manufacturer (OEM) liquid replenishment bottle engineered for mid-to-high tier Epson EcoTank monochrome continuous ink supply systems (CISS). [1, 2]

Unlike general-purpose dye inks, the 005 formulation features a premium pigment-based ink chemistry. This design produces sharp text boundaries that mimic laser-printing standards while providing resistance to water, highlighters, and smudging. [1, 2, 3, 5]

Technical Specifications & Features

• Ink Code & Model: Epson T03Q1 (005 Black).

• Print Technology: Fluid Inkjet (EcoTank / M-Series Storage Systems).

• Ink Composition: High-density Pigment Black for durable document archiving.

• Fluid Reservoir Volume: 120 ml container capacity.

• Standard Page Yield: Delivers up to 6,000 standard text pages at an ISO certified 5% baseline A4 page coverage metric.

• Physical Smart Valve Design: Engineered with a strict spill-free and drip-free auto-stop nozzle. The neck structure uses unique physical key slots that match only the black tank port profile on supported monochrome printers, preventing accidental leaks. [1, 3, 4, 5]

Critical Refill Guide: Gravity-Fed Operation [1]

When refilling your EcoTank machine, do not squeeze the walls of the Epson 005 bottle. Simply open the internal tank cap, invert the bottle, and insert its keyed nozzle directly into the port. A built-in pressure valve opens naturally, allowing gravity to empty the ink into the well. The flow mechanically shuts off the exact second the liquid touches the internal maximum fill line. Squeezing or force-pumping the bottle will distort the safety threshold and flood the internal physical chassis. [1, 2]
