Key Features of Epson 012 Black Ink Bottle 70ml

1. Genuine Epson Original Black Ink

The Epson 012 Black Ink Bottle contains original Epson pigment ink developed for compatible Epson printing systems.

Genuine Epson ink is formulated to work with the printer’s designated printhead and ink delivery components.

Using the correct manufacturer-recommended ink helps maintain compatibility and supports consistent print results when the printer is operated according to Epson’s instructions.

2. Pigment-Based Black Ink Technology

The Epson 012 BK Ink Bottle uses a pigment-based black ink formulation.

Pigment Black ink is particularly suitable for printing text-heavy documents and materials requiring clear, readable black output.

Typical printing applications include:

• Business letters
• Office reports
• School assignments
• College projects
• Invoices and statements
• Administrative documents
• Forms and records
• Professional correspondence

Actual output depends on the printer, paper type, document content and print settings.

3. Sharp and Clear Text Printing

The Epson 012 Pigment Black ink is designed to support sharp black text and well-defined document details.

Clear printing is important when producing documents containing small fonts, tables, financial figures and technical information.

The original Epson formulation helps deliver consistent results when used with compatible printing equipment and appropriate media.

4. Convenient 70ml Ink Capacity

The Epson 012 Black Original Pigment Ink Bottle contains 70ml of ink.

Its refillable bottle format allows users to replenish the corresponding black ink reservoir in supported EcoTank printers.

This makes it a practical replacement consumable for homes, businesses, educational institutions and professional users.

The number of pages produced from one bottle depends on print coverage, print quality settings, printer maintenance and other operating conditions.

5. Designed for Epson EcoTank Photo Printers

The Epson 012 Pigment Black ink is intended for compatible Epson EcoTank photo printing systems.

Epson’s official online store specifically lists the EcoTank L8180 for the C13T07K198 bottle.

The related EcoTank L8160 also uses a six-colour photo printing system, but buyers should independently verify the exact Pigment Black refill code for their regional printer configuration before purchasing.

Different Epson EcoTank models may use different black ink bottles, even when the printers have a similar appearance.

6. Part of a Six-Colour Ink System

The Epson EcoTank photo printing platform uses separate ink channels to support both document and photographic printing.

Its six-colour configuration includes:

• Pigment Black
• Photo Black
• Cyan
• Magenta
• Yellow
• Gray

The Epson 012 Black Pigment Ink Bottle replenishes the Pigment Black reservoir only.

The dedicated Photo Black ink has a different formulation and product code.

7. Pigment Black vs Photo Black

It is important to understand the difference between the two black ink bottles in the Epson 012 family.

Pigment Black – C13T07K198

Designed primarily for document-oriented printing and sharp black text.

Dye Black / Photo Black – C13T07J198

A separate dye-based black ink used as part of compatible photographic printing systems.

Do not pour Pigment Black into the Photo Black tank or substitute one bottle for the other.

8. Suitable for Home and Office Printing

The Epson 012 Black Ink Bottle 70ml is useful for printing business and everyday documents on supported Epson printers.

It can help meet printing requirements in:

• Corporate offices
• Home offices
• Educational institutions
• Small businesses
• Professional workspaces
• Design studios
• Retail establishments

Using the original ink formulation helps ensure that the printer receives the black ink intended for its designated tank.

9. Convenient Ink Refilling

The Epson 012 Black bottle is designed for replenishing the dedicated Pigment Black ink reservoir.

For correct refilling:

• Confirm that the printer requires C13T07K198.
• Identify the correct Pigment Black ink tank.
• Check the current ink level.
• Follow Epson’s official refill instructions.
• Avoid mixing Pigment Black and Photo Black.
• Do not mix ink from different Epson series.
• Close the bottle and printer tank securely after refilling.

Always refer to the printer’s user manual before handling ink.

10. Professional Business Document Printing

The Epson 012 Pigment Black formulation is suitable for professional text-based printing.

Businesses can use compatible printers to produce clear documents, letters, reports, records and administrative paperwork.

Pigment-based black ink helps support well-defined black text, particularly when used with paper and printer settings recommended by Epson.

11. Useful for Educational Printing

Schools, colleges, training centres and students often need to print reports, assignments, worksheets and study materials.

The Epson 012 Black Original Ink Bottle supports these requirements when used in a compatible Epson printer.

Its genuine formulation makes it an appropriate consumable for maintaining the designated black ink supply.

12. Consistent Printing Performance

Original Epson ink is developed to work with the manufacturer’s compatible printing system.

Using the recommended ink helps support dependable operation when the printer receives proper maintenance.

Regular printing, suitable paper selection, correct ink levels and appropriate printhead maintenance are also important for preserving print quality.

13. Separate Pigment Black Replacement

This product contains one Epson 012 Pigment Black Original Ink Bottle with a 70ml capacity.

It does not include Photo Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow or Gray ink.

Each remaining colour requires its own compatible Epson original ink bottle.
