Epson 279XL Ink Cartridge 6-Pack Bundle – Black & Colours
The Epson 279XL Ink Cartridge 6-Pack Bundle provides a complete set of six individual ink cartridges for the Epson Expression Photo XP-980 printer.
The bundle includes Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Light Cyan and Light Magenta, giving you all six cartridges required for the XP-980 ink system in one convenient pack. It is ideal for customers who want to keep a complete replacement set on hand rather than purchasing each colour separately.
The Black cartridge has a published yield of up to 500 pages, while the colour range has a published yield of up to 740 pages. The colour figure may be based on composite colour testing and should not be interpreted as a guaranteed 740-page yield from each individual colour cartridge.

Why Six Ink Colours?
The Epson Expression Photo XP-980 uses a six-colour ink system, adding Light Cyan and Light Magenta to the standard Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow cartridges.
The additional lighter colours help the printer reproduce smoother tonal transitions and more subtle colour gradations when printing photographs. Light Cyan assists with lighter blue and cyan areas, while Light Magenta contributes to smoother pink, magenta and skin-tone transitions.
Individual Cartridge Replacement
Although this bundle provides all six cartridges together, the XP-980 uses individually replaceable cartridges.
You do not need to install all six cartridges at the same time. Each cartridge can be stored until the corresponding colour in your printer requires replacement.
For best storage, leave unused cartridges sealed in their original packaging until required and keep them in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
Page Yield Information
The Black cartridge has a published yield of up to 500 pages, while the 279XL colour range has a published yield of up to 740 pages.
Colour yields may be determined using composite colour testing, where multiple colour cartridges are used together under standardised test conditions. The 740-page figure should therefore not be treated as an individual guaranteed yield for each Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Light Cyan and Light Magenta cartridge.
Actual ink usage varies depending on photographs and documents being printed, page coverage, print quality settings, frequency of use and printer maintenance.
Installing Your Epson Ink Cartridges
When replacing an ink cartridge:
- Keep the printer switched on and follow its cartridge replacement procedure.
- Replace only the cartridge indicated by the printer.
- Open the replacement cartridge only when you are ready to install it.
- Remove only the protective material specified in the cartridge instructions.
- Insert the cartridge into the correct colour position and ensure it is properly seated.
- Allow the printer to complete its cartridge recognition and ink preparation process.
Avoid touching the cartridge chip or ink supply areas when handling the cartridges.
Maintaining Print Quality
If you notice banding, missing colours or uneven print quality, use the printer’s nozzle check before performing a print-head cleaning.
Only run cleaning cycles when necessary. Print-head cleaning and other automatic printer maintenance procedures use ink from the installed cartridges and can reduce cartridge life.
Printer Firmware Updates
Epson may periodically release firmware updates relating to printer functionality, maintenance, security or compatibility.
If the printer displays an unexpected cartridge recognition message after an update, check that each cartridge is correctly seated and confirm that the cartridge product numbers are suitable for the Epson Expression Photo XP-980 before carrying out further troubleshooting.
