Choosing Epson 522 ink starts with the printer's full model number and specified ink family. This guide identifies the 15 Epson EcoTank models on Starink's U.S. compatibility list, compares the Black + Color 6-Pack with the Black-only 3-Pack, and explains bottle volumes, tank refilling, storage, and common refill checks.
This is a U.S. compatibility guide. Read the complete model number on the printer label or settings screen and confirm that the printer specifies Epson 522 ink before ordering.
Starink's reviewed U.S. list includes Epson EcoTank ET-1910, ET-1913, ET-2400, ET-2410, ET-2418, ET-2720, ET-2800, ET-2803, ET-2840, ET-2900, ET-2903, ET-4700, ET-4800, ET-4810, and ET-4903.
The Epson 522 6-Pack contains three Black bottles plus Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. The Epson 522 Black 3-Pack contains three Black bottles and no color ink.
These are refill bottles for built-in EcoTank reservoirs, not replacement cartridges. The refill process therefore does not involve a cartridge chip or chip transfer.
Starink reviewed the model list, pack contents, bottle volumes, and refill guidance on September 4, 2026.
Use the four groups below to locate the exact model printed on your device. Similar ET numbers do not by themselves establish compatibility; the individual model should appear in this list and the printer should specify the 522 ink family.
Both packs use the same reviewed printer list. The difference is the ink-color mix: the 6-Pack supplies Black plus the three color tanks, while the 3-Pack supplies Black only.

Choose by the tank colors that need ink. The Black 3-Pack does not contain color ink. This comparison does not assign a universal page yield because output can vary with coverage, settings, maintenance cycles, printing frequency, and the colors used.
Each bottle should be used only with the matching tank. The volume figures below describe the Starink pack configuration and are not presented as a fixed print-output promise.
The Black 3-Pack contains no Cyan, Magenta, or Yellow. If a color tank is low, use the 6-Pack or another product intended for that specific color need.
Epson EcoTank printers store ink in built-in reservoirs. A refill bottle adds ink directly to a matching reservoir, so the product format and setup differ from a replacement cartridge.
This bottle format is why cartridge-recognition and firmware-compatibility claims are not used to describe these two products. Printer condition, tank condition, ink level, and maintenance settings can still affect printed output.
Storage should help keep bottles upright, closed, and protected from major temperature changes. Follow any additional directions printed on the bottle or packaging.
If ink reaches skin, clothing, furniture, or another surface, follow the bottle label and the surface manufacturer's cleaning guidance.
If refilling does not go as expected, start with the ink number, color match, tank level, and printer maintenance information before adding more ink.

Choose the pack by the tank colors that need ink. The first option supplies Black plus all three colors; the second option is Black only.
A six-bottle option for the listed Epson EcoTank printers when Black and color tanks need ink. It includes extra Black alongside one bottle for each color tank.
A Black-only restocking option for the same listed Epson EcoTank printers. Choose it when the Black tank needs ink and the three color tanks do not.
Share the full printer model and the tank colors that need ink. Our support team can help compare the Black + Color 6-Pack with the Black-only 3-Pack before you order.
Starink's U.S. compatibility list includes Epson EcoTank ET-1910, ET-1913, ET-2400, ET-2410, ET-2418, ET-2720, ET-2800, ET-2803, ET-2840, ET-2900, ET-2903, ET-4700, ET-4800, ET-4810, and ET-4903. Confirm the printer's full model number and its specified ink number before ordering.
The 6-Pack contains three 140ml Black refill bottles and one 70ml bottle each of Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. It is the option in this guide that supplies all four tank colors.
No. The Black 3-Pack contains three 140ml Black refill bottles. It does not include Cyan, Magenta, or Yellow ink.
Each Black bottle contains 140ml. Each Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow bottle included in the 6-Pack contains 70ml. These volumes should not be converted into one universal page-yield claim because print output varies by use.
No cartridge chip is involved in the refill step. These products are bottles used to add ink to an EcoTank printer's built-in tanks, not replacement ink cartridges.
They should not be treated as interchangeable. Epson 522 and Epson 502 are different ink-number families associated with different printer groups. Use the number specified for the exact printer model.
No. The Starink Epson 522 bottles described in this guide are sold for standard document and color printing in the listed EcoTank printers. They are not labeled or marketed as sublimation ink.
Close the cap securely, keep the bottle upright in a dry indoor location, and protect it from direct sunlight, freezing temperatures, excessive heat, and access by children or pets. Follow the bottle label for any additional storage instructions.
Keep the bottle upright, protect nearby surfaces, and contact Starink support. If your bottle leaks, contact us for a free replacement. Providing the order number and a photo can help support review the issue.
Choose the 6-Pack when Black and one or more color tanks need ink. Choose the Black 3-Pack when only the Black tank needs restocking and the color tanks have enough ink. Both packs use the same reviewed printer list.
Compatibility and Starink product specifications last reviewed: September 4, 2026.
The compatibility scope is intentionally limited to the 15 named U.S.-market models. An unlisted printer should be checked independently rather than inferred from a similar model number. Page output is not stated as one fixed value for every bottle because real-world results depend on the print job and printer use.
