FAQs about Epson ColorWorks C4000 Ink Cartridges
Q: Are these inks water-resistant?
A: Yes. All Epson C4000 ink cartridges use pigment-based ink designed to resist water, smudging and light abrasion.
Q: Can I use gloss and matte black ink interchangeably in the same printer?
A: No. The C4000 must be configured for either gloss or matte black ink — not both. Check your printer version before ordering.
Q: How can I tell if my Epson C4000 printer is for matte or gloss printing?
A: Check the specific model number on the printer. The matte version of the Epson 4000 label printer is C31CH76A9981, while the gloss version is C31CK03A9991. You may also check your old cartridge or your printer settings.
Q: Can I use third party cartridges on my C4000 printer?
A: No, only genuine Epson-brand ink cartridges should be used with this printer. Other brands of ink cartridges and ink supplies are not compatible and, even if described as compatible, may not function properly or at all.
Q: What is your return policy for Epson ColorWorks cartridges?
A: All sales are final. Due to manufacturer restrictions, iD Partner Portal cannot accept returns.
Key Buying Considerations for Epson Ink
Printer compatibility: Designed specifically for use with Epson ColorWorks label printers. Always match the cartridge series (e.g., SJIC41P, SJIC35P) to your printer model.
Gloss or matte black ink: Gloss and matte black ink cartridges are not interchangeable in your Epson ColorWorks label printer. Select the correct finish based on your printer’s configuration.
Use genuine Epson ink: Do not replace with third-party alternatives. Non-Epson ink can damage your printer, void warranties and degrade print quality.
Shelf life: 12–24 months, depending on storage conditions. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Return policy: Due to manufacturer restrictions, opened ink cartridges cannot be returned. Always double-check your printer model and finish type (gloss or matte) before purchasing.
