If you're new to large format digital printers like me, you may not have discovered what this does until your printer told you to get a new one. I'm wondering if there isn't a more environmentally friendly way to reuse these, but for now I am doing what the machine tells me.
Works perfectly fine, as it is OEM, no issues whatsoever. Simple servicing.

All I can say, is the printer does not allow any print jobs unless you replace the tank. I don't think you can just empty out the existing one, put it back in and get to working again. Another way of squeezing out every last penny you have.

Comments about Epson Ink Maintenance Tank:
The best things about the maintenance tank is that it is replaceable and doesn't become a pile of sludge somewhere inside my 4880. Also it has never leaked when I replace it. It seems pricey but is much cheaper than the ink that is dumped into it. Maybe I'm paying for the engineering that prevents any mess.

Comments about Epson Ink Maintenance Tank:
Must have it. If you own an Epson professional printer, you need to keep one of these. I can't imagine my printing being interrupted in the middle of a run because I failed to keep one on my shelf.

Comments about Epson Ink Maintenance Tank:
Use product to maintain ink levels in Epson printer. It's not too expensive compared to the inks used for the printer. On the bad side, it fills up rather quickly.

Comments about Epson Ink Maintenance Tank:
Not much to report... it's a necessary item... HOWEVER... Epson, how hard would it be to include the information of how to "properly dispose" of the used one?
So, the tank does what it's supposed to do, nothing to report... but how to "properly dispose"... that's the question. If you live in an area that addresses this, great, I do not....

Comments about Epson Ink Maintenance Tank:
These are easy to remove and install. A disposal bag comes with the new tank so I was able to remove the old one, zip it closed into the bag and dispose of it cleanly. The simplest bit of maintenance ever on a printer!
