Epson 114 ink bottles for EcoTank ET-8500 series

The Epson EcoTank printer models have 6 separate, built-in tanks for the printer ink - this is filled into these ink reservoirs from the original bottle. The four individual tanks for pigmented black, photo black, cyan, magenta, yellow and gray are arranged in a group on the right, front corner of the printer (see picture 1).

To refill the Epson 114 printer inks, open the cover on the right above the ink tanks on your printer. This gives you access to the ink tank caps. Each tank is closed using a folding mechanism with a rubber stopper attached to it. Fold the cap upwards and the tank to be filled is open (see image 2 as an example).

We recommend refilling Epson 114 compatible ink using the original Epson ink bottles. This procedure is the only way to refill the new EcoTank printers. This is the only way to do this and it is also more precise and safer in terms of cleanliness when filling. Pour the desired ink color into the correct original bottle (see picture 3) and fill the ink into the ink tank (see picture 4) - always pay attention to the color of the cap on the ink tank - this way you can be sure that you are actually filling the right ink color into the right ink tank. To ensure the correct filling quantity, always keep an eye on the viewing window of the ink tank on the printer. This makes it easy to see the fill level and you avoid overfilling the tank. Always refill ink in good time. This prevents air bubbles from getting into the ink lines connected to the tanks. It is very time-consuming to remove these air pockets from the lines. At the same time, these air pockets can cause damage to the print heads of the connected cartridges.
