Quick answer: what ink does the Epson WorkForce WF-7710 use?
The Epson WorkForce WF-7710 uses 4 Epson 252 DURABrite Ultra cartridges: black, cyan, magenta, and yellow. High-capacity 252XL cartridges fit the same slots. 252XL is rated for about 1,100 pages per cartridge, roughly three times the standard size. Heavy black-and-white printers can also use the 254XL extra-high-capacity black. The pigment ink dries fast and resists smudging, which suits documents.

Common questions about Epson WorkForce WF-7710 ink
Should I buy 252 or 252XL for the WF-7710?
252XL for most people. 252XL is rated for about 1,100 pages per cartridge, roughly three times the standard size. Heavy black-and-white printers can also use the 254XL extra-high-capacity black. See Is XL ink actually worth it? Standard vs. XL with real numbers.
Can I mix standard and high-yield cartridges?
Yes. Each cartridge is read separately, so any mix of 252 and 252XL works.
What other printers use Epson 252 ink?
252/252XL also fits the WorkForce WF-3620, WF-3640, WF-7110, WF-7210, WF-7610, WF-7620, and WF-7720. If you own more than one, a single stock of cartridges covers them all.
Will other Epson cartridges fit the WF-7710?
No. Epson 702 (WF-3720/WF-3730) and Epson 802 (WF-4720/WF-4730/WF-4740) look similar on the shelf but won't fit. Always match the number on your current cartridge.
Are compatible 252XL cartridges safe for the WF-7710?
Yes. Quality compatible and remanufactured cartridges print like OEM, and using them doesn't void your warranty under U.S. law. Epson firmware updates have been known to reject some third-party chips, so consider turning off automatic firmware updates.

How do I replace the ink in the WF-7710?
With the printer on, open the ink cartridge cover on the front of the printer. Push the empty cartridge in to release it and pull it out. Shake the new cartridge gently, unpack it, and push it into the matching slot until it clicks. Close the cover and let the printer charge the ink.

Why won't the WF-7710 recognize a cartridge?
Reseat it firmly until it clicks, make sure the yellow tape is fully removed, and wipe the chip with a dry lint-free cloth. Turn the printer off for a minute. If a compatible cartridge stops working right after a firmware update, contact the seller for a replacement. More fixes: Printer says ink cartridge not recognized: how to fix it.
Why are prints from my WF-7710 faded, streaky, or blurry?
Run a nozzle check from the Maintenance menu first. Gaps mean a clog: run a head cleaning (up to two or three cycles). If the check is complete but lines look jagged or doubled, align the print head instead; see our print head alignment guide. More fixes: Why is my printer printing streaks?.
Why did the first set of cartridges run out so fast?
New printers use part of the first set to fill the ink system. It's a one-time cost. See why the first cartridges run out fast.
Can the WF-7710 print 11x17 and larger?
Yes. The WF-7710 is a wide-format all-in-one that prints up to 13 x 19 inches.
WF-7710 vs. WF-7720: what's the difference?
