The chip manufacturer has launched replacement chips for use in Epson 702XL/378XL series and HP CF500 series.
Epson launched the 702/802 series ink cartridges and corresponding business inkjet printers WF-3720/WF-4720 in North America in April 2017. The 802 series cartridges have a bigger volume than the previous generation.
In August 2017, Epson launched 378/202 series ink cartridges and corresponding printers XP-8500/XP-6000 in Europe. The cartridge structure is the same as KUI series released in Japan and they have six colours and five colours. The printers in this series have a smaller size.
