What’s Inside This Epson 502 Category (CMYK + Maintenance)

This subpage focuses on inkjet consumables from the Epson 502 family, designed around the four key colors: Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow (CMYK). You’ll find three practical groups of products that cover daily printing and long-term reliability:

• Ink Cartridges – individual colors and convenient multi packs in Epson 502 and high-yield Epson 502 XL versions (compatible and Original OEM).
• Waste Ink Tanks – Epson T04D1 (C13T04D100) Original OEM and a reliable compatible alternative, for printers that use a replaceable maintenance box.
• Fluids for Cleaning – a specialistic fluid for cleaning heads (250 ml), ideal when clogs or banding appear and you want to restore clean ink flow.

Thanks to this, you can buy not only the right ink cartridge Epson 502, but also the maintenance parts that prevent annoying interruptions and error messages.

Compatible Printers: A Perfect Match for Popular Epson Expression Home Models

Epson 502 ink is commonly used in compact, everyday printers from the Expression Home line. This series is compatible with models such as Epson Expression Home XP-5100, XP-5105, and XP-5150 (and related variants within the same family). If you’re shopping for ink for printer Epson Expression Home XP-5100 or ink for XP-5150, choosing the correct 502/502 XL code is the safest way to keep colors accurate and text sharp.

Tip from us: always verify the cartridge code your printer expects—most often it will be Epson 502 or Epson 502 XL, and each color has its own product number (Black/Cyan/Magenta/Yellow).

Epson 502 vs Epson 502 XL: Which One Should You Choose?

One of the most common questions is whether to buy standard or XL. The answer depends on how you print.

• Epson 502 – a great choice if you print occasionally and prefer a lower upfront cost per cartridge.
• Epson 502 XL – built for higher page volume. If you print often (school materials, work documents, lots of color), XL reduces how frequently you replace cartridges and typically offers a better cost per page.

If you want convenience and balanced colors, consider a multi pack Epson 502 CMYK (available in Original OEM and compatible). It’s the simplest way to keep every color ready—no more stopping mid-print because Yellow ran out first.

Original OEM vs Compatible: Real Differences, Real Savings

In this category we offer both Original OEM Epson 502 cartridges and carefully selected compatible Epson 502 XL replacements. What does this mean for you?

• Original OEM – Epson-branded cartridges (e.g., C13T02V… for standard and C13T02W… for XL). They’re ideal if you prefer sticking to the manufacturer’s ecosystem.
• Compatible – a cost-effective alternative that we confidently recommend. Our compatible cartridges from the DrTusz.pl offer are designed to deliver print quality and reliability that are as good as the originals—so you can print more without paying more.

Choosing compatible can be the easiest way to lower everyday printing costs, especially if you frequently buy ink for Epson 502 XL in Black or print lots of color pages. And if you value convenience, the compatible 502 XL multi pack keeps your CMYK set complete in one purchase.

Common Printing Problems with Epson 502—and How to Fix Them

Even the best printer can misbehave when consumables are running low or maintenance is overdue. Here are issues Epson 502 users most often report—and what to do next:

• Faded black text – usually a low Black cartridge or clogged nozzles. Replace the ink cartridge Epson 502 Black (or 502 XL Black) and run a nozzle check.
• Streaks/banding in photos – often caused by partial nozzle blockage. Use built-in cleaning first; if the problem persists, consider our specialistic fluid for cleaning heads.
• One color missing (e.g., no Cyan) – replace the specific color cartridge (Cyan/Magenta/Yellow) and print a test pattern.
• Maintenance box / waste ink warning – some compatible printers require a replaceable tank. In that case, choose the waste ink tank T04D1 (C13T04D100) in Original OEM or compatible form to restore normal operation.

By combining the right Epson 502 ink cartridge with the right maintenance items, you protect print quality and reduce frustrating downtime.

How to Buy the Right Epson 502 Cartridge (A Quick Checklist)

We encourage you to use this simple checklist before adding items to your cart:

• Check your printer model (for example XP-5100, XP-5105, XP-5150) and confirm it uses Epson 502.
• Choose capacity: standard 502 for occasional printing, or 502 XL for frequent printing and better economy.
• Select colors wisely: Black runs out fastest for documents; CMY are crucial for photos and graphics.
• Consider a multi pack if you want consistent color output and fewer emergency purchases.
• Don’t ignore maintenance: if your device uses it, keep a T04D1 waste ink tank in mind; for clogs, the cleaning fluid can be a lifesaver.
