Overview

The Epson T288XL-BCS DURABrite Ultra Ink Combo Pack bundles a high-capacity 288XL black cartridge with standard-capacity cyan, magenta, and yellow cartridges, giving you everything you need to keep your Epson Expression Home XP-series printer running. The DURABrite Ultra pigment ink formula is engineered for durability — prints resist smudging, fading, and water on both plain paper and glossy photo media, making this pack suitable for everything from school reports to family photo prints.

Each cartridge is individually replaceable, so you swap only the color that's empty rather than discarding unused ink. The XL black cartridge delivers a higher page yield than the standard 288 black, which is a practical advantage since black ink is typically consumed fastest in mixed document and photo printing. The combo pack is compatible with the Epson Expression Home XP-330, XP-340, XP-430, XP-434, XP-440, and XP-446, and the compact 2.3 x 4.4 x 4.8-inch package stores easily alongside your printer supplies.
