The Epson EWMB1 maintenance box is a genuine Epson consumable, part code C13T04D000. It collects the waste ink drawn off during the printer's head cleaning cycles, and it is a user-replaceable part, so you can swap it yourself when the printer reports that the box is full.Replacing the maintenance box when prompted keeps the printer running rather than stopping part-way through a job. That matters most in households and small offices that print in bursts, where the printer runs a cleaning cycle each time it wakes up after sitting idle.Check the maintenance box code your printer asks for before ordering, because Epson uses different boxes across its ranges. Browse the wider Epson range, or see all printer consumables.
