The Epson maintenance tank, part number C13S210057, is the replaceable waste ink container for the SureColor SC-T3160 and SC-T5160 large format printers. It is a consumable part rather than an ink cartridge, and it is replaced on its own schedule as the printer fills it.Large format printers flush ink through the print head during cleaning and priming cycles, and the maintenance tank absorbs and holds that waste ink. Replacing the tank when it fills protects print quality, prevents overflow inside the machine, and keeps long plot and drawing runs from stopping partway through.The tank reports its fill level to the printer, so a warning appears before it reaches capacity rather than after. It slides out and the replacement slides in, with no tools needed.Suited to drawing offices, architecture and engineering practices, and print rooms running an SC-T3160 or SC-T5160 where an unplanned stoppage costs time.
