 You can refurbish an ink tank Feb 08, 2011
By Jimbo
The ink tank for the 4800/7800/9800 is a simple plastic box filled with paper absorbent. Thirty five bucks is way too much to pay for such a simple device. You can "refurbish" the tank with a roll of toilet paper. Remove the lid from the tank, remove the cardboard tube in the center of the roll and cut the toilet tissue in half with a bread knife. The two halves will just about fill the box to recreate the absorbent. Here's the kicker. The printer reads a chip on the tank and remembers the last two tanks, and maybe more. It will not let you reinsert and reuse a recently used tank even if it has been "refurbished". If you have a buddy with the same printer you can switch refurbished tanks to fool the printer.

 Epson 9900 compatible, easy to change May 15, 2010
By Mollie
I was nervous when the right-side maintenance tank on my Epson 9900's warning light came on - 90% full. I had no idea what a maintenance tank was or how difficult it was to change it, but the Epson 9900 guide does warn that if one of the maintenance tanks become completely full, the machine will cease to print. I ordered the part from Amazon, double-checking the tank model #, which should be compatible with my machine. It was delivered quickly. I was amazed how easy it was to change, it just slides right in and out of the machine. Tip to extend the life of your maintenance tank if you have an Epson 9900 or similar model that has a left and right tank, the right tank will fill a LOT faster then the left one, so when you notice the right tank at around 50%, swap the left and right tanks. Also, this tank works on both the right and left sides, they are cross-compatible, so you not need to keep a left-tank and right-tank around, just one backup maintenance tank will be fine, you can use it in either side.

Does what is says, but too expensive. Jan 11, 2007
By J. Montgomery

There is not much to this in tank, but you since Epson is the only one who makes it, they can charge a massive profit for it. Amazon is probably the cheapest place to get it though. You can take out the filled absorbent fibers and use lots of tissue or paper towels until you get a new one. But you can't reset the maintenance tank on the printer from what I know.

Does what it says! Jun 30, 2011
By Sam
Quickly replaced the ink storage tank in our Stylus Pro 4800, and regained the ability to print! Annoying that you have this part, and amazing to feel the difference in weight between a new and a used part. Just think of all the wasted ink! Alas, it's needed, and Amazon has a good price.
Note that you should be careful when removing the old one, as it can be a little messy! Don't touch the (possibly still wet) ink!
