This bulletin address Frequently Asked Questions related to Stylus Pro 10000 Ink questions.
Q1. I am installing my Stylus Pro 10000 for the first time why is it important to use the "Ink
Cartridge Starter Set" that came with the printer?
A1. The "Ink Cartridge Starter Set" is used to configure the printer for the model (Stylus Pro
10000 or Stylus Pro 10000CF) and ink type (DYE or Pigment) that was originally
purchased.
Q2. If the "Ink Cartridge Starter Set" that came with the printer was used to start-up one printer
can the same set of "Starter Ink Cartridges" be used to start up another printer?
A2. NO. The Lt. Cyan ink cartridge has a chip on it that is reset inhibiting its use as a starter
cartridge ever again after it has been used once to configure a printer for the model (Stylus
Pro 10000 or Stylus Pro 10000CF) and ink type (DYE or Pigment).
Q3. Can I continue to use the Lt. Cyan starter cartridge after it configures my printer?
A3. Yes, The Lt. Cyan ink cartridge becomes a standard ink cartridge.
Q4. Can the Lt. Cyan starter cartridge be ordered separately?
A4. NO. The Lt. Cyan starter ink cartridge only ships with new printers and is not orderable
separately.
Q5. How do I tell the difference between a standard Lt. Cyan ink cartridge and the one that
came in the "Ink Cartridge Starter Set"?
