Epson SureColor T6997 Maintenance Box (C13T699700)
The Epson SureColor T6997 Maintenance Box is a critical component for maintaining the operational integrity of high-performance SureColor technical and photo printers. This user-replaceable part is engineered to collect and store excess ink flushed from the system during mandatory print head cleaning and initial ink charging cycles.
Essential Ink Management and System Protection
This genuine maintenance box serves as a secure reservoir, ensuring your professional hardware remains free from internal ink contamination.
-
- Leak Prevention: A secure seal design prevents ink from spreading inside the device, protecting delicate internal electronics from stains and damage.
- Operational Continuity: When the maintenance box reaches its capacity, the printer will pause operations to prevent overflow; a fresh unit allows you to resume printing immediately.
- Integrated Monitoring: Each unit features an integrated IC chip that communicates directly with the printer, providing real-time alerts when the box is nearing the end of its service life.
High-Performance Capacity and Durability
Built for high-volume environments, the T6997 maintenance tank is constructed from durable ABS material with specialized absorbent pads to efficiently manage waste ink.
-
- Waste Capacity: The tank is designed to hold approximately 700 ml of waste ink
- Long-Term Reliability: A single unit can typically last for approximately 50,000 pages, though this varies based on the frequency of print head cleanings.
- Tool-Free Replacement: The user-friendly design allows for quick, tool-free installation, requiring no special expertise to keep your production line moving.
Wide-Ranging Compatibility
The T6997 maintenance box is compatible with a broad selection of Epson SureColor technical and photo series printers:
-
- SureColor P-Series: P6000, P7000, P8000, P9000, P7500, P9500, and P7300.

- Legacy Support: Compatible with various T3000, T5000, and T7000 series printers.
Maintenance FAQs and Handling Precautions
When should I replace the maintenance box?
The printer will display a notification on the LCD screen when the box is nearly full. For best results and to avoid print delays, it is recommended to replace the box as soon as the warning appears.
Can I reuse a full maintenance box?
No. Once a box is full, the ink inside solidifies over time and it can no longer absorb waste. Reusing a removed box or attempting to empty it can lead to ink leaks and potential printer damage.
What are the critical handling precautions?
- Avoid Chip Contact: Never touch the green IC chip on the side of the box, as this may prevent the printer from recognizing the unit.
- Proper Disposal: Place the used unit in the transparent bag provided with the new box and seal it shut to prevent leakage during disposal.
