Get your Epson WorkForce Pro back to printing with the PRM Compatible Maintenance Box. This is a direct replacement for the original Epson T6716 — clearing the "Maintenance Box Full" error and restoring normal printing immediately.

T6716 vs T6715 — What's the Difference?
The T6716 and T6715 are often sold together or confused, but they are different parts. Some WorkForce Pro printers use both — one primary and one secondary maintenance box. Check your printer's error message and the part number printed on the existing maintenance box before ordering. If unsure, WhatsApp us on 9004403030 with your printer model — we'll confirm the right one.

What is a Maintenance Box?
The maintenance box is a small absorbent pad container that collects excess ink during printing, head cleaning, and borderless printing. Over time, this pad fills up with waste ink. When it's full, your printer displays a "Maintenance Box Full" or "Maintenance Box End of Service Life" error and stops printing completely — even if your ink tanks are full.

This is not a malfunction. It's a routine consumable replacement, just like replacing ink. Business-class printers like the WorkForce Pro series consume maintenance box capacity faster due to higher print volumes and frequent automatic head cleaning cycles.

When Do You Need a New Maintenance Box?
Replace your maintenance box when you see:
- "Maintenance Box is Full" error on the printer display
- "Maintenance Box End of Service Life" message
- Printer stops printing completely and refuses all print jobs
- Warning message that the maintenance box is "nearly full"
- Ink pad counter reached 100% in the printer utility software

Don't wait for the box to reach 100% — once the error appears, the printer will not print a single page until the maintenance box is replaced. For busy offices, keeping a spare maintenance box in stock avoids unexpected downtime.

1. Instant Fix — Clear the Error, Start Printing: Remove the full maintenance box, insert the new one, and the error clears automatically. Your printer resets the ink pad counter and is ready to print immediately. The entire swap takes under 2 minutes.

2. Fits WorkForce Pro Colour, Mono, and RIPS Printers: The T6716 is used across Epson's WorkForce Pro colour series (WF-C5210, WF-C5290, WF-C5710, WF-C5790), monochrome series (WF-M5299, WF-M5799), RIPS models (WF-C529R, WF-C579R), and the EcoTank Pro ET-8700. One maintenance box covers all of them.

3. Supports RIPS (Replaceable Ink Pack System): The WF-C529R and WF-C579R use Epson's RIPS technology — massive ink packs designed for ultra-high-volume printing. With that kind of print volume, the maintenance box fills up faster than on standard printers. Keeping a spare T6716 on hand ensures your RIPS printer never stops unexpectedly.

4. Covers Mono and Colour Business Printers: Whether you have the colour WF-C5290/WF-C5790 or the monochrome WF-M5299/WF-M5799, the same T6716 maintenance box fits. No need to search for separate mono and colour versions.

5. Compatible Quality, Same Function: The maintenance box is an absorbent pad in a plastic housing — there is no electronic component or print quality difference between original and compatible. It collects waste ink. A compatible box does this identically to the original at a fraction of the price.

6. No Chip Issues: This compatible maintenance box comes with the chip pre-installed. Your printer will recognise it immediately — no error messages, no workarounds needed.

7. Easy Installation: Open the maintenance box cover, slide out the old box, slide in the new one, and close. Under 2 minutes. No tools needed. Handle the old box carefully — it's full of waste ink.

8. Tested Before Shipping: Every PRM maintenance box is checked for proper fit and chip function before dispatch. Backed by our testing warranty.
