The XP-510 is a specific printer design which Epson decided to hamstring with 50% capacity waste ink pads despite the printer being able to accept the full size pads that fit other XP500 to XP860 models.
As such our Printer Pad kits provide the full pad capacity available to the printer and allow end-users to use two reset keys per pad set, effectively giving the printer two additional lives per pad set.

Printer Pads (XP2 – XP510 model)
As noted above the pads provided in this set are double capacity compared to the OEM/Original waste pad that this printer was manufactured with. The pads will fit the pad holder and will allow the printer to live two additional lives per pad set.
The guide covers:
- Disassembly of the printer
- Removal of the pad holder
- Removal and replacement of the pads in the pad holder.
- Reassembly of the printer

Printer Potty (XP2)
The XP2 Printer Potty kit is the first waste ink solution we provided for the XP-510 and is a great idea for anyone looking to keep their printer working for decades rather than the extra year or two. The kit provides all the parts for collecting the waste ink in an external tank which makes it easier to dispose of without the need to disassemble the printer each time the pads need changing.
Detailed instructions for fitting the kit are provided, in printed form, with this product although video instructions of the process should be made available sometime in the next few months (early 2023).
