A standard issue with all new Epson inkjets is that the first set of
cartridges don't last as long as subsequent sets, because the printer
has to prime/fill the ink tubes between cartridges and heads. I don't
know whether Epson have improved the situation recently.

See how long your second and subsequent sets last, to gauge the ink
consumption more accurately.
