BJ Cartridge Guidelines

You can use these cartridges with the printer.

BC-05 Color BJ Cartridge

Use this cartridge for all your color printing needs.

BC-02 Black BJ Cartridge

Use this cartridge for high-speed, black ink only printing.

BC-06 Photo BJ Cartridge

Use this cartridge for photo-realistic color printing.

BC-09F Non BJ Cartridge

Use this cartridge to add bright, florescent colors to your images.

Each of these BJ cartridges contains the print head and ink. (The color cartridges have three ink chambers: cyan, magenta, and yellow.) When you run out of ink, simply replace the entire BJ cartridge.

The actual amount of ink that you use will vary depending on the print density of a page. If the majority of your output is graphics, you may need to change cartridges more often than when you are printing text only. See Appendix A, Specifications, For details on the life expectancy of the BJ cartridges.

You may need to replace the BJ cartridge when any of the following conditions exist:

You have been using the cartridge for over one year.

Your printed output is not crisp and clear, and there are gaps in the characters (missing dots) even after you have cleaned the print head at least five times. Your output has no ink on it.

Canon has more engineers dedicated to creating quality ink for providing the best results for output on Bubble Jet printers than any other organization. Canon does not prohibit the use of third-party inks and the use of third-party inks does not invalidate the product's limited warranty. However, Canon cannot guarantee the quality or performance of your printer when you are using inks from other suppliers.

Canon's limited warranty does not cover damage caused to Canon's Bubble Jet products that is attributable to the use of third-party parts or supplies, including inks. The limited warranty remains in effect for its life once that particular damage has been properly repaired.

For optimum printing results, Canon recommends that you use only Canon BJ cartridges.
