NCanon 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 Canon BJ cartridges and BJ tanks.

BJ Cartridge and BJ Tank Maintenance

The most important thing you can do to extend the life of your printer and to ensure optimum print quality is to take care of the BJ cartridges.

CSpilled ink can stain any surface. Open BJ cartridges and BJ tanks carefully, and follow the guidelines presented here to protect against spilled ink.

❍Make sure you store any cartridge not being used in the Ink Cartridge Storage Box.

❍Keep BJ cartridges and BJ tanks in their sealed containers until you are ready to use them.

❍Do not remove the BJ tanks from the BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge unnecessarily. This may cause the ink to clog.
