Canon Specialty Papers | Canon BJC-5100 guide

NCanon has more engineers dedicated to creating quality ink for providing the best results for output from 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.
