Canon MultiPASSTM C50 manual Choosing the Best Cartridge, BC-20 Black BJ Cartridge

Choosing the Best Cartridge

Canon offers several BJ print cartridges and ink tanks for use in the MultiPASS C50. (BJ print cartridges contain the BJ print head and ink, while BJ ink tanks contain only ink.) Use the following descriptions to decide which type of cartridge best suits your particular needs.

To avoid printing problems, use only the BC-20 or BC-21/21e BJ cartridges for normal printing. The BC-22/22e Photo Colour BJ Cartridge (sold separately) is for printing photo-realistic colour images. Other cartridges can produce unsatisfactory results. In addition, use only BCI-21 Black and BCI-21 Colour ink tanks in the BC-21/21e Colour BJ cartridge.

BC-20 Black BJ Cartridge

This cartridge incorporates a BJ print head and black ink in a single unit. The BC-20 can be used if most of your printing is black, e.g. for receiving faxes, making copies, and monochrome printing. It can print twice as fast as a colour cartridge, and at higher resolution.

BC-21/21e Colour BJ Cartridge

The BC-21/21e incorporates a BJ print head and two replaceable ink tanks (a BCI-21 Black and a BCI-21 Colour). Use this cartridge when printing in colour.
