Part 2: Product Specifications

1.3.3 Color BJ cartridge (BC-61)

The BC-61 BJ cartridge is used for color printing (denser colors and filling larger areas with color). The cartridge consists of a main unit that separates the BJ heads, and disposable ink tanks (BCI-61 Color).

The BJ head has 240 nozzles supplying the color inks. There are three vertical rows of 80 nozzles each for yellow, magenta, and cyan. The 3 ink tanks are integrated. Replace the ink tanks if any of the 3 inks runs out, or if satisfactory printing cannot be achieved even after the stipulated cleaning operations have been performed. If you still cannot obtain satisfactory print quality, replace the BJ cartridge. Also replace the cartridge if more than 12 months has elapsed after the seal is broken. (Replace the ink tank 6 months after the seal is broken.) The BC-61 BJ cartridge will print approximately 275 pages per tank of a standard color print pattern.

When you use the BC-62e Photo BJ cartridge to print in color using only the normal color inks and not the photo inks, the normal color inks will run out and the ink tanks will have to be replaced before the photo inks are used up.

The estimated print quantity for the BC-60 (approximately 870 pages in monochrome) is for printing only in monochrome and assumes that the ink optimizer is not used up by color printing. If the ink optimizer is used in color printing, the cartridge may not print as many pages and it may be necessary to replace the BC-60 even if you do not print in monochrome at all.

When handling BJ cartridges and ink tanks, observe the notes in "Part 1: 2.1 BJ Cartridge Handling" (page 1-7).
