Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon BCI-6PM Photo Magenta Ink Tank
Customer Review: Lasts a lot longer than you think... and OEM ink is definitely the best
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned 4 Canon inkjet printers, and have a lot of experience with the individual ink tank system Canon uses. I can say with confidence that the BCI-6 and BCI-3 series ink tanks can print quite a bit longer than the software tells you they can. Once all the ink in the reserve tank (not in the sponge) is used up a sensor sends an "Ink Low" message to the software, which then starts counting pages. Whether or not you actually use that color much for the next X number of pages you will still get an "Out of ink" error and a warning that you could damage your printer if you continue to print. Take the ink tank out and visually inspect it. In most cases you can just hit the "Continue" button (or its equivalent on your printer model) and print several more pages (depending on size and whether you're printing photos or on plain paper). Just be sure to visually inspect the tank every few pages because you don't want it to run completely dry, that could indeed damage your print head.
I have been using a Canon i9900 for over 2 years and printed hundreds of photos and 11x17 high-resolution pages, and have never had the print head clog using Canon ink. It's definitely worth it to buy your printer manufacturer's ink, whether you use a Canon, HP, Lexmark, Epson...
Customer Review: Canon BCI-6PM printer ink (photo magenta)
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the cartridges I buy more often for my Canon Pixma ip8500 printer. I have always bought only authentic Canon ink cartridges and not the house brand or had it refilled. The quality of the cartridge has always been tops--no leaking, gets completely used up, and complete coverage on the printed page. Unfortunately it, as all printer cartridges, is expensive. When I am printing photos my ink gets used up at a fast rate. If all 8 cartridges went out at the same time, it would be very expensive. Thank heavens this doesn't happen! The price at Amazon is much better than any of the local stores, so I continue to buy these at Amazon unless it's an emergency. Great product!Customer Review: Stick with Canon Inks
Summary: 5 Stars
I currently have a Canon i960, but I've learned over the years never substitute generic inks no matter what the advertisement says. Only Canon inks give me the quality I want and don't ruin the printer. I do a lot of color prints to use as references in my art work, and contrary to what others may say, the inks last a long time and are well worth the expense for me.Customer Review: Shame on Amazon!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had Canon printers for 10 years now, and have always been impressed. Currently I have the i9900. When paired with this ink, it gives fantastic results!
Buy the ink elsewhere though. Amazon does not do free shipping for this item. The ink is just over eight bucks, but shipping is seven and a half - EACH!!!
Customer Review: Use OEM ink if you are going to pring photos
Summary: 5 Stars
Canon original Magenta ink is a must if you plan on printing your own photos from a Canon photo printer. I've tried generics and they red hue is too strong. However I would not recommend Canon ink if you are using for printing graphics because of the cost. Greatproduct, price is more, but quality is the best.
