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.
BCI-21 Black ink tank
Purchase this ink tank from your local Canon dealer as the
black ink runs out of the BC-21/21e Colour BJ cartridge.
BCI-21 Colour ink tank
Purchase this ink tank from your local Canon dealer as the
colour ink runs out of the BC-21/21e Colour BJ cartridge.
