Canon BJC-50 BCI-10 / BCI-11 Ink Cartridges

The Canon BJC-50 is a portable BubbleJet printer that prints with . Clever Supplies compatible versions are filled to the original specification and carry a lifetime warranty.

A portable lives a stop-start life: the BJC-50 may print a burst of pages on the road, then sit for weeks. That pattern argues for one habit, keeping a sealed spare set with the printer, so the tank that runs dry mid-trip is never the one you forgot to order.

A tri-color tank means cyan, magenta and yellow live in one unit; when one color empties, the tank is replaced as a whole. All five printers in the family are portable BubbleJets from the BJC-35 to the BJC-85.

Ink and everyday use

There is no level chip to consult on the BJC-50; the tank itself tells the story, so change it when the printer flags it low. Dust is the other quiet enemy of a traveling machine, so keep it covered, run a few pages every few weeks to keep the heads wet, and store spare tanks sealed at room temperature; the lifetime warranty backs any tank that leaks or underperforms.
