The BCI-6 family is the six-to-eight-color dye ink set behind Canon’s best early-2000s photo printers, including the wide-format i9900. Many of these printers pair the BCI-6 colors with a BCI-3e pigment black for documents — that black is listed here too, because it fits the same machines.

Ink and everyday use

Optical sensing is part of why BCI-6 hardware ages gracefully: there are no chip errors, reset tools or firmware surprises to manage, just a tank fitted until it clicks. Left unused for weeks, a printer of this era can dry at the nozzles, so run a cleaning cycle and a test print, since in almost every case that is all it takes to return a long-lived photo printer to work.
