Canon i70 BCI-15 Ink Cartridges

The Canon i70 is a portable printer that prints with BCI-15 Black (about 130 pages), BCI-15 Color (about 120 pages). Clever Supplies compatible versions are filled to the original specification and carry a lifetime warranty.

For a portable printer like the i70, the sensible strategy is simple: keep one spare of the cartridge that runs out first, and use sets when you want every slot covered in a single order.

These were Canon’s portable photo printers, designed to print away from a desk — several run on optional battery packs. The black cartridge is shared by every printer in this family; only the color cartridge splits between BCI-15 and BCI-16.

Ink and everyday use

The i70's long life owes much to how simply it senses ink: optical reading means no chip errors, no reset tools and no firmware surprises as the hardware ages. Fit a tank until it clicks and print. When this portable sits unused for weeks, watch for dried ink at the nozzles, since a cleaning cycle and a test print restore it in almost every case.
