Frequently Asked Questions

What does this set of 5 contain?

The set contains 3 × BCI-15 Black; 2 × BCI-15 Color. Five cartridges rated together at up to 630 pages, for Canon's pocketable i-series printers. The black is stocked three deep and the color two — the shape of travel printing, where documents outnumber photographs by a wide margin.

Which printers use this set?

Two ultra-portable models: the Canon i70 and the Canon i80. These are the briefcase printers that defined mobile printing before the word meant an app — battery-ready, carry-on sized, and built around the compact BCI-15 cartridge pair. Desktop PIXMAs do not take these cartridges.

Why does the set cost what it does for 630 pages?

Miniaturization, mostly. The BCI-15 cartridges pack a printhead's worth of function into a pocket format, and $67.43 across five of them is the compatible price for that engineering — against originals for a discontinued-era portable, it is the difference between a working travel printer and a retired one.

What printing is this set for?

Documents on the move, with color in reserve. The black cartridges carry contracts, invoices and forms printed in hotel rooms and site offices; the two color cartridges handle the presentation page, the chart, the photograph that proves the point. Three-to-two is that workload, boxed.

How are cartridges changed in a printer this small?

Anywhere flat. Open the cover, lift the spent cartridge, seat its replacement to the click, and print — the mechanism was designed for tray tables. Unseal the fresh cartridge only at the swap, and guard its contacts and outlet from the lint and grit of travel.

Do BCI-15 cartridges report ink levels?

This generation keeps no electronic gauge the way modern chipped cartridges do — the owner reads the output, and the first sustained fading is the warning. Which is exactly why the set carries spares: on the road, the level indicator you trust is the cartridge in your bag.

How should the spares travel and store?

In their seals, inside the printer's case or a hard pocket of the same bag, away from heat. A wrapped cartridge rides across seasons without deteriorating, ready for the trip where the fitted one gives out — which, by the iron law of travel printing, will be the trip where it matters.

Who produces these cartridges?

Clever Supplies produces them as compatibles matched to the BCI-15 specification, black and color alike. They are not Canon products; they are the living supply line for two of the most useful small printers Canon ever made.

Can a fresh cartridge rescue an i80 that sat in a drawer for years?

It is the correct first step. Long rest dries the cartridge end of the system first, and a fresh cartridge renews ink delivery in one change. Give the printer its cleaning cycle afterwards; if streaks persist, the machine's own head may need attention — but rule out ink first, cheaply.

What cover stands behind the five cartridges?

Each cartridge is covered individually by the Lifetime Warranty — a leak or failure earns that unit a replacement or refund. A 1-year returns window also applies to the purchase, modern terms for a veteran portable's supply kit.
