Frequently Asked Questions

What does this set of 14 contain?

The set contains 4 × BCI-6 Black; 2 × BCI-6 Cyan; 2 × BCI-6 Magenta; 2 × BCI-6 Yellow; 2 × BCI-6 Photo Cyan; 2 × BCI-6 Photo Magenta. Fourteen dye tanks rated together at up to 3,920 pages — the complete BCI-6 photo row, stocked for the long term.

Which printers use the photo-extended BCI-6 row?

Twenty-two verified models, headed by the Canon i860, Canon i865, Canon i900D and Canon i950, with the full list under Compatible Printers on this page. These are the six-slot members of the family — the ones with positions for Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta beside the standard four.

What do the photo inks contribute?

Finer pale tones. Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta are dilute primaries, and they let the printer render skies, skin and pastel passages in smaller steps than full-strength ink can manage. On this generation, they are the difference between a photograph and a picture of one.

Why is black stocked four deep?

Because in the BCI-6 row, the dye black works two shifts: it is the shadow ink in every photograph and the nearest thing to a document tank these photo-led machines have. Four blacks against two rounds of everything else matches that double duty, across roughly 3,920 rated pages at $62.79 — about 1.6 cents a page.

Where is the pigment black in this set?

There is none, by design. Printers on this list that carry a wide BCI-3e document slot feed it from the sets that include that tank; this box restocks the six-position dye row only. Check which slots your machine actually has — the photo row here is complete for the dye side, whichever way your black is arranged.

When a single tank empties, what happens?

That tank alone is changed. The platform's tanks are individual, so a spent photo cyan costs exactly one photo cyan. The printer estimates levels optically — this generation has no chips — and the owner confirms by output. With two rounds of most positions in the drawer, any low tank is a moment's work.

How should fourteen tanks be stored?

Sealed, upright, sorted by color in a cool drawer — sorting earns its keep with six lookalike tank types in the box. Wrapped tanks are stable across the years a stock this deep may span, so the last photo magenta fitted prints like the first.

Who manufactures the set?

Clever Supplies, as compatibles for the complete BCI-6 range including both photo inks. They are not Canon tanks; they are the continuing supply line for a platform whose printers have outlived several generations of their replacements.

Can these share a printer with Canon originals?

Yes, position by position. Nothing on this platform checks brands, so originals and compatibles can occupy the same row in any pattern while a machine converts gradually. The prints give nothing away.

What guarantee stands behind the fourteen tanks?

The Lifetime Warranty applies to each tank individually — any unit that leaks, fails or prints poorly is replaced or refunded on its own. A 1-year returns window covers the order as well, fitting a photographer's long-horizon stock.
