Canon BCI-6Y Yellow Ink Tank – Customer Reviews

be careful of which magenta you buy

This, like all Canon products I've come across is superb. Be careful though, to get the correct Magenta ink for your printer. I mistakenly bought the BCI-6PM (photo magenta) instead of this ink because I wanted to use it to print photos with my Canon MP780. I ended up with every color print coming out with a greenish orange pall. I spent hours trying to figure what was wrong (Photoshop color space, ICC profile, Printer drivers etc.). Simply substituting the magenta cartridge for the photo magenta cartridge instantly solved my problem.

Nothing beats OEM products. . .

After ordering non-OEM inks from several different places on the web (and having some problems with them), I discovered that Amazon sold OEM at great prices.

I went to my local office supply store and purchased a complete set of 5 inks for my Canon Pixma iP4000 at a cost of $75.Later that day I found them on Amazon at almost 1/2 the price!

Also, when it comes to OEM inks, I discovered that they seem to last almost 3 times as long as the generic and refilled versions.

Canon inks only

I have tried inkgrabber and 123 inks, These "compatible" cartridges are not the same as the original Canon inks. They are very different and have different archival values and fade resistant values. Canon brand inks hold their color longer and are not as prone to fading by light, oxygen, or other gases that are known to cause fading. I own the Canon i9900 printer and it performs flawlessly with Canon inks.
Buy Genuine Canon for the kink of results Canon advertises for their printers. Amazon has had the best prices for genuine Canon inks.

Cheap and Convenient

Around here Canon ink is difficult to locate and expensive when you actually find someone who carries it. It may take a week or two to arrive using Amazon's free shipping option, but I get fantatstic results from my Canon Pixma MP780 (that I also bought from Amazon). Most of my printing is borderless 8 1/2x11 and the quality is always great. Definitely worth it.If turnaround time is a problem, buy two so you always have a spare.
