4.0 out of 5 stars High cholesterol?, May 23, 2002

By	Samuel Chell (Kenosha,, WI United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I make only infrequent use of my Canon Multipass printer, sometimes letting it stand idle for several weeks. For whatever reason, the black ink tanks clog the printhead after prolonged disuse whereas the color ones keep functioning. Although more likely to happen with a clone, the same has occurred with Canon originals. Before throwing out the printer (and I've come close), run it through the cleaning cycle at least 5 successive times and try printing again. If it's still not working right, do another 5 cleaning cycles. So far, that's done the trick for me, but if 10 times doesn't produce the desired result, you'll need to do some invasive surgery on the printhead itself.

As for using cartridges from clone manufacturers, my experience has been that they often require far more "priming" than the original manufacturer's product. As a result, you're wasting ink and saving less money than you may have thought.

Also, when ordering Canon ink supplies, beware the manufacturer's confusing and inconsistent use of the terms "ink cartridge" and "ink tank." It's led to my receiving the wrong item on more than one occasion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cannon BC1-21 Ink Cartridge (black), June 25, 2000

By	Edna Tollison "Mama T" (Laurens, SC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the only cartridge that will give you complete satifaction with a Cannon printer. Believe me I have tried ALL the off brands to save money but in the long run you save by purchasing the name brand product. I do a lot of Photo printing with my cannon and no other ink will do the job

3.0 out of 5 stars good buy, June 28, 2000

By A Customer

This is a fairly inexpensive replacement with no problems. It only lasts about 100 pages, but it's worth it.
