Canon BCI-6 Black Ink Cartridge - Compatible with MP760, MP750, MP780 Printers - High-Quality Replacement for Home & Office Printing

Although lower cost substitute ink cartridges are sold all over the web, and on this site as well, the few bucks you might save aren't worth the all-too genuine risks of replacing with generic "no-name" ink tanks. I've heard (but wouldn't wish to try it, frankly) that generic inks fade faster when exposed to daylight, could clog the print-head spray nozzles, don't spread properly on top-quality paper, and simply can't compare with the uniquely formulated dyes that have been specially researched for your printer and its matching photo papers. The one exception might be if you use a black-ink-only inkjet [hard to imagine anyone could screw up black ink]. Even so, considering the low cost and remarkable longevity, I'd still stick with the Canon product, if only to match the other colors. I concur that printer manufacturers use that old hoary "razor trick" (give away the razor, profit on the blades), but with Canon's individual ink tanks -- where you replace only those tanks that run dry, you aren't out a lot. My Canon photo printer uses an array of six ink tank colors. Of these six tanks (all available on this site), 'photo cyan' and 'photo magenta' seem to be used up 2 to 3 times faster than 'black'. In other words, rather than replacing an entire set of six ink tanks, you can replace just those tanks that run empty the soonest -- thus not having to toss out a 3-ink tank [as used by HP] where 2 of the 3 remaining inks still are far from used up. Just a word of caution here - make certain that every cartridge you order from Amazon clearly states its eligibility for SuperSaver shipping. If you have to add shipping charges to this low-cost item, you could end up paying more than you would have at the local office supply store.I tried to save money by ordering non Canon "equivalent" ink tanks. What a mistake. The printer never worked properly, even for just black text which printed with fuzzy edges on every character. The ink tanks also dried out much quicker than the Canon ink tanks bought with the printer. In fact, they only lasted a few months despite very little use, whereas the original ink tanks lasted well over a year.These genuine cartridges immediately restored print quality to where it was, but I discovered the non-Canon blue ink tank had clogged the print head, and I had to remove it to clean it manually (a very tricky operation that is not recommended by Canon). I will never buy non Canon ink tanks again.The pricing on amazon.com is excellent, and much better than elsewhere. The free standard shipping for ink tanks is very fast and does not require the $25 minimum purchase of normal free shipping (which is also slower anyway). I had my ink tanks in two days from the time of order.This is the ONLY way I will order Canon genuine ink tanks in the future (unless the pricing or shipping terms change) and I will NEVER use non Canon ink tanks again.I've owned my Canon Inkjet printer for ten years now. I have never had a problem with it, at all. I have always purchased Original Canon Ink Tanks. It makes no sense to me to buy something that "might" work, for awhile. These ink tanks last a long time and very rarely dry up from lack of use. I have never been disappointed when printing pictures (unless it was mine or my camera's fault). Bright, clear color. Always.As my printer gets older, these tanks become harder to find. Luckily, Amazon always has them in stock. In that ten year time span, I've purchased all of my ink tanks from Amazon. Affordable and delivered free of charge right to my door.When I find a product that works so well for me, I have a tendency to stick with that product. This is one of those products.On my last printer the i960, I made the mistake of switching to a generic brand and what a mistake that turned out to be. The colors looked bad, the inks ran out real fast, and when I didn't use my printer just for a couple of weeks, it completely clogged my print heads. Multiple cleaning runs did no good, and I removed the print head and cleaned it under water many times. That cleared up a bit, but not a whole lot, and I ended up replacing an otherwise excellent printer. For my next Canon printer, I stuck with Canon inks and never had that issue again. Yes, the generic inks were cheap, but it ended up costing me a lot more over the long run.I have reordered this tank many times over the years, and the quality of the ink has always been top notch. The ink is always dark, long lasting, and (until may printer got too old) always gave sharp, detailed print and graphics. As with so many printers, though, you don't seem to get nearly enough toner for the price paid, but I have tried off brands and refillables in the past, never with satisfactory results. 5 stars for quality, 2 stars for value for price paid.Thank God that I haven't had problems with my Canon i9900 yet because for the past year, on and off, I've been buying the cheaper alternative Canon ink brands that say they're compatible. After reading many reviews and finding consistencies in the problems that occur with these inks, I'll never go back to trying to save money for sake of. You're not getting a good deal, you're ruining your printer. Take care of your Canon printer so use Canon inks for Canon printers, not cheap knockoffs that claim you're saving money in the short term. Long term care outweighs saving a few bucks here and there twice over.If any of you have ever had the depressing task of price comparing ink cartridges you know that they are ridiculously overpriced. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Amazon had the most reasonable price on the net. At the time I purchased this product it was right at $10 for the Cannon brand. I ended up buying 2 other cartridges which qualified me for free shipping so I think I did the best I could have without stealing.For whatever reason, Amazon has been posting images of generic ink tanks for this "Canon BCI-6BK" in cartridge. This lead me to believe that they were selling a 3rd party cartridge, but an email from Amazon confirmed that it is indeed the genuine cartridge (and it was too when it arrived).If you are only printing documents, you'll probably want to save your money and buy a generic cartridge. But if you're into printing photos, I will not risk having a cheap 3rd party cartridge gum up my photos, so I continue to pay for the Canons. Amazon's pricing sometimes fluctuates wildly on these things (it was really cheap at one point, which lead me to believe this was not a genuine Canon product).Ich habe mich schon oft gefragt, warum ich in meinem canon i 865 zwei schwarze Tintenpatronen haben muss. Es leuchtet ein, dass der Drucker für Textdruck und Bilddruck verschiedene Tinten braucht. Nachdem das geklärt ist, bleibt nur noch zu sagen, daß es sich lohnt die etwas teuere Originaltinte zu verwenden. Bisher hatte ich keine Probleme, obwohl ich selten und wenn in großen Schüben drucken muß. Ich werde diese Tinten weiterhin verwenden.Die Tintenpatrone kam wie angekündigtan an, Ich werde bei bedarf erneut bei diesen Anbieter kaufen.Ich erde diesen Anbieterweiter empfehlen.Für den Preis kann man nicht mehr verlangen. Die Originaltintenpatronen sind unverschämt teuer und bei der Qualität der Tinte ist kein Unterschied zu bemerken. 純製品の箱写真であったので早合点して購入。なんだ互換品か って感じ。紛らわしい表示はやめてほしいな～買ったほうが バカなんだけれど！！
