Digital camera reviews of Canon PhotoCyan BCI-6PC Genuine Canon Ink Tank

Digital camera Review: Shipping is how much?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Summary: 5 Stars

I have had Canon printers for 10 years now, and have always been impressed. Currently I have the i9900. When paired with this ink, it gives fantastic results!

Buy the ink elsewhere though. Amazon does not do free shipping for this item. The ink is just over eight bucks, but shipping is seven and a half - EACH!!!

Digital camera Review: Watch out for that shipping charge from Amazon!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Of course this Canon ink is great. It would be interesting to know who in their right mind would pay $7.49 shipping for each ink cartridge. That's right, order 5 ink cartridges and pay $37.35 SHIPPING. I'm guessing Amazon doesn't really want to be bothered by selling this Canon ink.

UPDATE (09/08/2005) - Amazon is currently selling Canon ink (except red and green) and making it eligible for FREE Super Saver shipping. Stock up and save now!

Digital camera Review: Watchout for the 'P'
Summary: 3 Stars

After putting this ink tank in my Canon i860 the color was WAY off on all my prints. The reason? My other ink tanks were not designated "photo" ink tanks. You cannot mix and match.
It's easy to get confused because the only difference is the 'P' in the code, i.e., BCI-6PC vs BCI-6C

It's easy to check, just look at your other color ink tanks and see if they have a 'P' designated on their label. If not, stay away from 'P' ink tanks. They do very little to improve photo prints anyway (I can't by any means see the difference).

Digital camera Review: Works As Advertised
Summary: 5 Stars

With gas prices these days, might as well buy them online. I ordered 3 of them with Amazon and got them within 2 days - pretty good. If you buy 3 or more, you get the free shipping which also saves money.

Digital camera Review: great ink
Summary: 5 Stars

Amazon has a good price for true canon ink. I've been buying mine's locally (not sure why in the past I didn't think of checking on Amazon.) For reviewer's comments on the "P" version of the ink, Some (not all) canon printers use BOTH the Cyan, Magenta and Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta ink cartridges. If your printer only uses 4 ink cartridges you probably should NOT be using PC or PM. If you have a printer with 6 ink cartridges then PC and PM are two additional required ones. Whats the difference? The PC and PM are a different shade of Cyan and Magenta which allows the more expensive 6 color printers to be a bit more granular in the shades of color they can produce in your photos so they can be a little more accurate compared to the four color printers.
