Canon BCI-6Y Yellow Ink Tank

And don't let the small size of the tanks fool you in to thinking that they will run out of ink frequently; since flow control is so precise I can print a huge pile of 4x6 pictures before the yellow or red runs out.

If you are looking for a great printer that will almost pay for itself with savings on ink; look at one of the Canon bubblejet printers with individual tanks.

I'm using this product with my Canon i900D photo printer. I'm thrilled beyond words with the quality, the output (and lack of quickly drying up) that this cartridge offers. Per a prior experience (and recommendations of others), I wouldn't recommend the cheaper clone cartridge makers. Stick with this product, both for your warranty's sake, as well as minimizing your frustration level. The Canon products are worth the few extra $$ to purchase.

I am using this cartridge with my Canon Pixma IP3000 at home. I have printed about 200 mid-sized pictures since I installed it in my printer. The cartridge has lasted four months. I finally received a message that the cartridge is empty but still am able to print from it. I have used cheap cartridges in the past with another Canon printer and came to a conclusion that what you pay is what you get. The cartridges lasted very little and clogged up the printer heads. I think that paying more for the authentic Canon is going to pay off in the long run - your printer will work much longer.

These name brand tanks are more color accurate than SOME refill inks. Furthermore, I've had one refill ink permanently clog the tank, and the printer as well, until I performed deep cleanings on the printer with a squirt or two of alcohol. I've found one aftermarket brand ink refill that seems to flow freely. To the consumer who doesn't want to experiment in order to save money, I recommend the Canon tanks, as expensive as they are.
