Canon BCI ink in CLI-221 cartridges?

[aj_chicago]

Can I use my BCI ink from Sensient in the new CLI-221 cartridges/printers?.... MP560 specifically. If not, can I use CLI-8 compatible ink in CLI221 cartridges/printers? Found a Sensient dealer with BCI or CLI-8 ink.

Hello,

yes you can: only the colours might be a bit off. If you can choose between the older BCI-3/6 ink and the newer CLI-8 compatible ink, go for the CLI-8 ink to refill your CLI-221 cartridges.

You maybe want to use the latest Inktec CLI-221/521 and PGI-220/520 compatible refill inks to refill your cartridges. They seem to have improve the recipe to enhance the fade resistance and the gamut of the colours.
