Hi I am having a Problem with my Pixma 5000 it wont print from the Larger
Black Cart(BCI-3eBK) but only the smaller one BCI -6BK...
If I set it to Glossy or Photo it will but its so so slow...
Is there another way???
TX
 
Printing text in the photo mode will use the dye photo black 6BK in
up, as you found the print will be much slower

Have you tried doing a cleaning cycle in the print maintenance windo
if this doesn't work then try a deep clean for the black 3eBK tank,
try printing a nozzle test after to check

If you set it to "Plain" paper and quality setting to Standard or High,
it HAS to print with the larger BCI-3e cartridge, regardless of whether
you use Canon ink or the more affordable kind, like I do.

Setting it to "Photo Paper Pro" or some of the other paper settings, it
may result in it using a mixture of colors to create black. When this
occurs it will print much, much slower.

NOT SO TALLYHO
 
Yes but I want it to Print using the BCi6 not the Pigemnet based bci3..
It will not print in normal mode as the BCI6 does not load any Ink ..
So If I print anything I have to choose the Photo Glossy mode or High
Qualitty setting
is there another wat to enable it to print all the time using the smaller
black BCI 6 BK??
Punpkin???

The canon drivers are not geard tward people who want choice or
control. They are designed to be simple.

Firstly you asked earlier about the bci-3e... and the bci-6 being slow.
This is true. In the most simple terms possible the big black has a
larger area dedicated to printing... a total of 320 nozzles all of
which if i'm not mistaken 5pl in size. The dye on the other hand,
again as far as i'm aware, is 1/3 the length, so you'll need more
strokes per page... so it'll be slower no matter what. While the
nozzle count on the color is 512 eat for cyan and magenta, and 256 for
the yellow and black.. part of these are large 5pl nozzles and the
other part are small 1pl nozzles. I don't have an accurate count, but
my point is simple... dye is slower.

Near as I'm aware there is no way to tell the printer to use pigment or
dye... it makes the choice on it's own. In fact, sometimes it decides
at least for me to put a splotch of pigment black on photo paper with
no obvious reason for it. I can not, for example, say use pigment
black for text on photo paper. HPs, or at least my old psc950, seemed
to understand that this block of stuff was text, and this other block
of stuff was a picture. Someone else described this as being object
oriented (i'm a picture with a batch of text) rather than being
docuemnt oriented (i'm a picture or i'm a batch of text).

If she insists on printing high speed with BCI-6 black ink, I suppose
there's nothing stopping her from filling a new blank BCI-3e cartridge
with BCI-6 black ink and installing it when she needs it. I don't think
there'd be any risk as many aftermarket ink dealers today take the cheap
route and substitute dye black instead of pigmented black in the BCI-3e
cartridge. Generally I throw them out when I discover this. But I keep
one or two on hand for printing junk items. Items like manuals that
don't need quality text output.

LIKE HIS HIGH SCHOOL WORK
 
Is that Naughty Lil Weenie Teenie Measikite stirring the Shit again..
I have stuffed two print all after using after market BCI 3BKs that really
should have been Pigment Ink for the Fine tolerances in the Pixma 5000
Pinhead for Pigment Ink...
The refillers filled the first ,obviously with cheap dye based ink that does
not effect the colour head section of the Head but does the Pigment Black
one.and secondly with a Third Party BCI 3bk at about one third of the
price....

I TOLD YOU THE RELABELERS WERE WHORES. THEY DO NOT DISCLOSE WHAT THEY
ARE SELLING YOU. ALL THEY SAY IS THE BULLSHIT WORD COMPATIBLE AND THAT
MEANS THAT THE INK JUST SQUIRTS OUT OF THE JETS.
