Canon i80 Ink Cartridges
Your Canon i80 uses the BCI-15 black ink cartridge. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Jan 2004. Designed as an ultra-compact portable bubble jet printer for printing on the go, maintaining a spare BCI-15 cartridge ensures continuous operation during mobile field work. Our 4.8 Google rating proves it: we consistently supply premium cartridges backed by rock-solid reliability. Replacing empty BCI-15 cartridges as soon as output lightens preserves crisp text quality.
Expected Page Yield and Cartridge Life
Page yield for BCI-15 ink cartridges is measured using ISO/IEC 24711 standard testing under standard document coverage. Because this mobile printer carries a low ink capacity per cartridge, page output varies depending on document density and text formatting during portable print runs.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BCI-15 | Standard | Black | 150 | $0.062 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Compatible cartridges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the BCI-15 black cartridge yield fewer pages than standard office printer cartridges?
The BCI-15 is engineered specifically for ultra-portable mobile printers like the Canon i80, where compact physical dimensions take priority over ink volume. Its 150-page yield reflects the cartridge's reduced fluid reservoir, making it ideal for low-volume document printing while on the road.
How can I prevent BCI-15 ink cartridges from drying out if the Canon i80 is used infrequently?
Keep spare BCI-15 cartridges sealed in their original airtight packaging until required. If installed in the printer, powering off the Canon i80 using its power button allows the printhead mechanism to cap properly, keeping the nozzles sealed against air exposure between mobile print jobs.
Are BCI-15 compatible cartridges fully recognised by the Canon i80 printer?
Yes, compatible BCI-15 cartridges are built to match the physical housing and ink delivery specs of the Canon i80, ensuring proper fit and consistent ink flow without requiring manual resets or chip overrides.
