Canon multiPASS MPC20 Ink Cartridges
Your Canon multiPASS MPC20 uses the BCI-21 ink cartridges system, featuring separate BCI-21 Black and BCI-21 Colour units. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this multifunction printer since Jul 2007. Our 4.8 Google rating proves it: we consistently supply premium cartridges backed by rock-solid reliability. Replacing the BCI-21 Black tank individually ensures routine text printing remains cost-effective without depleting the colour cartridge prematurely.
Expected page output and usage
Expected page output depends on document coverage, measured under standard ISO/IEC 24711 testing for inkjet printing. Standard text documents consume black ink quicker, while graphics deplete the tri-colour tank. Choosing multi-packs helps maintain a steady ink supply for everyday home printing tasks.
Choosing between genuine and compatible options
Our range features premium compatible BCI-21 ink cartridges designed to offer consistent print results at a fraction of the price. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. To learn more about how alternative cartridges compare to original manufacturer products, read our guide on genuine and compatible cartridges.
Choosing the right cartridge setup
If you print mainly text documents, purchasing BCI-21 Black multi-packs provides better value and minimizes replacement downtime. If you print colour graphics or photos, keeping a balance of both black and colour cartridges is recommended. Our compatible cartridges are backed by a money-back guarantee for peace of mind. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99. We ship directly from warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide to ensure fast transit.

Consumable Selection Tip
When replacing BCI-21 ink tanks, replace black and colour cartridges independently based on your actual print volume rather than changing both simultaneously to avoid wasting remaining ink.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a BCI-21 Black cartridge while the BCI-21 Colour cartridge still has ink?
Yes, the Canon multiPASS MPC20 cartridge bay accepts black and colour ink tanks independently, allowing you to replace only the empty cartridge without disturbing the other.
Are compatible BCI-21 ink cartridges reliable for text and document printing?
Yes, premium compatible BCI-21 cartridges are manufactured to strict quality standards, providing reliable print performance and crisp black text without damaging your printer printhead.
Why does the BCI-21 Colour cartridge deplete faster when printing photos or full-page graphics?
The BCI-21 Colour tank houses cyan, magenta, and yellow ink in a single composite unit. Printing dense colour images drains all three chambers evenly, whereas light graphics only pull ink from specific sections.
