Canon multiPASS MPC200 Ink Cartridges
Your Canon multiPASS MPC200 uses the BCI-24 series ink cartridges, featuring separate black and colour cartridges to handle everyday document printing. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Jan 2003. A compact all-in-one desktop inkjet designed for home office document printing, faxing, and copying, it benefits from high-value compatible cartridges that drop per-page printing costs significantly. Replacing individual BCI-24 Black or BCI-24 Colour cartridges as they empty helps avoid unnecessary ink waste. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
Inkjet page yield values follow the standardized ISO/IEC 24711 test protocol based on continuous 5% page coverage across standard A4 sheets. Actual print yield varies depending on graphics density, document coverage, and how frequently automated cleaning cycles execute.
Choosing Compatible BCI-24 Ink Options
Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Compatible BCI-24 options deliver clear document text and vibrant colour reproduction at a fraction of the cost.

Best Way to Stock These Cartridges
If you print mainly text documents, purchasing multi-pack BCI-24 Black cartridges ensures you always have spare black ink available when printing heavy paperwork. If you print mixed graphics and colour pages, holding a balance of BCI-24 Colour cartridges prevents output disruption. Compatible options include a money back guarantee if they do not work.

Pro Tip
Store unopened BCI-24 cartridges in an upright position in a cool, dry area to ensure the internal ink sponge remains evenly saturated prior to installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace the BCI-24 Black cartridge without replacing the BCI-24 Colour cartridge?
Yes, the Canon multiPASS MPC200 operates with dual distinct ink slots, allowing you to swap out the BCI-24 Black cartridge independently whenever text ink runs out, without disturbing the colour cartridge.
How does the BCI-24 cartridge system handle long periods between print runs?
Because BCI-24 cartridges feed directly into a semi-permanent printhead within the printer, keeping fresh compatible cartridges sealed until installation prevents air exposure and keeps the sponge inside the ink reservoir moist.
Will replacing a BCI-24 Colour cartridge affect black text print output?
No, black text printing relies entirely on the dedicated BCI-24 Black cartridge. Replacing or depleting the colour cartridge does not impair mono printing, though keeping a functional colour cartridge in place prevents the printhead nozzles from drying out.
