Canon multiPASS MPC50 Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your Canon multiPASS MPC50, which uses the Canon BCI-21 ink cartridges series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Jul 2007. The Canon multiPASS MPC50 is a compact multi-function inkjet printer built for general document copying and faxing. Replacing BCI-21 Black and BCI-21 Colour tanks together ensures clean text and balanced colour outputs without output faintness. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
What to expect from each cartridge type
Standard BCI-21 ink cartridges are measured under ISO/IEC testing standards for everyday document coverage. Because text documents rely heavily on black ink, replacing the black cartridge more frequently maintains crisp black text while keeping overall printing costs low.
Understanding Compatible BCI-21 Cartridge Options
Choosing compatible BCI-21 cartridges provides a practical way to lower print expenses while preserving everyday print quality. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty.

Stocking Up and Shipping Details
If you print mainly text documents, purchasing BCI-21 Black multi-packs keeps cost per page to a minimum. If you print photos or charts, adding BCI-21 Colour cartridges maintains vibrancy across full-page graphics. All compatible cartridges are backed by a money-back guarantee under our returns policy. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99, dispatched quickly from our warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Key Cartridge Buying Advice
Because the BCI-21 system uses separate black and tri-colour tanks, order extra BCI-21 Black cartridges alongside single BCI-21 Colour tanks to reflect higher everyday black text usage patterns.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do BCI-21 Black and BCI-21 Colour cartridges work within the printhead carrier?
The multiPASS MPC50 uses a removable printhead holder that houses both BCI-21 tanks simultaneously. You can replace the BCI-21 Black tank independently when black ink runs out without disturbing the BCI-21 Colour tank.
Will compatible BCI-21 cartridges perform reliably if the printer is left idle between jobs?
Compatible BCI-21 cartridges use specially formulated inks designed to maintain consistent fluid movement through the printhead nozzles, preventing drying during typical home office printing intervals.
Why does colour output fade when the BCI-21 Colour cartridge gets low?
The tri-colour tank shares a single reservoir block for cyan, magenta, and yellow. When one shade depletes, the printer continues printing with remaining colours, creating an imbalance until a fresh BCI-21 Colour tank is installed.
