Canon PIXMA iP9950 Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your Canon PIXMA iP9950, which uses the Canon BCI-3e and BCI-6 ink cartridge series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this A3+ photo printer since Sep 2009. Photo printing depletes individual shades unevenly, with specialty tanks like BCI-6G Green running down rapidly during landscape prints. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected Page Output and Photo Print Cycles
Photo print cartridge consumption varies dramatically depending on print size, colour coverage, and image density. Page yields for BCI-6 cartridges are measured using ISO/IEC standards, though printing full-page A3+ photographs consumes ink significantly faster than standard text or mixed documents.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BCI-6G | Standard | Green | 100 | $0.072 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Compatible cartridges.

Consumable Selection Tip
Always replace depleted photo cartridges immediately when low-ink alerts appear; running complex multi-colour photo printheads dry during long A3+ print runs can cause uneven colour banding across subsequent pages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my BCI-6G Green cartridge deplete at a different rate than Cyan or Magenta?
Photo printers use dedicated shade cartridges like Green selectively based on the colour composition of each image. Landscape photos with foliage draw heavily on green ink, whereas portrait photography consumes almost none, leading to natural ink depletion imbalances across individual tanks.
Can I mix compatible BCI-6 cartridges with existing genuine cartridges in the PIXMA iP9950?
Yes, compatible BCI-6 tanks are designed to operate alongside genuine Canon cartridges without chemical reaction or print quality issues, allowing you to replace individual colours as they run out.
Will using compatible ink cartridges alter the colour balance on my glossy photo prints?
Our compatible BCI-6 inks are formulated to closely match OEM colour profiles. However, if precise colour accuracy is critical for display work, printing a test strip or using calibrated printer ICC profiles ensures exact colour fidelity.
