Canon PIXMA MP750 Ink Cartridges
Your Canon PIXMA MP750 uses the BCI-3e and BCI-6 ink cartridge series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Jan 2004. This all-in-one office inkjet relies on a dual-black system, pairing large-capacity BCI-3eBK pigment cartridges for crisp text with BCI-6 dye inks for graphics. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Page yield and print output expectations
The high-capacity BCI-3eBK black cartridge handles primary document text, while BCI-6 colour cartridges manage graphics and images. Yields are measured using standard coverage benchmarks. Heavy text printing depletes BCI-3eBK faster, whereas graphical documents consume BCI-6 inks simultaneously.

Value with compatible cartridges
Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Compatible tanks offer significant cost savings while maintaining clear text and vivid colour reproduction. You can read more about how third-party options compare in our genuine vs compatible cartridge guide.
Choosing the right cartridge setup
If you print mostly text documents, purchasing individual BCI-3eBK cartridges keeps routine printing affordable. For mixed media or colour printing, bundle packs provide better overall value. All compatible cartridges come with a money back guarantee if they do not perform to expectations. We ship promptly from local warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99. View our complete range of Canon ink cartridges or check our returns policy for full delivery details.
Pro Tip
The BCI-3eBK and BCI-6BK serve separate printing tasks; BCI-3eBK contains pigment ink engineered specifically for plain paper text, so do not substitute BCI-6BK into the pigment black slot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Canon PIXMA MP750 require two different black cartridges?
The BCI-3eBK uses pigment-based ink designed for sharp, water-resistant text on plain paper. The BCI-6BK uses dye-based ink intended to blend smoothly with cyan, magenta, and yellow during photo and graphics printing.
What happens when a single colour runs low in the PIXMA MP750?
Because the PIXMA MP750 uses individual single-colour tanks, you only need to replace the specific BCI-6 colour cartridge that has run out, preventing ink wastage.
How does the printer decide between BCI-3eBK and BCI-6BK ink?
When plain paper text mode is selected in the print driver, the printer draws from the BCI-3eBK cartridge. Selecting photo paper or high-resolution colour settings signals the printer to draw from the BCI-6 dye inks instead.
