Canon PIXMA MP760 Ink Cartridges
Your Canon PIXMA MP760 printer uses the BCI-3e / BCI-6 ink cartridge series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Aug 2026. Designed as a photo all-in-one printer with film scanning, it relies on two distinct black inks alongside individual colour tanks. Text printing depletes the BCI-3eBK pigment tank, whereas photo output draws from BCI-6BK, BCI-6C, BCI-6M, and BCI-6Y dye cartridges. Our 4.8 Google Star rating shows that our customers consistently receive high-quality cartridges backed by reliable performance.
Expected page output and ink replacement
Page yields are measured according to standard ISO testing specifications. With this multi-tank system, general text printing primarily draws from the BCI-3eBK black cartridge, while photo and graphic printing consumes ink across individual BCI-6 dye tanks based on image saturation.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BCI-6BK | Standard | Black | 280 | $0.026 |
| BCI-3eBK | Standard | Black | 500 | $0.016 |
| BCI-6C | Standard | Cyan | 100 | $0.072 |
| BCI-6M | Standard | Magenta | 100 | $0.072 |
| BCI-6Y | Standard | Yellow | 100 | $0.072 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Compatible cartridges.
Choosing compatible ink options
Compatible cartridges offer a budget-friendly solution for high-volume printing without compromising print quality. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. To learn more about how alternative tanks perform against OEM supplies, read our guide comparing genuine vs compatible cartridges.
Best way to stock these cartridges
If you print mostly text documents, ordering individual BCI-3eBK black tanks is ideal. For mixed graphics and photo printing, choosing BCI-6 multi-packs keeps replacement costs lower across all four dye colours. All our compatible cartridges are backed by a money back guarantee.

Pro Tip
Never mix up the two black cartridges during replacement: the wider BCI-3eBK slot takes pigment ink for sharp document text, while the narrower BCI-6BK slot takes dye ink specifically formulated for photo printing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Canon PIXMA MP760 require two distinct black ink cartridges?
The PIXMA MP760 uses a dual-black ink system to maximise output quality on different paper types. The larger BCI-3eBK cartridge uses pigment black ink designed specifically for sharp, smudge-resistant text on plain paper, whereas the BCI-6BK cartridge contains dye-based ink formulated to blend seamlessly with cyan, magenta, and yellow for photos and glossy media.
Can a BCI-6BK cartridge be installed in place of a BCI-3eBK cartridge?
No, they are physically different sizes and serve completely different functions within the printhead assembly. The BCI-3eBK is a wider cartridge designed for document text, while the BCI-6BK is a narrow tank matching the size of the BCI-6 colour cartridges.
What happens if one colour cartridge runs empty while printing photos?
Because each colour in the BCI-6 series operates from an independent tank, the printer will pause print jobs until the empty colour cartridge is replaced. Keeping spare individual BCI-6 tanks or a multipack on hand ensures photo printing tasks are not interrupted.
