Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles

When ordering replacement inks for photo printing, purchase extra Photo Cyan (BCI-6PC) and Photo Magenta (BCI-6PM) cartridges alongside standard CMYK packs, as wide-format photographic prints exhaust light-density ink cartridges much quicker than primary colors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do BCI-6 Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta cartridges empty faster than standard Cyan and Magenta?
Wide-format photo printing relies on Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta to render subtle skin tones, highlights, and smooth sky transitions. Because these lighter inks drop microscopic droplets across larger image areas, their depletion rate is significantly higher than primary colour cartridges.
Do I need to replace all BCI-6 ink cartridges at the same time?
No, the Canon S9000 uses individual single-colour ink cartridges, allowing you to replace only the specific colour that has run out without wasting remaining ink in other cartridges.
How should spare compatible BCI-6 cartridges be stored to prevent ink drying?
Keep sealed spare BCI-6 cartridges in their original packaging at room temperature away from direct sunlight; properly stored compatible cartridges retain ink integrity for up to 24 months before installation.
