The BCI6 cartridge is a dye based photo black while the larger BCI3 series
cartridge contains a pigmented black which is used in non-photo applications. The selection of which black is utilized is governed by the application software and the type of paper selected. Banding may be caused by not having properly aligned the print cartridges or by some slight incompatibility with the type of photo paper (usually a non-Canon type) you are using. If you are using one of the Canon Photo Glossy papers than alignment is my guess. BTW, I have found the Ilford Glossy Photo paper an excellent and lower cost alternative to the Canon Pro paper for use with my iP5000. "fay10" wrote in message news:1109210462.564521@ftpsrv1...

BCI3eBK is pigmented black and is used only for text. The BCI6 carts
are used for photos. Are you using and have you always used Canon ink? Did you put the right carts in the right slots? If you reversed the blacks you might have the pigmented cart causing problems. fay10 wrote: I am getting terrible "Banding" from the Black Prints of my Pixma 5000..

If you reversed the blacks you might have the pigmented cart causing problems. I see you don't actually own a Canon printer. You can't reverse the blacks - the BCI-3e black is twice as wide as the BCI-6 black. -Taliesyn |
