The item 8190A002 from Canon is an original ink cartridge multipack of type BCI-15BK, specifically developed for inkjet printers. It is a double pack containing two black ink cartridges made with pigment-based ink. These ink cartridges are intended for use in various Canon printers, including the models i80, i70, PIXMA iP90, PIXMA iP90v, and PIXMA iP90v Refurbished. The pigment ink enables high colour and detail accuracy, as well as improved resistance to light and moisture, making it particularly suitable for printing documents and photos on various media.
Applications
The ink cartridges are designed for use in office and home applications where high print quality and long-term durability of prints are required. They are especially suitable for printing text documents, presentations, technical drawings, as well as photo prints on paper and other print media. The use of pigment ink ensures good water resistance and high colour intensity, keeping prints stable even after prolonged storage or outdoor use.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The cartridges are packaged as a multipack, containing two individual cartridges. Each cartridge enables printing up to 121 ISO pages (A4 documents) according to the ISO/IEC 24712:2006 standard, equating to a total of 242 pages per pack. Alternatively, up to 910 photos can be printed with each cartridge, according to the ISO/IEC 24711:2006 standard. The pigment-based ink provides high print quality and improved resistance to environmental influences such as light and moisture.
Technology Explained Simply
The pigment ink used consists of finely dispersed colour pigments in a liquid, which are applied to the paper during printing. Unlike dye-based inks, which dissolve into the paper, pigment inks sit on the surface, enabling higher resistance and better colour accuracy. The ink cartridges are designed for inkjet printers, where the ink is applied in fine droplets onto the print medium. The cartridges are equipped with a special chip that enables communication with the printer and monitors the ink level.
Compatibility and Accessories
The ink cartridges are compatible with Canon printers i80, i70, PIXMA iP90, PIXMA iP90v, and PIXMA iP90v Refurbished. These are original products from Canon, specifically developed for these printer models. Using original ink ensures optimal print quality and prevents potential damage to the printer. There are no additional accessories specifically recommended for these cartridges.
Installation and Mounting
Installation of the ink cartridges is done by inserting them into the printer, placing them into the designated slots. The printer automatically recognises the new cartridge and may perform a calibration. The exact procedure is described in the user manual of the respective printer. The cartridges are easy to handle and require no special tools or additional steps during installation.
Operational Advantages
Using pigment ink provides high print quality, improved resistance to light and moisture, and high colour intensity. The ink cartridges offer a high page yield of 242 pages per pack, reducing operating costs. Original Canon cartridges ensure optimal compatibility with the printers and prevent potential issues with print quality or printer functionality. The inks are suitable for office and home applications and provide reliable performance throughout the entire lifespan of the cartridges.
