 Canon BC-21e is a SHAM Jul 16, 2000
By Vernon R Young
... The BC-21e does not last for 20 tanks, more like 3 or 4. Canon cartridges have become too expensive for me to use. I'm buying an HP.

By Dana Bates
Canon claims this cartridge last for 20 tanks of ink. It does not ! More like 5 tanks. Other Canon users have complained about this product also.

This ... Mar 08, 2001
By Jason T. Turner
I've have this cartridge for over 2 years now and have changed the ink tanks about 4 or 5 times. Then, all of a sudden, tha damn thing doesn't print any blue. I tried everything I could think of to try to save it, and nothing works. Now I'm forced to spend almost another $... to buy a new cartridge just for the ink head. That .... Canon better get their stuff together and start making products that last. Or else they're gonna lose even more customers.

BC-21e cartridge expensive, junk Apr 20, 2003
My condolonces if you own any Canon printer that uses this cartridge. It is so unreliable. I've seen 2 BC-21e cartridges (not to be confused with the ink tanks that go in it) fail, after very light use - after just a few replacements of the ink tanks. There's no excuse for a $50 "non-disposable" part to fail so readily, after barely any use. The Multipass C-530 printer only cost $, so we won't be throwing good money after bad. NO MORE Canon printers! Next time it's an HP or Epson. (Had an Epson Stylus Color for 5+ years before I gave it away, still working good as new.) If you only print occassionally, inkjets in general are not the way to go. Laser printers are much more dependable, and can sit around longer and still work when you need them.

This is just pure garbage Jan 30, 2001
Canon makes things that look good in the store, seem reasonable on the price, but when you take them home, they fall apart. Such is the case with the BC-21e cartridge. This thing cost as much as the printer itself, and mine FAILED after only 3 replacements. I don't abuse my equipment. I use it for normal tasks. Canon's product was just not ready for regular use.It would be nice if most people are as fortunate as the last reviewer, who has been able to use this past 5 ink-cartridge changes. Unfortunately, from my experience, I think that's more the exception to the rule. Stay away from Canon. It's a roll of the dice that you are probably going to end up losing.
