Use the BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge for high quality color printing. Use the BC-22e Photo BJ Cartridge for photo-realistic color printing. Use the BC-20 Black BJ Cartridge for high speed, black ink only printing. Use the BC-29F Neon BJ Cartridge for fluorescent inks.

When you install the BC-22e Photo BJ Cartridge, you must set up the printer driver for Photo Color mode. See page 13 for details.
