Which ink type in Canon i865?

[mike]

Hi,

Seems like it should be really easy to find answers to these
questions, but I've trawled the archives and Canon's website with no
success.

What type of ink (universal/pigment or dye/photo) do the five
cartridges in an i865 use?

Is the BCI-3eBK a universal/pigment ink for text and the BCI-6BK a
dye/photo ink?

What type of ink is in the colour cartidges BCI-6Y, BCI-6M and BCI-6C?

Thanks for any advice,

Mike

John,
If I only print photo's, will I ever need to refil the BCI-3e ?

Eventually, it gets spent in cleaning cycles.
