Hi all,

is there any 3rd party manfacturer around which got a reasonable Magenta
replacement ink for Canon's iP4200/5200/... printers?

Someone claimed recently that no one cares to print different labels on
different bottles, assuming that it's the same ink everywhere.

I just had a look for a newer InkTec version, which still is the common
C8050 type (replacement for BCI-5, BCI-6 and CLI-8). AFAIK this will
work ok for Yellow and Cyan, while Magenta is different.

From InkTec I see that they have loads of different colors. Here's a
sample of Magenta:

Light Magenta:

C8050 Canon BCI-5PM/6PM
H5058 HP C6658A

Magenta:

C6031 Canon BCI-3M/3eM
C6032 Canon BCI-3PM/3ePM
C8050 Canon BCI-5M/6M
C8405 Canon BC-05
C8422 Canon BC-22
H2043 HP C4843A
H3028 HP C8728A
H5057 HP C6657A
H8425 HP51625A
H8449 HP51649A
H8610 HP C5010A
H8623 HP C1823A, C6625A
H8640 HP51640M
H8641 HP51641A
H9078 HP C6578A
L1026 Lexmark 10N0026/ 10N0227
L1520 Lexmark 15M0120/ 15M0125
L1760 Lexmark 17G0060/16G0065
L1842 Lexmark 18L0042
L1980 Lexmark 12A1980/12A1985
L1990 Lexmark 12A1990
L8619 Lexmark 1380619/ 13619HC
X4080 Xerox 8R7880/8R7882
X4091 Xerox 8R12591
X7004 Xerox 8R7904, Olivetti B0218R
X7072 Xerox 8R7972/73/74 Y101/102/103


This should be an obvious proof that some companies put different
labels on their bottles. InkTec offers different sizes, such as
20 ml (-20M: around $2-3),
100 ml (-100, $8),
250 ml (-250, $12-15),
1000 ml (-01L, $50) or
20 000 ml (-20L).

Prices are estimations based on Euro-prices. The order number is
composed from printer company (C = Canon), color id, ink size and color type,
such as "C8050-20LM" for 20 litres of the BCI-6M replacement.

One might argue that it's always the same ink, just using different
stickers. I doubt so.

But the question remains: Is there any company with good replacemnt
magenta?

I see many 3rd party cartridges by now, which offer all colors. The
cartridges are unchipped - you have to take the chip from an original
cart. and put it on the replacement part. AFAIK you'll loose the
full/empty status for this cartridge. But I wonder whether those sets
have a reasonable Magenta within.
