1.3 BJ Cartridge
1.3.1 Black BJ cartridge
The Black BJ cartridge is to be mounted on the left side of the carriage for high speed
color/monochrome printing. It is a disposable print head. It has 160 nozzles and
accommodates a replaceable ink tank. It uses drop modulation technology for high
speed, high quality printing, where smaller ink-droplets are discharged for low density
images and larger ink-droplets for denser images. The pigment black ink is water
resistant and allows for dense and sharp text printing.
Replace the ink tank and/or the Black BJ cartridge if the ink-out error is issued or if
satisfactory printing cannot be achieved even after the stipulated cleaning and head
refreshing operations have been performed. It is recommended to replace any
cartridge which is at least six months old, i.e., unpacked at least six months prior.
The Black BJ cartridge has a life of approximately 5000 pages, and a new black ink
tank provides for approximately 500 pages of a standard 1500 character print pattern
in HQ mode.

droplets for denser images. Each color ink is a dye-type.
