These, with respect are not stupid questions. For example when canon
made the switch from the bci-3 inks to the bci-3e inks this is
something that the manual said nothing about. After all the manual is
a static document that doesn't tell you the future... but from my
understanding you could use the -3e inks in a -3 printer so long as you
got a driver update.

Similar deal with the bci-6 vs bci-7 inks, both the pixus and pixma
models use the same head if i'm to believe the box. While this isn't
likely supported by canon, you can tell any pixma it's a pixus with a
few push buttons. This *may* apply to the cli-8 but i'm not positive.


So the only thing stupid with all due respect is taking a printer's
manual on faith and assuming that whatever was printed years ago
applies today. Canon goes out of their way to take old technology and
repackage it as new. A smart person asks questions. Perhaps one day
you will understand this.

I have NO clue about bci-3e inks... I believe they are also Chromalife
and often cost less than the bci-6 counterparts.

So, how long did it take you to think up this clever and useful response?
