Surprisingly, the newer MX700 gave a much inferior printout than the i560. These results show that in addition to the blacks being not as dark on the three dye ink printers, the detail is not as clear in the dark areas compared to the four color printer. The first image is the one that I did my comparison with many years ago. The i560 and iP4000 used BCI-6 dye ink cartridges while the MX700 uses CLI8 dye ink cartridges. I used new sets of Canon OEM ink cartridges in all printers. I purchased a used iP3000 which had a bad print head but uses the same one as the i560 in hopes that I could swap them but that didn't work so I have to settle for printouts from the i560 to approximate what the iP3000 might do.

The first two have three dye ink cartridges (no photo black) while the third printer has four dye ink cartridges (including photo black). I did a test of two images on three printers: an i560, an MX700 and an iP4000. I could do a test with whatever refill ink I have in it now it will have to wait til I get back from a trip. My MX-700 is a 3-dye ink printer but I don't have a set of Canon inks.

I'm also wondering if refilling with Hobbicolors one-size-fits-all UW8 ink improves the darkness of blacks with a 3-dye ink printer. So for Justin, the issue for the iP3000 is whether having the darkest blacks on photo paper is important and if so, whether he plans on using Canon ink or refill ink. I don't even remember if I had the same type of refill ink in both printers. When I did my comparison many years ago, it was with BCI-6 printers (iP3000 and iP4000) and I don't remember what inks but probably not Canon. The printers that The Hat is doing his comparison test with use the CLI-8 cartridges (and probably refilled ink) and probably result in a different conclusion than when done with printers that use the BCI-6 cartridges and Canon ink or refilled ink. I'm beginning to think that the change Canon made with CLI-8 inks (over the BCI-6 inks), especially in the magenta ink, was to improve the darkness of black when printing from a 3-dye ink printer.
