I have a Canon MP780 printer. I have blue, red and yellow and 2 different black tanks. One is BCI-6 black the other one is BCI-3 black. When I print text, the BCI-3 ink is used. For what is the BCI-6 black? What is the difference between these two blacks? BCI-3 black, red, yellow, blue is empty, BCI-6 is just 50% empty.

Please disregard all the other comments to your question.
Your Canon MP780 uses 5 ink cartridges. The blue (cyan), red (magenta), and yellow are, of course, your color cartridges. The two black cartidges are for two different functions. The larger one is used for printing regular documents. It is often called page-black. The smaller one is used for your photos (photo-black), as this machine is also a photo machine (hence the large LCD screen).

Your printer can use BCI-3eBk or BCI-6Bk.

Difference is only that BCI-3eBk have more ink than BCI-6.
It's same ink formula in both these cartridges. So next time get BCI-3 black.

BCI 6 is a lighter dye based black, it is mostly used for photo printing.

the BCI - 6 is a high capacity cartridge while the 3 is a low capacity.

pretty sure that the tribal ink is used to do tribal tattoos and the outliner ink is to do regular tattoo outlines...

You use black more than any other color so its just there as reserve.

You can choose which tank to use in properties.
