Key Facts

What's in the Box

• 1 × Canon BC-20 Black (0895A003)

Page yield: Canon never published an ISO page yield for this older cartridge; retailers commonly quote about 900 pages. Because the print head is part of the cartridge, a clogged or worn head is swapped out every time you change the cartridge. Each remanufactured BC-20 is print-tested before it ships.

Remanufactured vs. Compatible vs. Original

Original (OEM) cartridges are new from the printer brand and cost the most. Remanufactured cartridges, like this one, start as genuine original shells that are cleaned, refilled with high-quality ink and print-tested, so they fit like the original at a fraction of the price. Compatible cartridges are built new by a third party. Castle Ink sells remanufactured inkjet cartridges and compatible (newly manufactured) toner.

Is the BC-20 the same as the BC-21e or BC-22e?

No. The BC-20 is a black cartridge with a built-in print head; the similar-looking BC-21e/BC-22e heads and BCI-21 ink tanks are separate parts.

Will this void my printer warranty?

No. Under the U.S. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer can't void your printer warranty just because you used a third-party or remanufactured supply. If a non-original cartridge directly caused damage, that specific repair might not be covered.

Does the BC-20 include a print head?

Yes. The BC-20 has the print head built into the cartridge, so replacing the cartridge also replaces the print head.

How much will I save versus the original?

The genuine Canon BC-20 (0895A003) has been discontinued by Canon; remaining retail stock typically sells for about $26–$33 (checked October 2026). This cartridge is $19.95.

How long can I store it?

Store it sealed, at room temperature and out of direct sunlight, and use it within about 24 months for best results. Once opened, install it promptly.
