Industrial thermal Bubble Jet printhead optimized for aqueous pigment inks in Canon imagePROGRAF W6400 and W8400 wide-format plotters.
OEM Replacement Component
Original Canon BC-1350 Printhead
OEM Part Number: 0586B001 / 0586B001AA (BC-1350) | Dedicated Pigment-Ink Thermal Bubble Jet (FINE) Wide-Format Printhead
Large-Format Platform & Pigment Formulation Distinction
The Canon BC-1350 Printhead (OEM Part Number 0586B001 / 0586B001AA) is an authentic OEM thermal Bubble Jet printhead engineered specifically for Canon’s aqueous pigment-ink production platforms, including the 24-inch imagePROGRAF W6400 Pigment (W6400P) and 44-inch imagePROGRAF W8400 Pigment (W8400P / 6-color system). Chemistry Pairing Note: While the companion BC-1300 (8004A001AA) is tuned for dye-based inks, the BC-1350 is built with specialized anti-abrasion coatings and modified drive pulse tables to jet encapsulated resin pigment particles (BCI-1431 / BCI-1451 series) without nozzle clogging or thermal kogation.
Product Overview
The Original Canon BC-1350 Printhead (0586B001AA) is a genuine factory-original thermal Bubble Jet drop-on-demand (DoD) replacement printhead engineered for archival photographic printing, museum-grade fine art reproduction, GIS mapping, and outdoor-durable signage. Functioning as a universal single-color component across the 6-head scanning carriage, six identical BC-1350 printheads mount into the assembly to individually service the Matte Black / Photo Black (MBK/BK), Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y), Photo Cyan (PC), and Photo Magenta (PM) pigment ink channels.
Housing an integrated dual-staggered silicon nozzle array with 1,280 active addressable nozzles, the BC-1350 fires uniform 4 picoliter (pL) micro-droplets at native output resolutions up to 2400 × 1200 optimized DPI. Engineered using Canon’s FINE photolithographic manufacturing process, the internal chamber walls and heater resistors incorporate tantalum passivation layers to resist chemical erosion and mechanical wear caused by solid pigment particles. The printhead integrates onboard EEPROM tracking for closed-loop thermal compensation, ensuring color repeatability, high UV resistance, and lightfastness across fine art rag papers, canvas, banner vinyl, and photo satin media.

Key Features & Operational Advantages
- Universal 6-Slot Single-SKU Architecture: One part number (0586B001AA) fits all six carriage positions in pigment-configured plotters, minimizing spare parts inventory while allowing targeted replacement of single worn heads.
- Anti-Cavitation Pigment Hard-Coat: Tantalum-reinforced micro-heaters and specialized fluidic coatings withstand mechanical impact and abrasive wear from suspended pigment resins, preventing early kogation and channel failure.
- Precision 4 pL Micro-Droplets: Consistent droplet geometry produces smooth photographic skin tones, high optical density in dark shadow details, and clean line definitions down to 0.02 mm without satellite misting.
- Active EEPROM Head Rank Compensation: Transmits factory-calibrated resistor values to the carriage board, dynamically matching firing voltages across all six heads to preserve neutral grey balance and color accuracy.
CRITICAL TECHNICAL & OPERATIONAL ADVISORY
1. Chemistry Incompatibility with Dye Systems (BC-1300): The BC-1350 is calibrated specifically for aqueous pigment inks (BCI-1431/1451). It must not be mixed with dye inks. Introducing dye ink into a pigment-primed head (or vice versa) will cause immediate chemical destabilization, resin precipitation, and permanent clogging of the micro-fluidic filter screens. For dye-based plotters (W2200, W6400D, W8400D), use the dedicated BC-1300 (8004A001AA).
2. Platform Differentiation from BC-1000 and PF Series: The BC-1350 is engineered for W-series pigment printers (W6400P / W8400P). It is completely incompatible with early 4-head BJ-W3000 plotters (BC-1000 series) and modern integrated 6-channel FINE printheads (PF-01 through PF-10). Attempting to seat BC-1350 units in iPF/PRO carriages will damage carriage latches.
3. Slot Priming & Irreversible Channel Contamination: While the BC-1350 is universal when new, once seated into a carriage slot and primed with ink, residual pigment cannot be completely purged from internal fluidic filters. Swapping a used head into a different color slot will cause permanent color shifting across output prints.
4. Electrical Contact Pad Care: Avoid touching the gold contacts on the rear of the printhead housing or the silicon nozzle orifice plate. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) or body oils can cause heater line failures. If cleaning is needed, wipe gently using an approved cleanroom swab dampened with deionized water.
