Part Number: BCI-3BK, BCI-3eBK, 4479A003, BCI3BK, BCI3eBK, 4479A003AA High yield black ink cartridge. If you were using one of those or even an iP4000 you'd probably be getting the deeper blacks.Canon BCI-3BK / Canon BCI-3eBK Black Ink Cartridge (Canon BCI3BK / Canon BCI3eBK Ink)
I personally don't think you really get to a true photo printer with Canon until you get up to the iP6000 with the six-color printing system. Aside from the PictBridge support, it is pretty much a normal 4-color general use printer. The lack of support for the 6bk cartridge and the fact that it only has four colors of ink (not the six or eight that most photo printers use) make the iP3000's claim to being a photo printer a bit dubious. I'm thinking that the black ink in the 3e just wasn't quite designed to be as good of a photo ink as the 6bk. You really want two very different formulations of ink for photos and plain paper, since you want your photo ink to be absorbed into the paper, while with text it comes out sharper of the ink just sticks to the top of the paper. If you look at Canon's printer line-up, you'll notice that the iP4000 and iP5000 use BOTH the 3e-bk and 6bk, which leads me to believe that the 3e-bk doesn't work as well on photo paper as the 6bk. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always gotten the impression that this is more of a text/general use cartridge compared to the 6bk that you find in the iP4000 and up. I know that Canon advertises this machine as a "photo" printer, but it uses the 3e-bk black cart.
