Maybe the print heads on other printers are different but I suspect any
printer using both the BCI-3 and BCI-6 black tanks operate the same way.

They all do, as well as the newer ones with the "5/8" inks. It's one of the
things that makes Canon unique, and is the basis of the feature of having
the large pigment black tank in the first place. Saves money on black ink
too, and the large pigment-only black head makes document printing much
faster.
