Canon GI-20 Ink Bottles

This page covers the GI-20 family for 3 Canon printers: GI-20 Black (140 ml, about 6,000 pages), GI-20 Cyan (70 ml, about 7,700 pages), GI-20 Magenta (70 ml, about 7,700 pages), GI-20 Yellow (70 ml, about 7,700 pages). Every Clever Supplies version is filled to the original specification and covered by a lifetime warranty.

The GI-20 bottles serve the single-function and all-in-one MegaTank models in the Gx020 line. Canon rates a set at 6,000 black and 7,700 color pages, and the keyed bottle design keeps the wrong color out of the wrong tank.

Which GI-20 should you buy?

Compatible Canon GI-20 Black Ink Bottle — $14.99 — usually the first tank to run low.
Compatible Canon GI-20 Cyan Ink Bottle — $10.49 — refills only the cyan tank, when cyan is the color dropping fastest.
Compatible Canon GI-20 Magenta Ink Bottle — $10.49 — refills only the magenta tank, on its own level.
Compatible Canon GI-20 Yellow Ink Bottle — $10.49 — refills only the yellow tank, when yellow is the low one.
Compatible Canon GI-20 Set of 4 BCMY Ink Bottles — $37.44 — best value if you print in volume or want every slot covered.

Refilling and everyday use

Top up by the tank that is actually low, not by a schedule: the refill system is keyed, self-stopping and spill-free, there is no chip to reset after a refill, and the printer reads the tank level directly. Use only the bottle color that matches the tank, and once that tank is filled, let the ink settle for a few minutes before a big print run. Store opened bottles capped, upright and out of sunlight. Regular light use is the best maintenance — an idle MegaTank print head clogs sooner than a busy one.
