Canon PIXMA G2200

Canon PIXMA G2200 GI-290 Ink Bottles

The Canon PIXMA G2200 is a MegaTank refill-tank printer that prints with GI-290 Black (135 ml, about 6,000 pages), GI-290 Cyan (70 ml, about 7,000 pages), GI-290 Magenta (70 ml, about 7,000 pages), GI-290 Yellow (70 ml, about 7,000 pages). Clever Supplies compatible versions are filled to the original specification and carry a lifetime warranty.

How hard the G2200 works sets the refill rhythm: home printing comes in bursts around school and household jobs, so keep a spare of the bottle that drops first and top up tank by tank, or order the set when several tanks run low together.

A steady home rhythm is what this family was built around: GI-290 was the first MegaTank bottle family Canon sold in the US, and these printers proved refill tanks in the home market, with a 135 ml pigment black bottle and dye-based color bottles at 70 ml each.

Refilling and everyday use

Refills fit the rhythm best when they stay quick and separate: each bottle seats only in its own tank, so uncap the tank, seat the bottle, and wait for the level line. Never mix colors or fill a tank from a different GI family, since the keying reflects different ink formulations. If the level sensor reads wrong after a refill, run the ink flush or level reset from the maintenance menu.
