Canon PIXMA G2260

Canon PIXMA G2260 GI-21 Ink Bottles

The Canon PIXMA G2260 is a MegaTank refill-tank printer that prints with GI-21 Black (170 ml, about 6,000 pages), GI-21 Cyan (70 ml, about 7,700 pages), GI-21 Magenta (70 ml, about 7,700 pages), GI-21 Yellow (70 ml, about 7,700 pages). Clever Supplies compatible versions are filled to the original specification and carry a lifetime warranty.

Mixed use is the everyday pattern for a PIXMA G2260: long document runs draining the black tank, broken by color pages drawing on the other three. As a MegaTank refill-tank printer, it is restocked bottle by bottle, tank by tank. Check the code on your current bottle before ordering.

Judge this family by the work each bottle does. Canon's headline yields are 6,000 pages in black, the document side, and 7,700 per color. The stock also travels across generations: later printers, the G3270 and G4280 generation, carry the same tanks as the G1220, so one bottle stock serves old and new machines alike.

Refilling and everyday use

Whether the tank ran down on documents or on color, the refill itself takes a minute and needs no tools. Open the right tank cap, seat the keyed bottle and let it fill — the flow stops at the full line on its own. Never force a bottle into the wrong color tank, and wipe any drip before closing the cap. Keep part-used bottles capped and upright; the ink keeps until the next refill. A page or two every week or two keeps the print head nozzles clear on any MegaTank printer.
