Canon PIXMA G6020 GI-20 Ink Bottles

The Canon PIXMA G6020 is a photo MegaTank printer that prints with 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). Clever Supplies compatible versions are filled to the original specification and carry a lifetime warranty.

On a photo MegaTank, the economics favor patience: each color bottle holds 70 ml and is rated at about 7,700 pages, while the 140 ml black bottle covers about 6,000. A bottle here is therefore not a weekly expense but a long stretch of printing, and topping up only the low tank is what keeps the G6020 cheap to feed.

A full set of these bottles is rated at 6,000 black and 7,700 color pages in standard mode. The G5020 in this family is print-only, while the G6020 and G7020 add scanning and copying around the same tanks.

Refilling and everyday use

Because each bottle carries thousands of pages, a careful refill protects real value: open the right tank cap, seat the keyed bottle, and let it stop at the full line on its own, a minute's work with no tools. Forcing a bottle into the wrong color tank is the one costly mistake, so wipe any drip, close the cap, and store part-used bottles capped and upright for the next refill. A page or two every week or two is cheap upkeep too, keeping the print head nozzles clear.
