Frequently Asked Questions

Why is yellow the hardest tank to judge by eye?

Yellow ink is pale, so its level line is the least visible of the four, especially under warm lighting. Look against the white markings on the tank window rather than straight through the ink. Because yellow builds every green, orange and warm highlight, missing a low tank dulls whole prints quietly.

Which printers take this yellow bottle?

The GI-20 yellow bottle is verified for the Canon PIXMA G5020, Canon PIXMA G6020 and Canon PIXMA G7020. No other MegaTank models are on its list. Each GI generation keys its bottles to its own tanks, so another family's yellow may look identical yet refuse to seat.

What work does yellow do that I would actually notice?

Yellow mixes with cyan to make every green and with magenta to make orange and warm red. It also carries sunshine tones, food photography and chart highlights. When yellow fades, grass turns blue-green, oranges go muddy and photos lose sunlight.

How many pages does this bottle cover?

Canon rates the GI-20 yellow bottle at about 7,700 pages from its 70 ml fill. That estimate rests on standard test pages with light mixed coverage. Full-color flyers, worksheets with big yellow banners or photo pages use far more per sheet. Use the rating for comparisons, and the window for reordering.

How do I refill without overfilling a tank I can barely see?

The system handles the hard part. Seat the keyed bottle in the yellow opening and the ink flows, then stops on its own at the full line even if you cannot watch the level rise. Do not squeeze to hurry it. That automatic stop makes refilling a pale ink safe.

Is there any reset step once the yellow tank is full?

None at all. This GI-20 bottle carries no chip, so the printer has nothing to recognize and you have nothing to reset. Ink level on a MegaTank is a physical fact you see in the window. Close the yellow cap securely and the printer is ready; no on-screen confirmation is expected.

Does yellow run out faster or slower than the other colors?

It depends on what you print. Projects and photos heavy on greens and warm tones consume yellow steadily, while blue-heavy documents spare it. In mixed home use the colors drift down at different speeds, which is why Canon sells them individually. Refill only what is low instead of following a fixed schedule.

How do I store a yellow bottle I only partly used?

Put its own cap back on right away, stand it upright, and keep it in a cool place out of direct sunlight. Yellow is topped up less dramatically than black, so a part-used bottle can wait a long time. Upright, sealed storage keeps the nozzle clean and prevents slow shelf leaks.

Which companion bottles complete the set?

The rest of the family is GI-20 Black, GI-20 Cyan and GI-20 Magenta. If a window check shows several tanks low together, the GI-20 Set of 4 restocks all four in one order instead of piecemeal purchases.

Is this an original Canon product, and how is it covered?

No, it is a Clever Supplies compatible GI-20 yellow bottle with 70 ml of dye ink, filled to the original specification. It comes with a Lifetime Warranty: if it leaks, fails or prints poorly, we replace it or refund you. Returns are accepted for 1 Year.
