Frequently Asked Questions

How is this cyan different from cyan in a home photo printer?

It is pigment ink, not dye. In the GI-25 family every color is pigment-based, because the MAXIFY GX line is built for office documents rather than glossy photos. Pigment cyan holds its edge on plain paper, so chart bars, diagrams and blue headings stay crisp instead of feathering into uncoated stock.

Which machines does the cyan bottle refill?

The Canon MAXIFY GX1020 and the Canon MAXIFY GX2020 are the only two. GX tank openings are keyed by color and by family, so this bottle seats on the cyan tank of those printers and nowhere else — not on the other GX tanks, and not on PIXMA G tanks.

How much ink is in the bottle, and what yield does that give?

The bottle holds 37 ml and is rated at up to 3,000 pages under ISO/IEC 24711 conditions at around 5% coverage. Business color is usually accent color — a chart here, a logo there — so a compact bottle lasts a long time in that role. Full-color handouts draw it down much faster.

Walk me through refilling the cyan tank.

Open the cyan tank cap, uncap the bottle and seat its keyed nozzle onto the tank opening. Hold it in place while the ink flows; the GX design stops the flow by itself at the full line. There is no squeezing step and no funnel. When it stops, lift the bottle away, recap it and close the tank.

What tells me the cyan tank is running low?

The front tank window is the reliable gauge — check the cyan column against its lower line during routine use. On output, watch for blues shifting toward purple and greens losing their blue component in charts. Catching it at the line keeps a big job from printing with skewed colors.

Is any reset or chip involved when I refill cyan?

None. A GI-25 bottle has no chip, the GX printers track the physical ink level in the tank, and the refill needs no menu steps or on-screen acknowledgment. Anyone in the office can top up cyan without worrying about recognition messages, because there is no cartridge to recognize.

How should a partly used cyan bottle be kept?

Cap on, bottle upright, room temperature, away from sunlight and radiators. The sealed nozzle keeps the remaining pigment ink from skinning over between uses. Store it with the other GX bottles so the next person refilling finds the right color quickly, and keep it out of reach of children.

My chart blues look purple after a refill. Where is the fault?

Usually not the bottle. Print the nozzle check pattern and inspect the cyan block; missing segments mean the cyan channel needs a cleaning cycle, not more ink. If the pattern is complete, check the document's color settings and the paper type in the driver, since a photo-paper setting on plain paper distorts blues.

What are my options for the other tanks, and how is this covered?

The rest of the family is the GI-25 Black, GI-25 Magenta and GI-25 Yellow, with the GI-25 Set of 10 for heavier stock. This is a Clever Supplies compatible GI-25 bottle, not a Canon original, backed by a Lifetime Warranty and 1 Year returns — a leaking or poor-printing bottle is replaced or refunded.
