Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix GI-55 pigment inks with standard dye-based Canon inks?
No. GI-55 inks use an all-pigment formulation designed specifically for the MAXIFY GX series printheads. Mixing dye inks will cause printhead clogging, smudge risk on plain paper, and reduced water resistance.
Why do all four GI-55 colours share the exact same 3,000-page yield rating?
ISO testing applies uniform 5% coverage per colour channel. In real-world office use, black ink depletes faster due to heavy text printing, while cyan, magenta, and yellow wear down evenly during graphic output.
What happens if I top up the ink tank before it reaches the lower fill line?
You can top up the tanks at any time. The printer's internal ink counter resets via the screen prompt, ensuring accurate monitoring regardless of when you refill.
