Expected photo and text yield from GI-63 bottles

How to manage stock for a 6-colour photo ink system
If you print black text or high-contrast monochrome prints, Black and Grey bottles will deplete first. For colour portraits, Red and Magenta run down faster due to skin-tone shading. Buying 6-bottle value multipacks ensures all photo channels remain filled without workflow delays. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99, with fast dispatch from our local warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. All genuine Canon ink bottles are covered under our flexible returns policy.
Pro Tip for GI-63 ink maintenance
When refilling a 6-colour photo system, never top up ink channels under direct light, as prolonged daylight exposure inside open bottles can alter the fluid dynamics of Red and Grey inks before pouring.
Match Your Printing Habits to the Right Canon GI-63 Ink Bottle Pack
If all your colours are running low, the 6-Pack GI-63 Genuine (from $147.92) covers every colour in one order and qualifies for free delivery.
If only one colour has run dry, there's no need to replace the rest - a single Genuine GI-63BK cartridge (from $25.16) is the lowest-cost way to keep printing.
For a high-volume office, buying in bulk cuts the cost per unit further - the 12-Pack GI-63 Genuine (from $292.83) is the equivalent option if you'd rather stick with official ink. This qualifies for free delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the GI-63 series include dedicated Red and Grey ink bottles?
Red ink expands the colour gamut for vibrant warm tones and deep sunset hues, while Grey smooths out monochromatic transitions and skin-tone shadows without relying on heavy Black ink, preventing graininess in photo prints.
Why do colour GI-63 bottles show higher page yields than the Black bottle?
Black GI-63BK yield is measured on ISO standard text documents where black ink covers a dense percentage of each page. Colour yields reflect combined usage across composite photographic prints, where individual colours are used in smaller, precise quantities per photo.
What happens if I leave a GI-63 ink bottle partially filled after topping up?
GI-63 bottles feature self-sealing caps designed for multiple refills. Store partially used bottles upright in a cool, dark location with the nozzle cap tightly screwed on to prevent ink evaporation or dust contamination.
Is GI-63 the same as GI 63?
Yes, GI-63 and GI 63 refer to the exact same Canon ink bottle series. The hyphen is simply a formatting preference used by Canon, and both terms represent identical 70ml refill bottles.
