Maintenance Cartridge Supplies
The Canon MAXIFY GX1060 MegaTank relies on an user-replaceable MC-G05 maintenance cartridge to collect excess ink during automatic printhead cleaning cycles.
Experience Tip: Replacing the MC-G05 maintenance cartridge as soon as the printer signals low capacity prevents unexpected pauses during large document queues.
Choosing the Right Ink Bottling Setup
For high-volume text printing, purchasing GI-55BK black bottles individually or opting for full GI-55 multi-packs ensures you maintain continuous output without unexpected downtime. Stock up on genuine Canon ink bottles to maintain crisp document quality. All purchases are covered by our standard returns policy. We ship directly from strategically located warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99.
Pro Tip
Ensure the printer remains powered on or connected to standby power rather than switching off at the wall, as this prevents excessive automated printhead priming that needlessly fills the MC-G05 maintenance cartridge.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do GI-55 pigment inks differ from standard dye inks in the MAXIFY GX1060?
GI-55 inks use a full pigment formula across all four colours (black, cyan, magenta, and yellow), making prints water-resistant and smudge-proof, which is ideal for business documents and highlighter use compared to standard dye-based inks.
Will the MAXIFY GX1060 operate if the MC-G05 maintenance cartridge becomes full?
No, the printer will halt printing once the MC-G05 maintenance cartridge reaches maximum capacity to prevent internal ink overflow. Keeping a spare MC-G05 unit on hand ensures immediate replacement and zero operational downtime.
Can I top up the ink tanks using GI-55 bottles before they are completely empty?
Yes, you can top up the ink tanks at any time. The GI-55 bottle nozzles are key-coded to fit only their matching colour tank, preventing accidental colour mixing during partial refills.
