Choosing between genuine and compatible options
Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Third-party GI-66 alternative bottles provide a cost-effective choice for small businesses seeking to reduce overheads without affecting everyday print output. You can read a full comparison of these options in our genuine vs compatible cartridges blog post.
Managing other printer consumables
This printer utilises an internal MC-G03 maintenance kit to collect surplus ink during automatic printhead cleaning cycles. Experience Tip: When the printer signals that the maintenance box is full, it will halt all printing operations, so keeping a spare box on hand prevents total office disruption.
Best way to stock these cartridges
For workplaces focused on text documents, buying individual black bottles is standard practice, while multipacks offer better value if your office produces heavy presentation materials. All third-party alternatives come backed by a comprehensive money-back guarantee, allowing you to buy risk-free via our Returns policy. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99 (conditions apply), shipped quickly from our regional warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Pro Tip
Always wait until the ink level drops below the lower line on the printer window before refilling, but never let the ink wells empty completely, as running a printhead dry can pull air into the ink lines and cause permanent internal blockages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix a compatible GI-66 bottle with a genuine Canon bottle already in the printer?
Yes, each ink well operates independently, allowing you to refill individual colours with compatible ink while keeping genuine ink in the remaining reservoirs without causing chemical reactions or delivery issues.
Why do the compatible colour bottles show higher page yields than the genuine bottles?
Compatible GI-66 formulation bottles are often filled to maximum physical capacity, providing up to 14,000 pages of colour text output compared to the standard genuine fill limits, lowering the replacement frequency for high-volume offices.
How do I know when the MC-G03 maintenance kit needs to be replaced instead of the ink?
The printer will display a specific error code indicating the maintenance box is full. Unlike ink levels which decrease gradually based on what you print, the maintenance kit fills up based on the frequency of printhead cleans and system flushes.
