Canon MAXIFY GX4060 MegaTank Ink Bottles
Your Canon MAXIFY GX4060 MegaTank uses the GI-66 ink bottle series along with MC-G03 maintenance cartridges. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Oct 2023. Designed for high-volume office environments, the MAXIFY GX4060 handles heavy document workflows with pigment-based ink for sharp, water-resistant text. Business users typically replenish GI-66BK black ink more frequently during routine document printing, making multi-packs a practical option. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected Page Output and Refill Cycles
GI-66 ink bottles deliver up to 6,000 pages in black and 14,000 pages in colour under Economy mode testing. Canon measures these yields using ISO/IEC 24711 continuous printing standards on A4 plain paper. High-capacity refill tanks minimise maintenance cycles during heavy business print runs.

Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Bottles
Both genuine Canon and compatible GI-66 ink bottles are engineered to supply consistent fluid delivery to the continuous ink tank system. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Compatible refills allow small businesses to lower operating expenses without sacrificing print density or text sharpness.

Maintenance Components and System Care
The MAXIFY GX4060 features a user-replaceable MC-G03 maintenance cartridge that absorbs excess ink during printhead cleaning cycles. Experience Tip: Replacing the MC-G03 unit as soon as the printer prompts prevents unexpected print delays during urgent multi-page jobs.
Selecting the Right Refill Option
Selecting GI-66 bottle bundles offers the best value for busy offices printing high daily page volumes. Compatible ink bottles are backed by our 100% money-back guarantee, covered under our simple returns policy. Browse our complete range of Canon ink bottles with confidence.

Pro Tip
Keep the printer plugged in and powered on so it can perform automatic, low-volume background nozzle maintenance. Turning the unit off at the wall forces a full cleaning cycle on restart, which consumes significantly more ink unnecessarily.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do GI-66 pigment inks differ from standard dye-based refill inks?
GI-66 bottles contain full pigment inks for all four colours (black, cyan, magenta, and yellow), whereas standard desktop ink tank printers often use dye-based inks for colour. Pigment ink sits on top of paper fibres rather than soaking in, producing water-resistant, highlighter-proof business documents that will not smudge.
What happens when the MC-G03 maintenance cartridge becomes full?
When the MC-G03 reaches capacity, the GX4060 halts printing until a fresh cartridge is inserted. Unlike older ink tank models that required service centre visits to replace waste ink pads, the MC-G03 can be swapped out by the user in under a minute without tools.
Can I top up the GX4060 ink tanks before they are completely empty?
Yes, you can top up the continuous ink tanks at any point. The key-coded bottle nozzles match only their corresponding colour tank, preventing accidental colour mixing during routine top-ups.
