Canon GX5560 MegaTank Ink Bottles
Shop ink bottles for your Canon MAXIFY GX5560 MegaTank, which uses the Canon GI-66 ink bottles series. Ink Depot has been supplying consumables for this printer since Jan 2025. Designed as a high-volume business printer, routine document workflows deplete GI-66BK black ink much faster than GI-66C, GI-66M, and GI-66Y colour bottles. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected page output and ink usage
Standard page yield for Canon GI-66 ink bottles is determined using the ISO/IEC 24712 test pattern for continuous document printing. A single GI-66BK bottle provides up to 6,000 pages of sharp monochrome output, while cyan, magenta, and yellow bottles yield matching high-volume capacity for coloured office paperwork.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GI-66BK | Standard | Black | 6,000 | $0.006 |
| GI-66C | Standard | Cyan | 6,000 | $0.007 |
| GI-66M | Standard | Magenta | 6,000 | $0.007 |
| GI-66Y | Standard | Yellow | 6,000 | $0.007 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Stocking ink and delivery options
High-yield GI-66 bottles keep running costs minimal for busy commercial environments. If your printer primarily handles invoices and text, keeping spare GI-66BK black ink on hand prevents downtime during high-volume document runs. Multipacks streamline replacement schedules for all four colours. We ship directly from fast warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99. For details on returns, view our returns policy. Browse our full range of Canon ink bottles online.
Pro Tip
Always wait for the ink level to drop to the lower indicator line before uncapping and pouring a new GI-66 bottle; filling partially used ink reservoirs early can throw off the printer's internal ink calculation system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix different ink series inside the Canon MAXIFY GX5560 MegaTank?
No, the MAXIFY GX5560 MegaTank is strictly designed to use Canon GI-66 pigment ink bottles. Using inks from other GI series or unapproved fluids can clog the high-speed printheads and degrade print quality.
How does pigment ink in GI-66 bottles differ from standard dye inks?
GI-66 ink bottles contain pigment-based formulations across black, cyan, magenta, and yellow. Pigment ink dries instantly, making printed text and graphics water-resistant and marker-smudge-proof, which is ideal for professional office paperwork.
Do unused Canon GI-66 ink bottles expire once opened?
Once a GI-66 bottle is unsealed, it should be emptied completely into the corresponding bottle reservoir. Sealed bottles kept in a cool, dry place retain optimal viscosity and shelf life for up to two years.
