Canon MAXIFY GX6160 MegaTank Ink Bottles
Your Canon MAXIFY GX6160 MegaTank uses the GI-66 ink bottles. Our 4.8 Google Star rating shows that our customers consistently receive high-quality cartridges backed by reliable performance. Supplying consumables for this printer since May 2025, we understand its four-colour individual ink bottle refill system. Small businesses choose this setup for high-volume text and colour production, where individual colours deplete independently, allowing you to top up only the specific bottle required rather than replacing multiple tanks.
Expected page output and replacement cycles
These high-yield ink bottles are engineered to handle demanding workplace workloads with minimal maintenance. Page yields for these office-focused refills are measured under the ISO/IEC 24711 standard for continuous colour printing, offering a highly predictable cost per page that helps small businesses budget effectively for large print runs.

Best way to stock these cartridges
If your office prints mainly text documents with occasional company logos, your black ink will naturally run down much faster than the cyan, magenta, and yellow bottles. For teams managing mixed document workflows, securing a complete bundle pack is the most efficient choice to avoid sudden colour imbalances during multi-page print runs. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99 (conditions apply). We ship directly from our national network of warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide to ensure your workplace stays online. View our returns policy at Ink Depot Returns.

Pro Tip
When refilling the printer, ensure you do not squeeze the GI-66 ink bottles forcefully; the smart bottles are designed with a unique nozzle mechanism that stops flowing automatically once the internal reservoir reaches its maximum fill line.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix partially used GI-66 colours or do I have to wait until they are completely empty?
You can top up any colour at any point before the ink level drops below the lower line on the printer reservoir. It is highly recommended to refill them before they run completely dry to prevent air from entering the printhead lines.
Why does the black GI-66BK bottle have a different page yield estimation compared to real-world office printing?
The standard ISO yield tests use a specific percentage of page coverage. If your office regularly produces heavy legal contracts, duplex invoices, or full-page graphics, your actual ink usage will vary from the stated laboratory test benchmarks.
Is it necessary to perform printhead cleans every time I open a new GI-66 ink bottle?
No, unlike traditional cartridges that introduce air into the system during a swap, refilling the reservoir via the spill-resistant bottle mechanism does not require a compulsory printhead cleaning cycle, saving you valuable ink.
