Canon MAXIFY GX6560 MegaTank Ink Bottles
Your Canon MAXIFY GX6560 MegaTank uses the GI-66 ink bottles, an ultra-high-yield four-colour individual ink bottle system designed for demanding workspaces. We have been supplying replacement consumables for this printer since Oct 2023, helping businesses maintain low running costs. Our 4.8 Google rating proves it: we consistently supply premium cartridges backed by rock-solid reliability. Because these office tank printers process heavy print volumes, most small businesses switch to a high-yield bundle buying behaviour to ensure colour and black ink supplies are restocked simultaneously before a low-ink warning disrupts workflow.
Real-world page yield and ink usage
These high-capacity ink bottles are designed to deliver a massive number of prints, keeping your ongoing printing costs extremely low. Page yield measurements for this desktop office setup are determined by the manufacturer using the standard ISO/IEC 24712 testing patterns for continuous colour inkjet printing.

Choosing between genuine and compatible options
Our premium compatible GI-66 ink bottles offer an exceptionally affordable alternative to the original manufacturer refills without sacrificing clear text or sharp business graphics. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. To understand your rights and see how third-party inks perform against original brands, you can read our guide on genuine vs compatible cartridges.
Replacing the MC-G01 maintenance kit
Alongside the liquid refills, this office printer uses an MC-G01 maintenance kit to collect excess ink from automated printhead cleanings. The printer tracking software will notify you when this collector box is nearing capacity. Experience Tip: Replacing the MC-G01 maintenance kit is a simple slide-out process that takes less than a minute and requires no specialised tools, instantly resetting the printer's internal waste ink counter.
Strategic stocking and fast delivery
If your daily workflow consists mostly of text documents, your black ink supply will naturally drain faster than your colours, making individual bottle top-ups ideal. For office environments with multi-user demands, selecting a full multi-pack bundle prevents sudden downtime. All third-party compatible replacements come backed by a full money-back guarantee for complete peace of mind. We process and ship orders directly from regional distribution warehouses located in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99 (conditions apply).

Pro Tip
Always let the ink bottle drain completely into the storage tank until the flow stops automatically. Never squeeze the bottles during the replenishment process, as these gravity-fed nozzles are designed to prevent overfilling and pressure imbalances within the printhead system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix a compatible GI-66 ink bottle with genuine Canon ink already in the printer?
Yes, you can safely top up individual reservoirs with compatible GI-66 fluid even if the remaining tanks still contain original manufacturer ink. The chemical formulations are fully miscible, meaning they blend together without clotting or impacting printhead performance.
Why does the printer require an MC-G01 maintenance kit if it uses ink bottles?
Unlike traditional printers that contain small internal waste pads, this high-volume office printer redirects excess ink from automated nozzle-cleaning cycles into a user-replaceable MC-G01 maintenance box. This prevents the internal components from flooding during heavy-duty print periods.
Will my page yield drop significantly if I print text documents in draft mode?
Using draft or economy mode actually extends your yield well beyond the standard ratings by reducing the density of ink droplets per page. This is a highly effective strategy for office printing where internal documentation doesn't require full contrast.
