Canon Pixma G2600 Ink Bottles
Your Canon Pixma G2600 uses the GI-690 ink bottles, consisting of individual black, cyan, magenta, and yellow ink bottles designed for clean refilling. We have been supplying replacement consumables for this printer since Nov 2016, helping users maintain consistent running costs. Because this four-colour continuous ink system holds vast amounts of fluid, refilling individual colours only when empty eliminates the waste associated with multi-colour printheads. Our 4.8 Google rating is built on dependable cartridge performance and uncompromising product quality.

What to know about compatible cartridges
Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Choosing compatible GI-690 refills allows you to manage printing costs effectively without losing performance integrity. If you want to see how third-party alternatives measure up against name-brand originals, read our comprehensive guide on genuine vs compatible cartridges.
Choosing the right cartridge setup
If you print mainly text documents, keeping a spare black bottle on hand ensures your workflow is uninterrupted, as text-heavy workloads deplete black significantly faster than colour inks. For those managing a balance of graphics and text, multi-bottle bundles offer a highly economical way to replenish the entire system at once. Third-party options include a money back guarantee for complete peace of mind if they do not perform perfectly. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99 (conditions apply). We ship directly from regional warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide to ensure your order arrives promptly.

Pro Tip
When refilling the tanks, never squeeze the plastic bottles forcefully, and stop filling exactly at the upper limit line indicated on the printer body to prevent internal pressure issues or printhead flooding.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix genuine Canon ink bottles with compatible GI-690 bottles in the same printer?
Yes, each ink reservoir is entirely independent, meaning you can safely refill the black tank with a compatible alternative while keeping genuine ink in the cyan, magenta, and yellow tanks.
Why does my Canon Pixma G2600 show an ink low warning when the tanks look full?
Continuous ink printers estimate fluid consumption mathematically based on printed pages rather than physical optical sensors inside the reservoirs, meaning you must manually monitor the ink levels through the transparent windows and reset the internal counter when refilling.
How do I prevent the ink lines from drying out if I do not print frequently?
To maintain fluid movement through the internal supply tubes, perform a basic nozzle check once a fortnight, which uses a fractional amount of ink but prevents air bubbles and blockages from forming within the printhead system.
