Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance. Document-heavy output rapidly consumes GI-690BK black ink, while colour tasks balance usage across GI-690C, GI-690M, and GI-690Y bottles.

Choosing Compatible GI-690 Ink Bottles
Compatible GI-690 ink bottles offer an economical alternative to genuine Canon refills without compromising print performance or vibrant colour outputs. Compare genuine and compatible cartridges to decide which option suits your printing volume. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty.
Stocking Up on GI-690 Refill Bottles
For regular text documents, purchasing individual GI-690BK black bottles keeps everyday printing moving. For mixed colour graphics and photos, full multipack bundles prevent unexpected colour depletion. Choosing compatible bottles lowers total printing costs and includes a money-back guarantee for peace of mind. View our returns policy for details.

Important Refill Tip
Keep a spare GI-690BK black bottle on hand even when purchasing full colour sets, as document printing consumes black ink significantly faster than cyan, magenta, or yellow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix genuine Canon GI-690 ink with compatible GI-690 ink in the printer?
Yes. Compatible GI-690 ink bottles are formulated to be fully chemically compatible with genuine Canon GI-690 ink, allowing you to top up ink reservoirs with compatible ink even if genuine ink remains inside.
How do I know when to order replacement GI-690 ink bottles?
Unlike traditional chip-based cartridges, the G3600 relies on visual ink levels visible through the front ink level windows. Order fresh GI-690 bottles when ink levels approach the lower fill line to prevent running the printhead dry during long print runs.
Why do GI-690 colour bottles have a higher page yield than the black bottle?
The GI-690 colour bottle yield rating of 7,000 pages is calculated based on combined cyan, magenta, and yellow usage across composite test pages, whereas the GI-690BK black bottle rating of 6,000 pages reflects pure black text coverage.
