Product Information

Full details

The Canon GI-50PGBK High Yield Ink Bottle is designed for Canon PIXMA G5050, G6050, and GM2050 printer users who need to print a high volume of documents with crisp, black text. Its key benefit is the exceptionally high page yield of 6,000 pages, significantly reducing the cost per page and the frequency of refills. A potential caveat is that it is a pigment-based ink, which is optimized for document text and may not be the ideal choice for high-quality photo printing where dye-based inks might be preferred.

FAQs

What printers are compatible with the Canon GI-50PGBK ink bottle?

The Canon GI-50PGBK ink bottle is compatible with the Canon PIXMA G5050, PIXMA G6050, and PIXMA GM2050 printers.

How many pages can I expect to print with one GI-50PGBK bottle?

You can expect to print up to 6,000 pages with a single bottle of Canon GI-50PGBK black ink under typical usage conditions.

Is this ink suitable for printing photos?

The GI-50PGBK uses pigment-based ink, which is optimized for sharp, crisp black text documents. While it can print images, it may not produce the same vibrancy and color depth as dye-based inks typically used for high-quality photo printing.

How does the refill system work?

The ink bottle features a 'no-squeeze' design and a securely fitting nozzle that only dispenses ink when inserted into the corresponding tank. This system is designed for a mess-free and hassle-free refill process.

What is the difference between pigment-based and dye-based ink?

Pigment-based ink particles are solid and sit on top of the paper, providing sharp text and better smudge resistance. Dye-based inks are liquid and soak into the paper, often offering more vibrant colors for photo printing.

How should I store unused ink bottles?

Store unused ink bottles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is securely sealed.

Where is the Canon GI-50PGBK ink bottle manufactured?

This Canon ink bottle is manufactured in Japan.

Troubleshooting

Ink not dispensing

Ensure the ink bottle nozzle is firmly inserted into the ink tank opening. Verify that the correct ink tank (black) is being used and that the printer is compatible. Check that the ink tank cap is properly closed after refilling.

Print quality is poor (streaky or faint text)

Perform a print head cleaning cycle through your printer's maintenance menu. Ensure you are using genuine Canon ink and that the ink tank is sufficiently filled. Check for any physical blockages in the ink delivery system.

Printer not recognizing the ink

Confirm that the ink bottle is the correct model for your printer (GI-50PGBK for G5050/G6050/GM2050). Ensure the bottle was installed correctly and that the printer's firmware is up to date.

Ink bottle leaked during refill

Immediately clean up the spilled ink with a damp cloth. Avoid touching the ink directly. Ensure the bottle cap is securely replaced after refilling and that the ink tank cap is also properly sealed.
