Product Information

Full details

This guide is for users of Canon ink tank printers, specifically those in the Pixma G1400 series, who need to replenish their yellow ink. The key benefit is achieving crisp, professional color prints with a genuine Canon product designed for optimal performance. A potential caveat is that this is a single ink bottle, and multiple colors are required for full-color printing. The Canon GI-490Y is a 70ml yellow ink bottle, designed as a high-quality OEM replacement for traditional ink cartridges, ensuring consistent color output.

FAQs

Is this ink bottle compatible with all Canon printers?

No, the Canon GI-490Y is specifically designed for Canon Pixma G1400 series printers that feature an ink tank system. Please verify your printer model's compatibility.

What does 'OEM' mean in relation to this ink bottle?

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. This means the ink bottle is made by Canon itself, ensuring it meets the same quality and performance standards as the ink that originally came with your printer.

How do I know when to refill the yellow ink?

Your printer's software will typically display ink levels. You can also check the visual indicator on the yellow ink tank itself. Refill when the level is low to avoid running out mid-print.

Can I use this ink for photos?

Yes, the GI-490Y is formulated for crisp, professional color printing, making it suitable for high-quality photo output when used with compatible photo paper and printers.

What is the warranty on this ink bottle?

The product comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. For specific warranty details related to defects or performance issues, please refer to Canon's official warranty information or the retailer's policy.

How much ink is in the bottle?

Each Canon GI-490Y ink bottle contains 70ml of yellow ink.

Do I need to buy other colors separately?

Yes, this product is a single yellow ink bottle. If your printer uses multiple ink colors (e.g., black, cyan, magenta), you will need to purchase those ink bottles separately.

Troubleshooting

Printer not recognizing new ink

Ensure the ink bottle was correctly seated and the ink tank was filled to the appropriate level. Power cycle the printer.

Yellow color is faint or missing

Check that the yellow ink tank is sufficiently filled. Run a print head cleaning cycle through your printer's maintenance settings. Ensure the nozzle on the ink bottle was properly inserted during refilling.

Ink leakage during refill

Ensure the bottle nozzle is correctly aligned with the ink tank opening before and during the refill process. Do not force the bottle. Wipe away any spilled ink immediately with a damp cloth.

Poor print quality (streaks, blotches)

Perform a print head cleaning cycle. If the issue persists, a nozzle check might be required, followed by print head alignment via the printer's software.
