Canon 1595C001 GI-290 Black MegaTank Ink Bottle

The Canon GI-290 Black Ink Bottle (model 1595C001) is a genuine Canon consumable designed specifically for the MegaTank series of refillable ink tank printers. Unlike traditional ink cartridges that hold a small amount of ink behind a printhead assembly, the GI-290 is a standalone bottle of pigment-based black ink that feeds directly into the printer's built-in reservoir. This design enables dramatically higher page yields — up to approximately 6,000 black-and-white pages from a single bottle — translating to a cost per page that is a fraction of what conventional cartridge printers deliver.

The pigment-based formulation is purpose-built for text output, producing dense, sharp black characters that dry quickly and resist smudging and water exposure. Canon's keyed bottle nozzle system ensures each ink color can only be inserted into its matching tank, virtually eliminating the risk of cross-contamination or accidental spills during refilling. Compatible with MegaTank models including the PIXMA G1200, G2200, G3200, G4200, and G4210, the GI-290 Black is an essential supply for anyone using these printers for high-volume document printing. As an added benefit, using genuine Canon ink bottles grants free access to Canon's Creative Park Premium, a library of downloadable templates, crafts, and printable content.
