Canon 1597C001 GI-290 Magenta Ink Bottle Refill

The Canon GI-290 Magenta Ink Bottle (model 1597C001) is a genuine Canon consumable designed for the PIXMA MegaTank line of printers, including the G1200, G2200, G3200, G4200, and G4210. Unlike traditional cartridge-based systems that require frequent and often expensive replacements, the MegaTank design uses refillable ink reservoirs fed by squeeze bottles like the GI-290. This approach dramatically lowers the cost per page and reduces the frequency of supply changes, making it well suited for users who print in volume.

The GI-290 uses a dye-based ink formulation optimized for vivid, saturated colors. This makes it a strong choice for photo printing and color-heavy documents where visual impact matters. The bottle features a precision nozzle that fits the MegaTank refill port, minimizing the risk of spills during filling. As a genuine Canon product, it is formulated to work with the printer's ink delivery system without clogging or inconsistent output, and it unlocks access to Canon's Creative Park Premium library of downloadable templates and creative projects.
