Canon GI-490 Yellow Ink Bottle

Canon GI-490 Yellow Ink Bottle

Accurate color reproduction depends on having a properly matched yellow ink in place. The Canon GI-490 Yellow Ink is the genuine ink bottle built for the Canon PIXMA G1000, G2000, G3000, and G4000 series. It refills the printer’s yellow ink tank and restores vibrant color balance across every printed page.

What It Is

This bottle is an original Canon ink formulation engineered specifically for compatible PIXMA MegaTank printers. It supplies dye-based yellow ink, chosen for its ability to produce vibrant, true-to-life color in photos and graphics. The printhead-friendly formula is designed to flow cleanly through the printer’s nozzles without clogging. The re-engineered bottle nozzle locks precisely into the correct tank opening, helping prevent accidental spills or wrong-color refills.

Why Choose the Canon GI-490 Yellow Ink

A few practical qualities make this bottle a dependable choice for accurate color printing.

Vibrant Color Accuracy

Dye-based ink is formulated to match the printer’s internal color calibration exactly, producing richer, more vivid color than many alternatives. This consistency matters most in photos and graphics-heavy documents, where accurate color reflects directly on the final result. Because the bottle is purpose-built for the PIXMA G-series platform, there is no compatibility guesswork involved.

High-Volume Value

A single 70 ml bottle covers roughly 7,000 pages, well beyond what a standard color cartridge provides. This lowers the overall cost per page for households and small offices printing color materials regularly. The large bottle volume means fewer refill stops during frequent color printing.

Canon GI-490 Yellow Ink Use Cases

This bottle fits a range of color printing environments built around the PIXMA MegaTank system.

Everyday Color Documents

General printing tasks such as colored charts, school projects, and family photos rely on accurate yellow tones for a vivid finish. Households and small offices producing mixed color and text documents benefit from consistent output across every page. Users who print occasional color pages alongside black-and-white paperwork find this bottle convenient to keep on hand.

Pro-Level Document Production

Home-based designers and small print shops producing proofs or marketing materials depend on precise color reproduction for every job. Professionals working with photographic prints benefit from the accurate gamut this genuine ink supports. High-volume color users also gain predictability from genuine Canon ink rather than third-party alternatives.
