Canon GI-490 Magenta Ink Bottle

Advanced Pigment Technology

The GI-490 utilizes Canon’s proprietary ChromaLife100+ pigment system. This technology ensures vibrant magenta tones with exceptional fade resistance. Additionally, the ink maintains consistent color density throughout extended print runs.

High-Yield Performance

Each Canon GI-490 bottle contains sufficient ink for approximately 7,000 standard pages. Furthermore, the bottle’s design minimizes waste through its precision dispensing mechanism. The integrated spill-proof cap prevents contamination during storage and handling.

Compatibility Features

The GI-490 works seamlessly with Canon’s PIXMA G1010, G2010, G3010, G4010, and G5010 series printers. Moreover, the ink’s viscosity specifications match these printers’ internal mechanisms perfectly. This ensures optimal flow rates and prevents printhead clogging.

Print Quality Specifications

Canon’s GI-490 produces color gamut coverage of 98% sRGB standard. The ink also delivers optical density ratings of 1.8 for solid magenta areas. These specifications result in accurate color reproduction for both graphics and photographs.
