Canon GI 490 C Ink Bottle
The Canon GI 490 C Ink Bottle is a cyan ink bottle from Canon’s MegaTank ink bottle series, designed for high-volume printing with Canon PIXMA G-series printers. The MegaTank system uses large-capacity ink tanks that allow users to print more for less, providing significant cost savings in comparison to traditional ink cartridges. The GI-490 C is part of this series and is used specifically for color printing when paired with other inks in the GI-490 series, such as black (BK), magenta (M), and yellow (Y).

- Environmentally Friendly:
- Since the MegaTank system uses refillable ink bottles instead of disposable ink cartridges, the overall environmental impact is reduced. This eco-friendly design is more sustainable for users who regularly print high volumes of documents.
