The Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 2,250 for a 40ml bottle of genuine Canon dye ink, brand new and sealed. Canon rates the Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle at up to 4,400 pages, or up to 4,600 pages in Economy print mode when a full set of colour bottles is in use. It refills the cyan tank on PIXMA G-series printers that take GI-41 ink. Collect it from our shop at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery.
Designed for home offices, schools and small businesses, the Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle handles the blue in charts, logos, maps and photos. Cyan also mixes into greens and skin tones, so a low cyan tank turns colour prints dull or tinted long before the tank looks empty. Customers across Nairobi tell us they once bought the big bottle, then left it half used on a shelf for months. The Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle suits printers that print mostly black text, with colour for the odd school project, church programme or business flyer. You pay less up front and refill when you need to.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unmarked refill ink in plain bottles, Mascom International stocks sealed Canon bottles with part number 5874C001 printed on the box. Canon Europe calls this bottle the GI-41S C, and it holds the same ink as the larger GI-41 bottle, only less of it. At Mascom International, we're seeing more buyers pick the Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle when they want genuine ink without paying for 70ml they may not use soon. Visit us on Kimathi Street, or order on WhatsApp and pay when it arrives.
Common Questions About the Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle
How much is the Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle 40ml in Kenya?
The Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle 40ml costs KSh 2,250, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. The price covers one 40ml bottle of genuine Canon cyan ink and our 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, with pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya. The 70ml GI-41 Cyan sells at KSh 2,350, only KSh 100 more. A full set of three GI-41S colours costs KSh 6,750, and adding the GI-41S black brings the total to KSh 8,850.
Which printers does the Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle fit?
The Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle fits Canon PIXMA G-series ink tank printers that use GI-41 ink, because it carries the same ink in a smaller bottle. Canon's own store lists GI-41 ink for the PIXMA G3420. To check your printer, look at the ink name printed near the tanks or in the manual. If it says GI-41, this bottle fits. Printers marked GI-490 or GI-71 need their own bottles. Send us your model on WhatsApp and we will confirm it before you pay.
How many pages will the Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle print?
Canon rates the Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle at up to 4,400 pages, or up to 4,600 pages in Economy print mode. Canon works out colour yield as an average across cyan, magenta and yellow when a full set is in use. Your real count moves with what you print. Text with small coloured headings uses little cyan, while full-page photos, maps and blue-heavy slides use far more. At KSh 2,250, the rated figure works out to about KSh 0.51 per page.
Should I buy the Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle or the 70ml GI-41 Cyan?
The 70ml GI-41 Cyan gives 30ml more ink for KSh 100 more, so it costs less per page for heavy colour printing. Canon rates the 70ml colour bottles at up to 7,700 pages, against 4,400 for the 40ml Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle. That is roughly KSh 0.31 a page against KSh 0.51. Pick the 70ml bottle if you print colour every week. Pick the 40ml bottle if colour is occasional, or if you only need to top up a tank that is still half full.
Is GI-41S ink the same as the ink in GI-41 bottles?
Yes, GI-41S bottles hold the same Canon ink as GI-41 bottles, in a smaller 40ml size. That means you can top up a cyan tank that already holds GI-41 ink with the Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle, with no need to drain or flush anything first. The colour on the page stays the same. The only differences between the two are the volume, the price and Canon's rated page count. Choose by how much colour you print, not by any difference in quality.
Does heat and dust in Kenya affect the Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle?
A sealed Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle handles normal Kenyan conditions, but an opened bottle needs a little care. Keep it capped, upright and out of direct sun, away from the window of a hot Nairobi office or a humid shop in Mombasa. Close the tank cover on your printer after each refill so dust from the street stays out of the ink. A KPLC power cut does not spoil the ink already sitting in the tank, so there is nothing to redo once power returns.
Who should buy the Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle, and who should skip it?
The Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle suits home users, students and small offices that print colour now and then and want genuine Canon ink at a lower upfront price. University students at Kenyatta or JKUAT printing coloured assignments are a good fit. Skip it if you run a busy print shop or print colour flyers daily, because the 70ml GI-41 Cyan at KSh 2,350 lasts longer and costs less per page. Skip it too if your printer's label says GI-490 or GI-71.
Can I mix third-party refill ink with the Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle?
Mascom International advises against mixing third-party refill ink with genuine Canon GI-41S cyan in the same tank. Unbranded inks are made to different recipes, and two inks mixed in one tank can shift colours or leave deposits in the print head. Once mixed, you cannot separate them again. If your tank already holds unknown ink, print it down before you switch. Sticking with the Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle keeps your colours consistent from one refill to the next.
Technical Specifications
Ink Formulation and Page Yield
- Genuine Canon dye-based cyan ink — the same ink Canon fills into its larger GI-41 bottle, so colours match between sizes.
- 40ml of ink in one bottle — a smaller fill for buyers who print colour now and then and refill as needed.
- Rated up to 4,400 pages — Canon's standard figure, worked out as an average across the three colour inks.
- Up to 4,600 pages in Economy print mode — a lighter print setting that stretches ink on drafts and internal copies.
- About KSh 0.51 per page at the rated yield — a simple way to estimate your monthly colour cost before you buy.
- Dye ink soaks into the paper fibres — colours blend smoothly, which suits charts, logos and photos on plain or photo paper.
Printer Compatibility
- Fits Canon PIXMA G-series ink tank printers that take GI-41 ink — look for the GI-41 code printed near the tanks.
- Canon's own store lists GI-41 ink for the PIXMA G3420 — so this bottle refills the cyan tank on that model.
- Same ink as GI-41 Cyan — top up a tank that already holds GI-41 cyan without draining it first.
- Not for printers marked GI-490 or GI-71 — those models use a different ink code and need their own bottles.
- Fills the cyan tank only — magenta, yellow and black each have their own GI-41S bottle on the same shelf.
- Unsure of your model? Send a photo of the printer label on WhatsApp and we will confirm before you pay.
Bottle Design and Build
- Plastic refill bottle sealed at the factory — the seal shows the ink has not been opened, diluted or swapped.
- Cap closes the bottle between refills — leftover ink stays clean and ready for the next top-up of your tank.
- Cyan named on the label and box — easy to match with the cyan tank and avoid pouring the wrong colour.
- Canon part number 5874C001 on the box — use it to check you are buying the genuine 40ml cyan bottle.
- Compact 40ml size — fits on a desk shelf or in a drawer beside the printer without taking much room.
- Store upright, capped and out of direct sun — heat near a window is the main thing to avoid with opened ink.
What Comes in the Box
- One Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle holding 40ml — sealed inside Canon retail packaging, ready to refill your tank.
- Box marked GI-41S C with part number 5874C001 — the code Canon Europe uses for this exact cyan bottle.
- No print head, cartridge or tools — the bottle refills the tank already on your printer, so nothing else is needed.
- One colour per box — magenta, yellow and black GI-41S bottles are sold separately to build a full set.
- Covered by the Mascom International 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
Package Contents
The Canon GI-41S Cyan Ink Bottle comes as one sealed 40ml bottle of genuine Canon cyan ink in its Canon box, marked GI-41S C. There is no cartridge, print head or tool to fit, because the bottle refills the cyan tank already built into your printer. Your printer's manual shows the refill steps. Magenta, yellow and black GI-41S bottles are sold separately at Mascom International, so you can buy only the colour that is running low.
