Mascom International stocks the Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle at KSh 2,250, a brand new and sealed 40ml bottle of genuine Canon dye ink. Canon gives the Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle a rating of up to 4,400 pages, rising to 4,600 pages in Economy print mode with a full set of colour bottles. Canon's part number for it is 5875C001, and the box reads GI-41S M. It tops up the magenta tank on PIXMA G-series printers built for GI-41 ink. Our shop is at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for churches, event planners, schools and small shops across Kenya, the Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle carries the pinks, reds and purples in posters and programmes. Magenta also blends into oranges and warm skin colour, so when it runs low, faces look green and red logos print brown. Many owners only notice after a whole batch of wedding programmes comes out wrong. The Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle lets you refill the one tank that is empty for less money than a 70ml bottle. It makes the most sense when magenta drains faster than your other three colours.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that mix sealed and refilled bottles on one shelf, Mascom International sells only sealed Canon ink with the part number visible. The Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle holds the same ink as the 70ml GI-41 Magenta in a smaller bottle. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the smaller size suits printers used a few times a week rather than all day. Walk in to Kimathi Street with your printer model, or order on WhatsApp and pay when the bottle reaches your door.
Common Questions About the Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle
What is the Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle 40ml price in Kenya?
The Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle 40ml sells for KSh 2,250, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi. That price buys one 40ml bottle of genuine Canon magenta ink with a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, and delivery is pay-on-arrival. The bigger 70ml GI-41 Magenta costs KSh 2,350. Cyan and yellow GI-41S bottles are the same KSh 2,250, so all three colours cost KSh 6,750 together, or KSh 8,850 with the GI-41S black.
Will the Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle work in my PIXMA G3420?
Yes, the Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle works in the PIXMA G3420, which Canon's own store lists as a GI-41 printer. GI-41S is the same ink as GI-41 in a 40ml bottle, so any PIXMA G-series model that takes GI-41 magenta takes this one too. Check the ink code printed beside your printer's tanks. If it reads GI-490 or GI-71, this bottle is not the right match. Our team on WhatsApp can confirm your model in a minute before you order.
How long will one Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle last?
One Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle is rated by Canon for up to 4,400 pages, or 4,600 in Economy print mode. In practice that depends on how much red and pink you print. A small office printing letters with a red logo may go many months on one bottle. A shop printing full-colour posters will use it much faster. Canon's colour figure is an average across the three colour inks, so magenta alone can run out sooner on red-heavy work.
Is the 70ml GI-41 Magenta better value than the Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle?
Per page, yes: the 70ml GI-41 Magenta costs KSh 2,350 for up to 7,700 pages, about KSh 0.31 a page. The Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle costs KSh 2,250 for up to 4,400 pages, about KSh 0.51 a page. For KSh 100 more you get 30ml extra. The 40ml bottle wins when your budget this week is tight, when magenta is rarely used, or when the tank needs only a partial top-up to get through a job.
Why are reds and pinks printing faded on my Canon ink tank printer?
Faded reds and pinks on a PIXMA G-series printer most often mean the magenta tank is low. Check the level through the tank window first. If it sits near the lower line, refill it with the Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle. If the tank is full and colours still look wrong, run a nozzle check from the printer menu, then a cleaning cycle. Bring the printer to our Nairobi CBD shop if the problem stays after that, and we will take a look.
Can I pay with M-Pesa and get the Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle delivered outside Nairobi?
Yes, you can pay by M-Pesa or cash when the Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle arrives, anywhere in Kenya. Mascom International delivers pay-on-arrival to all 47 counties. Orders in Nairobi and its environs arrive the same day, and towns such as Eldoret, Kisumu and Nakuru get delivery the next business day. Send your printer model, location and phone number on WhatsApp to place the order. You only hand over money once the sealed bottle is in your hands.
Who is the Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle right for, and who should skip it?
The Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle is right for homes, schools and small offices that print some colour each week and want genuine Canon ink at a lower price per bottle. It also suits anyone whose magenta tank runs low before the rest. Skip it if you print colour posters or photo jobs all day; the 70ml GI-41 Magenta at KSh 2,350 lasts much longer. Skip it as well if your printer takes GI-490 or GI-71 ink.
Is the Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle good for printing photos?
The Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle is a dye ink, which Canon uses for colour on its PIXMA G-series printers, and dye blends smoothly for photos. Magenta carries much of the warmth in skin colour, sunsets and flowers, so a full tank keeps those shades natural. For framed prints or ID photos, use glossy photo paper and the photo setting in your printer driver. On plain paper, colours print softer, which is fine for school work and handouts.
Technical Specifications
Ink Formulation and Page Yield
- Genuine Canon dye-based magenta ink — the same formula as the 70ml GI-41 Magenta, so prints look identical whichever size you use.
- 40ml fill per bottle — a smaller amount for printers that see colour work a few times a week, not all day.
- Rated up to 4,400 pages by Canon — measured as an average across cyan, magenta and yellow with a full set installed.
- Up to 4,600 pages in Economy print mode — a lighter setting that saves ink on drafts, notes and internal handouts.
- About KSh 0.51 per page at the rated yield — work it out against your weekly colour volume to plan spending.
- Dye ink absorbs into the paper surface — reds, pinks and purples blend smoothly across photos, posters and logos.
Printer Compatibility
- Fits Canon PIXMA G-series ink tank printers that use GI-41 ink — the ink code is printed beside the tanks or in the manual.
- PIXMA G3420 confirmed — Canon's own store lists GI-41 ink for this model, and GI-41S holds that same ink.
- Mixes safely with GI-41 Magenta already in the tank — no need to drain or flush before you top up.
- Not a match for printers coded GI-490 or GI-71 — those G-series models need bottles made for their own ink system.
- Fills the magenta tank only — cyan, yellow and black are sold as separate GI-41S bottles at the same counter.
- Not sure which printer you own? Send a photo of the model label on WhatsApp and we confirm the fit first.
Bottle Design and Build
- Factory-sealed plastic bottle — an unbroken seal tells you the ink inside is untouched Canon stock, not a refilled bottle.
- Cap closes the bottle between top-ups — any ink left over stays clean for the next time the tank runs low.
- Magenta named clearly on the label and box — quick to match with the magenta tank so colours do not get mixed.
- Canon part number 5875C001 printed on the box — the reference to quote when checking you have the genuine 40ml magenta.
- Small 40ml bottle — takes little room on a desk shelf, in a drawer or in a printer cupboard.
- Keep it upright, capped and away from direct sun — heat is the main risk to an opened bottle of ink.
What Comes in the Box
- One Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle with 40ml of ink — sealed in its Canon retail box, ready to refill your tank.
- Box labelled GI-41S M with Canon part number 5875C001 — Canon's own code for this 40ml magenta bottle.
- No cartridge, print head or refill tools — the bottle pours straight into the tank already fitted to your printer.
- Single colour only — cyan, yellow and black GI-41S bottles are bought separately to complete a four-bottle set.
- Covered by the 6-month Mascom International warranty against manufacturing defects, handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
Package Contents
Inside the box you get one sealed Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle holding 40ml of genuine Canon magenta ink, labelled GI-41S M. Nothing needs fitting, since this is refill ink for the magenta tank your printer already has, and the printer's manual covers the pouring steps. Mascom International sells the cyan, yellow and black GI-41S bottles separately, so you replace only the colour that has run low instead of paying for a full set.
Warranty
The Canon GI-41S Magenta Ink Bottle comes with a 6-month Mascom International warranty covering manufacturing defects, meaning a bottle or ink that is faulty from the factory. Claims are handled in person at our service desk, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
