Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
The Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle is available at Mascom International for KSh 2,650, a brand new and sealed 135ml bottle of pigment black ink that Canon rates at up to 6,000 pages. It refills the black tank of PIXMA G-series ink tank printers that use the GI-41 code, including the PIXMA G3420. Switch the printer to economy mode and Canon puts the same bottle at up to 7,600 pages. You can collect the Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle from our shop at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or have it delivered to your office.
Built for accountants, lawyers, university students and small office managers across Kenya, the Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle carries the ink that does most of the daily work: invoices, contracts, KRA iTax acknowledgement slips, eCitizen forms and long assignments. The weak point of an ink tank printer is rarely the printer itself. It is the bottle of unknown origin bought in a hurry from a street stall, which can clog the print head and leave grey, streaky letters. A sealed original bottle fills the black tank with the pigment ink the printer was designed around, so text stays dark and readable page after page.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops treat printer ink as an afterthought on a back shelf, Mascom International stocks sealed Canon bottles alongside the printers that use them, and our staff can check your printer model before you pay. Customers across Nairobi tell us the black tank is the one they refill most, which is why we keep the Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle in steady supply. Walk into our Kimathi Street store, or order on WhatsApp and pay when the Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle reaches your door anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle
How much is the Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle in Kenya?
The Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle costs KSh 2,650 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers one 135ml bottle of pigment black ink, the 6-month warranty described below and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. The matching cyan, magenta and yellow GI-41 bottles each sell for KSh 2,350, so the black costs KSh 300 more for nearly twice the volume. A full four-colour refill comes to KSh 9,700 at current prices.
How many pages does the Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle print?
Canon rates the Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle at up to 6,000 pages in standard mode and up to 7,600 pages in economy mode. At KSh 2,650, that works out to about 44 cents of black ink per page, or about 35 cents in economy mode. Real results depend on what you print: a page of dense tables uses far more ink than a short letter. The bottles bundled with a new printer yield less, because part of that first ink fills the system during setup.
Which printers use the Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle?
The Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle refills PIXMA G-series ink tank printers built around the GI-41 ink system, and Canon pairs it with the PIXMA G3420. The quickest check is the ink code printed on your printer's tank cover, its box or its manual: it should read GI-41. If it shows a different code, this bottle is the wrong one. Send a photo of your printer's model label to Mascom International on WhatsApp and we will confirm the match before you pay.
Is the Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle the same as the Canon GI-490 black, and which should I buy?
No. The Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle and the Canon GI-490 black serve different generations of PIXMA G-series printers, and they are not interchangeable. Both hold 135ml, and Mascom International sells the GI-490 black for KSh 2,350, which is KSh 300 less than the GI-41. Price should not decide this choice. Buy the bottle whose code matches your printer's tank label: a GI-41 printer needs GI-41 ink, and an older GI-490 machine needs GI-490 ink.
Does Nairobi dust affect refilling the Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle?
Dust is a real risk when refilling the Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle in offices around Industrial Area, Eastleigh or along busy roads. Open the tank cap only when you are ready to pour, keep the bottle cap on until the last moment, and close both straight after. Wipe the printer's top cover first so grit does not fall into the open tank. Store the sealed bottle in its box, in a drawer, away from the window and direct sun.
Who should buy the Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle, and who should skip it?
The Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle suits anyone running a GI-41 PIXMA printer who prints mostly text: law firms, accountants, schools, churches and students preparing project reports. Skip it if your printer takes cartridges rather than refill bottles, or if it is an older ink tank model built for GI-490 ink; buy the bottle your printer's label names. Anyone printing only a page or two a month may find a small cartridge printer simpler to own.
Is the Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle good for a cyber café or busy office?
Yes, the Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle is a sound choice for cyber cafés printing KRA PIN certificates, eCitizen applications and CVs all day. At about 44 cents of ink per page, one bottle covers up to 6,000 pages before you spend another KSh 2,650. Many shop owners buy two at once, so a fresh bottle is on hand when the tank runs low in the middle of a queue. Canon itself packs two black bottles in the PIXMA G3420 box.
How do I refill the black tank without spilling the Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle?
Refilling with the Canon GI-41 Black Ink Bottle takes a couple of minutes and needs no tools. Open the printer's tank cover, lift the black tank cap, remove the bottle cap and seat the bottle nozzle in the black tank inlet. Canon shapes each GI-41 nozzle to fit only its matching tank, so black cannot go into a colour tank by mistake. Watch the level through the tank window, then lift the bottle out and close both caps.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Ink
- 135ml of pigment black ink — enough for up to 6,000 pages at standard settings, by Canon's own yield rating.
- Economy mode rating of up to 7,600 pages — useful for drafts, internal memos and school handouts where full darkness matters less.
- Pigment-based formula — the ink Canon designed for black text on plain paper, giving sharp letters on contracts and forms.
- About 44 cents of ink per page at KSh 2,650 — roughly KSh 4.40 for every ten pages of text you print.
- Original Canon ink — matched to the printer's print head, so you avoid the clogging risk that comes with unknown refill ink.
- Yield varies with content — dense spreadsheets and pages with large dark areas draw more ink than double-spaced letters.
Compatibility
- Fits PIXMA G-series ink tank printers that use GI-41 ink — Canon pairs this bottle with the PIXMA G3420.
- Check the code on your printer — the tank cover, manual or box should read GI-41 before you buy.
- Not a GI-490 substitute — the GI-490 range serves an earlier PIXMA G generation, and the two are not interchangeable.
- Black tank only — this bottle refills the black reservoir, while cyan, magenta and yellow use their own GI-41 bottles.
- Confirm on WhatsApp — send a photo of your printer label and Mascom International staff will check the match for you.
Build and Bottle Design
- Keyed nozzle — Canon shapes the black bottle tip to fit only the black tank inlet, which prevents colour mix-ups.
- Direct refilling — ink goes straight from the bottle into the tank, with no syringe, funnel or cleaning cloth needed.
- Bottle cap — close it firmly after a partial refill so the leftover ink stays clean for next time.
- Sealed from the factory — the bottle arrives brand new in Canon packaging, untouched before it reaches you.
- Compact size — fits a desk drawer, so a spare can sit beside the printer in a small office.
- Tank window on the printer — after pouring, you can see the black level through the tank front at a glance.
Inclusions and Running Cost
- One sealed GI-41 black bottle — no printer, cables or other colours come with this purchase.
- KSh 2,650 per bottle — about 35 cents a page in economy mode, using Canon's 7,600-page rating.
- Two bottles yield up to 12,000 pages — the black capacity Canon quotes for the PIXMA G3420 with its two black bottles.
- Colour bottles sold separately — cyan, magenta and yellow GI-41 bottles cost KSh 2,350 each at Mascom International.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery — available in all 47 counties, so you pay only once the bottle is in your hands.
