The Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle sells at Mascom International for KSh 2,100, a brand new and sealed 70ml bottle of genuine Canon pigment black ink. Canon rates the Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle at up to 3,100 black pages, or up to 3,900 pages in Economy print mode. Canon lists it as the GI-41S PGBK, part number 5859C001. It refills the black tank on PIXMA G-series ink tank printers that take GI-41 ink. You will find it at our shop in Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or we can deliver it.
Built for lawyers, accountants, school bursars and NGO field staff across Kenya, the Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle handles the bulk of everyday printing: letters, invoices, receipts, reports and exam papers. Black is the tank that empties first in most offices, often weeks before the colours. Pigment ink sits on top of the paper instead of soaking in, so small fonts stay sharp and lines stay clean under a highlighter. The Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle gives you that pigment black in a 70ml size, for buyers who want a lower price than the large 135ml bottle.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell loose black ink of unknown origin, Mascom International stocks sealed Canon bottles with the part number on the box. The Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle holds the same pigment ink as the 135ml GI-41 Black, just less of it. Buyers throughout Kenya report keeping one 70ml black bottle as a backup, so a dry tank never stops a filing deadline. Visit us on Kimathi Street with your printer model, or order on WhatsApp and pay when the bottle arrives.
Common Questions About the Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle
What is the Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle 70ml price in Kenya?
The Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle 70ml is KSh 2,100, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That buys one 70ml bottle of genuine Canon pigment black ink, backed by a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, with pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya. The 135ml GI-41 Black costs KSh 2,650, which is KSh 550 more for nearly double the ink. Paired with the three GI-41S colour bottles, a full four-bottle set comes to KSh 8,850.
Is the Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle pigment or dye ink, and why does it matter?
The Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle is pigment ink, which Canon labels PGBK, short for pigment black. Pigment particles rest on the surface of the paper instead of soaking into its fibres. That keeps text edges sharp, even at small font sizes, and makes printed lines less likely to smear when you run a highlighter over them. The colour inks in PIXMA G-series printers are dye-based, so photos still blend smoothly while black text stays crisp and dark.
How many pages does the Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle print?
One Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle is rated for up to 3,100 black pages, stretching to 3,900 pages in Economy print mode. At KSh 2,100, the standard figure works out to about KSh 0.68 per page. Real results depend on what you print. A one-page letter with short paragraphs uses far less ink than a dense spreadsheet or a scanned document full of dark areas. Economy mode prints a lighter black, which suits drafts and internal copies.
Should I get the Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle or the 135ml GI-41 Black?
The 135ml GI-41 Black is the better buy for heavy printing, giving up to 6,000 pages for KSh 2,650, about KSh 0.44 per page. The Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle gives up to 3,100 pages for KSh 2,100, about KSh 0.68 per page. For KSh 550 more, the larger bottle holds 65ml extra. Pick the 70ml bottle if your budget today is tight, if you print a modest amount, or if you want a spare in the drawer.
Which printers take the Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle?
The Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle fits Canon PIXMA G-series ink tank printers that use GI-41 ink, since it holds the same pigment black as the GI-41 Black bottle. Canon's own store lists GI-41 ink for the PIXMA G3420. Your printer's ink code is printed near its tanks and in the manual, so check that it reads GI-41. Printers coded GI-490 or GI-71 need different bottles. Our team can confirm your exact model on WhatsApp before you order.
Is the Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle good for KRA, eCitizen and school documents?
Yes, the Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle is well suited to KRA returns, eCitizen forms, tender documents and school reports, because pigment black prints sharp and dark on plain paper. Small print, barcodes and QR codes on government forms come out clean and easy to scan. Students at the University of Nairobi and Strathmore printing long assignments also benefit from the low cost per page. For signed contracts and filed records, pigment black is less prone to smearing when handled.
Who should buy the Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle, and who should skip it?
The Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle suits homes, students and small offices that print a few hundred black pages a month and want genuine Canon ink at a lower upfront price. It also works as a backup bottle for a busier office. Skip it if you run a print shop or a law firm printing thousands of pages a month; the 135ml GI-41 Black at KSh 2,650 lasts nearly twice as long. Skip it as well if your printer is coded GI-490.
Can I use the GI-490 black bottle in my GI-41 printer instead?
No, put only GI-41 or GI-41S ink into a printer whose tanks are marked GI-41, such as the PIXMA G3420. Canon gives GI-490 a separate ink code because it belongs to a different group of PIXMA G-series printers. Mascom International does stock the Canon GI-490 Black 135ml at KSh 2,350, but it is the right choice only when your printer's label says GI-490. For a GI-41 printer, the Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle or the 135ml GI-41 Black is the correct match.
Technical Specifications
Ink Formulation and Page Yield
- Genuine Canon pigment black ink, labelled PGBK — particles sit on the paper surface, so text edges stay sharp and dark.
- 70ml of ink per bottle — a mid-sized fill for homes and small offices that print black pages most days of the week.
- Rated up to 3,100 black pages by Canon — the standard figure for everyday letters, reports and invoices on plain paper.
- Up to 3,900 pages in Economy print mode — a lighter black for drafts, internal memos and copies you only need to read once.
- About KSh 0.68 per page at the rated yield — a simple figure for planning monthly printing costs in a small business.
- Same pigment ink as the 135ml GI-41 Black — print quality does not change whichever bottle size you choose to buy.
Printer Compatibility
- Fits Canon PIXMA G-series ink tank printers that take GI-41 ink — the ink code is printed beside the tanks and in the manual.
- Confirmed for the PIXMA G3420 — Canon's own store lists GI-41 ink for this model, and GI-41S carries that same black ink.
- Tops up a tank already holding GI-41 Black — the pigment ink is identical, so nothing needs draining or flushing first.
- Not suitable for printers coded GI-490 or GI-71 — those models use a separate ink system and need bottles made for it.
- Refills the black tank only — cyan, magenta and yellow GI-41S bottles are sold separately at KSh 2,250 each.
- Not sure which model you own? Send a photo of the printer label on WhatsApp and our team confirms the fit before you pay.
Bottle Design and Build
- Plastic bottle sealed at the factory — the unbroken seal shows genuine Canon stock that has not been opened, diluted or refilled.
- Cap closes the bottle between refills — leftover pigment ink stays clean and ready for the next time the black tank drops.
- Black named on the label and box as GI-41S PGBK — easy to match with the black tank and avoid pouring into a colour tank.
- Canon part number 5859C001 on the box — the code to quote when checking you have the genuine 70ml pigment black bottle.
- 70ml size in a compact bottle — fits in a desk drawer or printer cupboard without taking up much room in a small office.
- Keep it upright, capped and out of direct sun — heat is the main thing to avoid once a bottle of ink has been opened.
What Comes in the Box
- One Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle holding 70ml of pigment ink — sealed in Canon retail packaging, ready to refill your tank.
- Box marked GI-41S PGBK with Canon part number 5859C001 — Canon's own reference for this exact 70ml black bottle.
- No cartridge, print head or tools — the bottle pours into the black tank already built into your printer, so nothing else is needed.
- Black only — the cyan, magenta and yellow GI-41S bottles are bought separately, letting you replace one colour at a time.
- Covered by the 6-month Mascom International warranty against manufacturing defects, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
Package Contents
Each box contains one sealed Canon GI-41S Black Ink Bottle with 70ml of genuine Canon pigment black ink, marked GI-41S PGBK and part number 5859C001. There is no cartridge or print head to install, because the ink pours straight into the black tank built into your printer, and the printer's manual shows each refill step. Mascom International sells the cyan, magenta and yellow GI-41S bottles separately, so you top up only the tank that is running low.
