Frequently Asked Questions

Which Canon printers are compatible with Starink GI-21 ink refill bottles?

Starink GI-21 ink bottles are compatible with Canon PIXMA G1220, G1230, G2260, G2270, G3260, G3270, G3290, G4270, and G4280. Confirm that your printer uses the GI-21 ink system before ordering.

How much ink is in each Starink GI-21 bottle?

The Starink GI-21 Black bottle contains 170ml, and each Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow bottle contains 70ml. These are Starink bottle volumes, not printer tank capacities.

Do these ink bottles include chips or smart chips?

No. GI-21 is a direct-fill MegaTank ink bottle system rather than a cartridge system. Cartridge chips and chip transfer are not applicable.

What type of ink is in Starink GI-21 bottles?

Starink GI-21 Black uses pigment-based ink for document text. Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow use dye-based ink for graphics, photos, and other color printing.

Can individual GI-21 colors be refilled separately?

Yes. Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow have separate tanks. Refill the color that needs ink with the matching bottle, and stop at the tank's maximum fill line.

Is GI-21 the same as GI-20 or GI-16?

No. Canon GI-21, GI-20, and GI-16 are different ink bottle families and are not interchangeable. Use only the ink family specified for your exact printer.

How do I refill without overfilling the tank?

Monitor the ink level while refilling and stop at the printer's maximum fill line. Follow the refill method specified for your printer and bottle; do not squeeze or force ink into the tank to empty the bottle.

Does the entire 170ml Black bottle need to be emptied into the printer?

No. Bottle volume and printer tank capacity are not always the same. Stop at the Black tank's maximum fill line, even if ink remains in the bottle, and securely reseal the remaining ink for later use.

What is included in the Starink GI-21 4-Pack?

The 4-Pack includes one 170ml Black bottle and one 70ml bottle each of Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow, plus a User Guide.

What should I do if a Starink GI-21 bottle leaks during transit?

Contact Starink through the Contact Us page with your order details and photos of the bottle and packaging. The support team can help resolve the issue.
