The Canon GI-46Y Yellow Ink Bottle is a 135ml yellow ink refill designed for selected refillable ink tank printers. With its high stated page yield and pigment-based ink, it is particularly suited to printing environments where documents are produced regularly and maintaining an adequate supply of yellow ink is important.

Canon identifies the product as the GI-46Y Yellow Ink Bottle, with the manufacturer item number 4429C001. Your Computer Shack SKU for this product is 4429C001AA. The Canon product is supplied as a 135ml bottle of yellow pigment ink and is specified for selected refillable ink tank printers.

For businesses, SMEs, professional users and home offices, ink availability can be an important part of keeping everyday printing running smoothly. The GI-46Y provides a dedicated yellow refill rather than a multi-colour cartridge, allowing users to replenish the required yellow ink when needed.

One of the key specifications is its stated yield of up to 14,881 pages from a full bottle. This is based on Canon’s stated product information and provides an indication of the volume of printing the bottle is designed to support. Actual page yields can vary depending on what is being printed and other printing conditions, so the figure should be viewed as Canon’s stated maximum yield rather than a guaranteed number of pages for every user.

The use of pigment ink is another important feature. Canon describes the ink as providing durable, sharp and vibrant documents. Once documents have dried fully, Canon states that the ink does not blur when used with a marker and provides friction and water resistance. This makes the ink particularly relevant for users who regularly produce business documents where clear, durable printed text is important.

Key Features & Business-Class Highlights

135ml yellow ink bottle: The GI-46Y contains 135ml of yellow ink, providing a substantial refill volume for compatible refillable ink tank printers.

Up to 14,881-page yield: Canon specifies a yield of up to 14,881 pages from a full bottle. This makes the GI-46Y particularly relevant for users with regular or higher-volume printing requirements.

Pigment ink: The GI-46Y uses pigment ink, with Canon highlighting durable, sharp and vibrant document printing. Canon also states that, once fully dried, the ink provides resistance to friction and water and does not blur when used with a marker.

Designed for selected refillable ink tank printers: The GI-46Y is intended for selected refillable ink tank printers. Compatibility should be checked against the printer model before purchasing, as the supplied Canon source does not state that the bottle is compatible with every Canon refillable ink tank printer.

No-squeeze bottle design: Canon specifies an improved no-squeeze bottle design, intended to make the refilling process easier and help reduce accidental spills.

Key-type nozzle: The bottle incorporates key-type nozzles, which Canon says help prevent accidentally refilling an ink tank with the wrong bottle. This provides an additional practical feature when working with separate colour ink bottles.

For businesses and professional printing environments, these features make the GI-46Y a practical consumable to keep available alongside the compatible printer. The high stated yield can also be useful for organisations managing regular printing requirements, while the dedicated yellow colour makes it easy to identify the specific refill required.
