Canon MC-G02 Maintenance Cartridge, Compatible to Canon PIXMA G1220, G2260, G620 & G3260 Printers

Works very well at sopping up ink overflows from print head cleanings.

I had to run several print head cleaning cycles when the printer stopped printing black. I got a caution message that this process uses a lot of ink, but I never considered where all that ink goes. I found out when a warning light came on and the printer would not print. Fortunately this maintenance cartridge was all I needed.Installation was easy. Removing one screw allows you to remove a cover plate and pull the old cartridge out. Inserting the new cartridge and replacing the cover plate and screw completes the process. The new cartridge even includes a plastic bag - slip the old cartridge in the bag, seal it up, and it's ready for disposal. The old cartridge will be full of all that ink I mentioned, so I slipped a plastic bag (the one that the new cartridge was delivered in) under the printer before I started, to protect the desk, and I was careful not to tilt the cartridge as I was handling it. Once I was done, the printer functioned again. The head cleaning worked.

The item worked as promised. My printer was not printing all 4 colors properly. I went through all the steps to clean the print heads as prompted by the unit. The error code indicated a new maintenance cartridge was needed. I installed it as instructed and it immediately fixed the problem.

Very fast service. Item worked properly. Thgank you

good

Bought this for a CANON G2260, it works with no issues...

No fakes here! Real Canon part for cheap. can't find these locally. Thanks!

When my printer stopped working, I disassembled the old cartridge and thoroughly cleaned it, hoping the computer would think it was a new cartridge, while I was waiting for the new one to arrive. Did not fool the computer; you need to order ahead of time !
