Canon MC-G01 Maintenance Cartridge-4628C001AA
The Canon MC-G01 Maintenance Cartridge (4628C001AA) is an original, user-replaceable component designed specifically for high-volume Canon MAXIFY GX series printers. It acts as a receptacle for waste ink generated during printhead cleaning cycles and normal startup routines.Â
According to your personal records, while you recently purchased a Canon Pixma G2430 on March 19, 2026, that specific model requires the MC-G02 maintenance cartridge, meaning the MC-G01 is not compatible with your current device.
Essential Functions and Purpose
-
- Ink Absorption: Safely absorbs residual ink and overspray during operations to prevent internal buildup and leakage.
- System Protection: Reduces the risk of ink-related errors and protects delicate internal hardware from waste ink overflow.
- High Performance: Includes an intelligent chip to ensure the printer recognizes the unit for accurate ink-level tracking and reliable performance
Technical Specifications
-
- Product Type: User-replaceable waste ink tank.Â
- Page Yield: While lifespan varies by usage and cleaning frequency, some estimates suggest a capacity equivalent to approximately 14,800 pages.Â
- Form Factor: High-capacity design with an ultra-absorbent sponge and robust structure intended to hold up to 20% more ink than standard variants in some compatible third-party designs.
Broad Device Compatibility
The MC-G01 is exclusively designed for select Canon MAXIFY MegaTank models:
-
