Canon Ink Bottle GI-43Y Red

The Canon GI-43R Red Ink Bottle (often erroneously listed as GI-43Y Red) is a specialized 60 ml dye-based ink refill engineered for high-yield, professional-quality photo printing. It is a critical component of Canon’s ChromaLife100 system, which provides vibrant color accuracy and allows prints to resist fading for up to 100 years when stored under proper archival conditions.
Professional Performance and High Yield
The GI-43R is designed for environments with massive photographic output, offering an ultra-low cost per print. 
    • Exceptional Photo Yield: A full set of GI-43 series ink refill bottles can produce approximately 3,800 color photos (4 x 6 inch size). 
    • Vibrant Color Fidelity: This specialized red ink enhances color gamut and saturation, delivering smooth gradients and rich tonal depth in detailed graphics and high-definition photography. 
    • Archival Durability: The ChromaLife100 formulation is fast-drying and smudge-resistant, ensuring long-lasting clarity for business materials and personal memories.

Hardware Compatibility and Maintenance
This genuine ink bottle is specifically engineered for use with Canon’s 6-color MegaTank photo printers: 
    • Supported Models: PIXMA G540 and PIXMA G640.
    • Error-Free Refilling: Features an improved, no-squeeze, spill-resistant design with a color-coded mechanical ID (key-type nozzle) that ensures the ink can only be filled into the correct corresponding red tank. 


Personal Compatibility Alert
Your records indicate you purchased a Canon PIXMA G2430 on March 19, 2026. It is important to note that the GI-43 series is not compatible with your PIXMA G2430. 
  • Your Device Requirements: The PIXMA G2430 is a 4-color printer that utilizes the Canon GI-41 series ink bottles (Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow).
  • Why it won’t fit: Canon ink cartridges are not one-size-fits-all; the GI-43 series uses different physical “keys” and firmware that will not work with a GI-41 printer
