Compatible Maintenance Cartridge for Canon MC-G01 Get your Canon PIXMA GX-series back to printing with the PRM Compatible Maintenance Cartridge. This is a direct replacement for the original Canon MC-G01 — clearing the “Maintenance Cartridge Full” error and restoring normal printing immediately. Looking for a Canon GX6070 maintenance cartridge, Canon GX7070 maintenance cartridge, or Canon GX5070 maintenance cartridge? The MC-G01 is the correct maintenance cartridge for all Canon PIXMA GX-series business ink tank printers listed below. MC-G01 vs MC-G02 — Which One Do I Need? Canon uses different maintenance cartridges for different printer families. The MC-G01 fits the PIXMA GX-series business ink tank printers listed below. The MC-G02 fits the PIXMA G-series home ink tank printers (G1020, G2020, G3020 etc.). They are NOT interchangeable — check your printer model to confirm. What is a Maintenance Cartridge? The maintenance cartridge is a small absorbent pad that collects excess ink during printing, head cleaning, and borderless printing. Over time, this pad fills up with waste ink. When it's full, your printer displays a “Maintenance Cartridge Full” or “Absorber Full” error and stops printing completely — even if your ink tanks are full. This is not a malfunction. It's a routine consumable replacement, just like refilling ink. The maintenance cartridge is designed to be swapped out when full. Business-class GX printers consume maintenance cartridge capacity faster due to higher print volumes and more frequent automatic head cleaning cycles. When Do You Need a New Maintenance Cartridge? Replace your maintenance cartridge when you see: - “Maintenance Cartridge Full” or “Absorber Full” error on the printer display - Support code 1496 or 1497 on the printer screen - Printer stops printing completely and refuses all print jobs - Warning message that the maintenance cartridge is “nearly full” Don't wait for the cartridge to reach 100% — once the error appears, the printer will not print a single page until the maintenance cartridge is replaced. For busy offices, keeping a spare MC-G01 in stock avoids unexpected downtime. 1. Instant Fix — Clear the Error, Start Printing: Remove the full maintenance cartridge, insert the new one, and the error clears automatically. Your printer is ready to print immediately. The entire swap takes under 2 minutes. 2. Fits the Entire Canon PIXMA GX Business Range: The MC-G01 covers Canon's entire GX-series business ink tank lineup — from the compact GX3070 to the high-speed GX7070 with fax, ADF, and dual paper trays. One maintenance cartridge covers all of them. 3. Built for Business Ink Tank Printers: The PIXMA GX-series are Canon's business-grade ink tank printers — faster, more durable, and higher-capacity than the home G-series. The GX5070/GX6070/GX7070 are designed for offices that print thousands of pages per month. With that kind of volume, the maintenance cartridge fills up faster. Plan for regular replacement. 4. Supports Canon's MegaTank Business Range: The GX-series uses Canon's MegaTank ink system with high-capacity ink bottles. While the ink lasts for thousands of pages, the maintenance cartridge is the one consumable that still needs periodic replacement — and it's the part most offices forget about until the error appears. 5. Compatible Quality, Same Function: The maintenance cartridge is an absorbent pad in a plastic housing — there is no electronic component or print quality difference between original and compatible. It collects waste ink. A compatible cartridge does this identically to the original at a fraction of the price. 6. Easy Installation: Open the maintenance cartridge cover (usually at the rear or bottom of the printer), slide out the old cartridge, slide in the new one, and close. Under 2 minutes. No tools needed. Handle the old cartridge carefully — it's full of waste ink. 7. Tested Before Shipping: Every PRM maintenance cartridge is checked for proper fit before dispatch. Backed by our testing warranty.
