Canon GI-46 M Original

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

Canon’s GI-46 (original) is the kind of ink you buy when you want predictable results and minimal messing around. For that £17.96 ex-VAT, it’s not a “cheap-and-cheerful” option, but it is usually good value for offices where print quality consistency matters and you don’t want clogged heads, color shifts, or the admin headache that comes with questionable compatibility. If your machine is a Canon model that specifically uses GI-46, this is a sensible spend—especially for teams printing routine documents, forms, and anything where you’d rather trust the output than gamble on third-party.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this at face value if you’re printing heavily or mostly draft/lower-priority documents. In those cases, the per-page cost can bite compared with compatible cartridges from less premium brands, and the “original” advantage matters less. If you’re seeing lots of ink use, it’s worth comparing the effective cost per page (not just the cartridge price) and checking whether your printer’s yield is close to what you actually get in your environment.
