Compatible Maintenance Cartridge for Canon MC-G06

Get your Canon PIXMA back to printing with the PRM Compatible Maintenance Cartridge. This is a direct replacement for the original Canon MC-G06 — clearing the "Maintenance Cartridge Full" error and restoring normal printing immediately.

Looking for a Canon TS7720 maintenance cartridge, Canon TS7770 maintenance cartridge, or Canon TR7820 maintenance cartridge? The MC-G06 is the correct maintenance cartridge for all Canon PIXMA TS and TR series printers listed below.

MC-G06 vs MC-G02 / MC-G04 — Which One Do I Need?
Canon uses different maintenance cartridges for different printer families. The MC-G06 fits the PIXMA TS and TR series cartridge-based printers listed below. The MC-G02 fits G-series ink tank printers (G1020, G2020, G3020 etc.) and the MC-G04 fits the newest G-series generation (G1730, G2730, G3770 etc.). They are NOT interchangeable — check your printer model below 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 photo 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 cartridges are full.

This is not a malfunction. It's a routine consumable replacement, just like replacing ink cartridges. The maintenance cartridge is designed to be swapped out when full. Photo-focused printers like the TS and TR series consume maintenance cartridge capacity faster due to frequent borderless photo printing and 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. If you see a "nearly full" warning, order a replacement now so you have it ready.

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 Canon's Premium PIXMA TS and TR Range: The MC-G06 covers Canon's premium home and small office printers — the PIXMA TS series (photo-focused all-in-ones) and TR series (home office MFPs with fax and ADF). One maintenance cartridge works across all models.

3. Built for Photo Printing: The PIXMA TS7720, TS7750i, TS7770, and TS7780 are Canon's premium photo printers with 6-ink systems, borderless printing, and dedicated photo paper trays. Borderless photo printing sends excess ink to the maintenance cartridge with every print — if you print photos regularly, the cartridge fills up faster than with document printing alone.

4. Covers Home Office MFPs (TR Series): The TR7820 and TR7720 are Canon's home office multifunction printers with print, scan, copy, fax, and ADF. The same MC-G06 fits these models too — no need for a separate maintenance cartridge.

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, 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.
