PIXMA G6020 - maintenance cartridge

[ethylmax]

I am unable to find the part number to order a maintenance cartridge for the Pixma G6020. I am searching on both the Canon website and Amazon, but I am not finding a maintenance cartridge that shows it is for the G6020. Can anyone help me here, or even post a photo of what it looks like? I need to do an ink flush and figure I will need to replace the maintenance cartridge soon after.

Thank you for your help

Hi ethylmax,

The PIXMA G6020 does not have maintenance cartridge that is user replaceable.

Hi, Patrick

I found this in the manual and also a video (finally). They both said the maintenance cartridge MC-G02 is what to replace. But, you are saying that I'm not able to replace it? What happens if I have to do ink flushes? Where does the ink go without causing further problems?

Thank you!

Hi ethylmax,

The MC-G02 is compatible with the PIXMA G620, G1220, PIXMA G2260 and PIXMA G3260/G3262:

I lost my cyan, then got it back but then lost the magenta. Did numerous cleanings and deep cleanings and alignments. Ink flush was the last thing I could think of to do, and that did fix it. When I did this on a large format Canon, we had to replace the maintenance cartridges. I don't understand where this ink went during the flush where it won't be a problem if I have to do another in the future. Is this something that has to be replaced by Canon only?

Thanks
