Don't mix these up: M8041G/A is a black cartridge with the print head built in. On the Color StyleWriter 1500 it goes in the black position; the color cartridge for that printer is M4609G/A. It does not fit the Color StyleWriter 2200, 2400 or 2500.

Chips, Printer Messages & Installation
Installing: with the printer on, open the cover and wait for the carriage to stop. Release the empty cartridge and lift it out. Remove the protective tape from the new cartridge without touching the nozzles or contacts, seat it in the carrier and close the latch and cover.
No chip to reset: these StyleWriter printers do not read chips. If print is faint after a change, run a cleaning from the Apple printer utility.
Print head built in: the print head is part of this cartridge, so a new cartridge also renews the nozzles. If print stays streaky after two cleanings, the cartridge is the likely cause.
Still stuck? See our guide to fixing a cartridge that isn't recognized or contact us and we'll make it right.
Remanufactured vs. Compatible vs. Original
Original (OEM) cartridges are new from the printer brand and cost the most. Remanufactured cartridges, like this one, start as genuine original shells that are cleaned, refilled with high-quality ink and print-tested, so they fit and print like the original at a fraction of the price. Compatible cartridges are built new by a third party with their own chip. Castle Ink sells remanufactured inkjet cartridges and compatible (newly manufactured) toner.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pages does the Apple M8041G/A print?
About 500 pages, based on the rating for the original at roughly 5% coverage.
Is this the same as the Canon cartridge?
Yes. Apple M8041G/A is the same cartridge Canon sells as BC-02, so either number points to this part.
Will this void my printer warranty?
No. Under the U.S. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer can't void your printer warranty just because you used a third-party or remanufactured supply. If a non-original supply directly caused damage, that specific repair might not be covered.
How long can I store it?
Store it sealed, at room temperature and out of direct sunlight, and use it within about 24 months for best results. Once opened, install it promptly.
When will my order ship?
Orders placed by 4 PM ET, Monday through Friday, ship the same business day from Long Island, NY, by USPS (2–5 business days). Expedited 1–2 day delivery is available at checkout, and shipping is free on orders over $50.
