GoPrinter™ 12.7mm Ink Cartridge Range – From Bold Colours to Invisible
From bold black to vivid colours—and now even invisible UV-reactive ink—the GoPrinter™ 12.7mm ink cartridge lineup has an option for every surface and purpose. Choose from fast-absorb inks for porous materials like cardboard, or instant-dry scratch-resistant inks for smoother, glossy surfaces.
Need security or covert marking? The new Invisible UV Ink glows only under ultraviolet light, making it perfect for authentication and hidden tracking. Whatever your printing challenge, there’s a GoPrinter™ ink designed to meet it.
What this page is
buythis.co.za/goprinter-127-ink is a short Buythis announcement of the ink cartridge range for the GoPrinter 12.7 mm (half-inch) handheld inkjet printer. This knowledge base page lists every cartridge in that range with its SKU and current price, explains which ink suits which surface, and links to the deeper product and how-to pages.
Prices below are current Buythis prices including VAT from the product dump dated 2026-10-21. Some prices come from older dump entries (2026-10-18); confirm those on the product page.
The 12.7 mm cartridges
Every cartridge in this range is an EPIC (Embedded Printhead Ink Cartridge): the printhead is built into the cartridge, so changing colour or replacing an empty cartridge also gives you a fresh printhead and there is no refilling. Each holds 42 ml of instant-dry, scratch-resistant pigment ink and prints up to 12.7 mm (half an inch) high. The cartridges are rated 9 V, 1.8 μs.

Which surfaces the ink suits
The current cartridges are all the instant-dry (adsorption) type. The ink sits on and bonds to smooth, non-absorbent surfaces such as metal, plastic, PVC, glass, ceramics and cans, and dries without extra drying time, which is why it resists scratching and smudging straight after printing.
The original announcement above also mentions fast-absorb inks for porous materials such as cardboard. Those are not in the current Buythis product dump, so ask AM.CO.ZA sales which ink to use if your main surface is cardboard, paper or untreated wood.
White and yellow are the colours to choose for dark, coloured or transparent material. The invisible UV ink leaves no visible mark and shows only under a UV (black) light, so it is used for anti-counterfeit and authentication marks, hidden serial numbers, asset identification and event access control.
12.7 mm or 25.4 mm
These cartridges fit only the 12.7 mm GoPrinter. The 25.4 mm (one-inch) GoPrinter uses its own larger GO-INK2 cartridges, and the two are not interchangeable. The printers share the same firmware and menus. See Compare GoPrinter One-Inch (25.4mm) and Half-Inch (12.7mm) EPIC Ink Cartridges and the 25.4 mm ink range.
Cartridge care
- Take the blue gel cap off the nozzle before printing.
- Put the cap back on after printing and store the cartridge capped so the nozzle does not dry out or clog.
- When installing, push the cartridge in until it clicks onto the contact pins, then lock the arm or clamp. The cartridge should sit flush with the printer body.
