The 25.4 mm (GO-INK2) 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 44 ml of instant-dry, scratch-resistant pigment ink and prints up to 25.4 mm (one 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 current Buythis product dump lists only these dry (adsorption) GO-INK2 cartridges, 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.
25.4 mm or 12.7 mm
These GO-INK2 cartridges fit only the 25.4 mm GoPrinter. The 12.7 mm (half-inch) GoPrinter uses its own smaller GO-INK 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 12.7 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.
