UV printing used to mean a five-figure flatbed, a service contract, and a machine that owned a corner of the print shop. Desktop hardware ended that. The printers in this guide lay down full color, white ink, and varnish directly on wood, acrylic, glass, metal, and fabric, and they sit on a workbench.
Three of the five are on sale today, and each one fits a different buyer.
The other two are crowdfunding machines that haven’t shipped yet. Every price and spec below comes off the maker’s own page, checked this week.

xTool O1 Omni: best overall
Four printers’ worth of work runs through this one box. The O1 Omni prints UV on rigid goods, makes UV DTF decals for curved and irregular pieces, and, in its UV + DT Fabric Edition, handles direct-to-garment and DTF transfers for apparel. We covered the launch pitch back in June; the machine has since gone on sale, and the edition lineup is where your money actually goes.
Editions are factory-configured, and there’s no upgrade path between them.
The Single UV machine runs one Epson F1080 head. Dual-Head UV adds fluorescent inks and flexible white. The fabric edition swaps that second head to textile duty, so it gives up the fluorescent effects.
Pixel-Scan does the alignment work. Laser sensing and CIS imaging capture the object at true 1:1 scale, so a design placed at the bed’s edge lands where you put it. The large bed covers 13 by 16.5 inches, objects run up to 150mm tall, and raised texture tops out at 7mm.
It isn’t light, either. At 90.7 pounds, the O1 stays where you set it down.
xTool O1 Omni Printer (Single UV Edition)
13 × 16.5-inch large bed, objects to 150mm · Pixel-Scan 1:1 alignment · UV and UV DTF, with dual-head and fabric editions above it
Price: $2,499 $2,249 at xTool (Black Friday sale)

eufyMake E1: best first UV printer
Anker’s eufyMake brand aimed the E1 at people who’ve never run a UV printer, and the response was absurd. Its Kickstarter raised $46.8 million from 17,822 backers in 2025, the largest campaign in the platform’s history.
The machine shipped, it’s in stock at the maker’s store today, and it doesn’t ask for a crowdfunding leap of faith.
We reviewed the E1 hands-on and the texture work is the draw. Amass3D stacks white ink into relief up to 5mm high, then lays color over the top, so a phone case or a coaster carries a design you can feel. The bed prints 330 by 420mm, objects go to 100mm tall, and eufyMake rates it for more than 300 materials.
Running costs need a look before you buy. The ink ships in sealed cartridges with encryption chips, third-party ink voids the warranty, and there’s no refill route. Budget for eufyMake’s cartridges from day one.
eufyMake E1 UV Printer (Basic Bundle)
330 × 420mm print area, objects to 100mm · 3D texture up to 5mm · Rated for 300+ materials
Price: $2,409 $1,999 at eufyMake (Black Friday pricing)
Where to buy: Buy at eufyMake
Procolored V4: best for phone cases and small goods
Procolored sells this machine as the UV R330 A5, and the A5 tells you the story. The print area is 120 by 170mm, the smallest in this guide by a wide margin. For phone cases, golf balls, badges, card stock, and small signage, that footprint is a feature. It prints the work in front of it and nothing bigger.
Objects run up to 15mm thick, so this is a flat-goods machine.
Bottled ink feeds it: the box includes 250ml each of CMYK and white on a continuous supply, which undercuts cartridge pricing over time. An Epson L800 head prints at 1440 by 1440 dpi.
Maintenance is mostly hands-off. The head cleans itself every 10 hours and sips about a milliliter of ink a day doing it. At 20kg, it’s also the only machine here one person moves without planning the lift.
Procolored V4 UV Printer (UV R330 A5)
120 × 170mm print area, objects to 15mm · Epson L800 head, 1440 × 1440 dpi · Auto-clean cycle every 10 hours
Price: $2,299 at Procolored

Coming soon: the crowdfunding pair
Neither machine below sits on a shelf today. Both ran large Kickstarter campaigns, both promise hardware the shipping machines don’t offer, and both carry the usual pledge risk. If your business needs a printer this month, scroll back up.
Morpho UV Printer
Morpho flips the standard layout. The bed stays still and the gantry moves over it, which buys a bigger enclosed print area: 330 by 220mm, with objects up to 168mm tall inside. An optional A3 bed stretches the field to 420 by 330mm. Stereo Vision cameras handle alignment, the ink system is refillable, and the design skips cleaning and moisturizing cartridges entirely.
The campaign closed on October 14 with more than $10 million from nearly 3,000 backers, and late pledges remain open.
The Pro runs an Epson i3200 head at 2400 dpi and stacks texture to a wild 60mm. The Standard’s F1080 prints at 1440 dpi with 5mm of texture. First shipments were estimated for December into January, and Morpho’s latest update put the production ramp under review.
Morpho UV Printer (Standard)
Enclosed 330 × 220mm bed, objects to 168mm · Moving gantry, stationary bed · Refillable ink, no cleaning cartridges
Price: $2,159 late pledge (MSRP $2,699)
Where to buy: More details at Morpho
HeyGears G1X
The G1X leads with color. Its Epson i3200-U1HD head carries 3,200 nozzles across eight channels, and the wide-gamut ink set adds light cyan and light magenta for smoother gradients. DTG and true DTF printing are built in, so apparel work doesn’t need a second machine. The flatbed covers 420 by 330mm.
The upgrade path sets it apart.
Add the Resin Station and Relay Fluid Hub and the G1X prints full-color 3D, not just textured surfaces. The Full-3D Pack bundles that hardware. The campaign is live now, with the Starter Pack at early-bird pricing.
HeyGears G1X (Starter Pack)
Epson i3200-U1HD head, 3,200 nozzles · DTG and true DTF built in · Expands to full-color 3D
Price: $3,299 early bird on Kickstarter (MSRP $4,999)

Which one should you buy?
If you print to sell and want one machine under the most kinds of work, buy the O1 Omni, and pick the edition against the work you’ll do in year two, not month one. If it’s your first UV printer, the E1’s software hand-holding and shipping status make it the safe start.
Small goods specialists should save the money and take the Procolored.
Morpho is the watch for anyone who wants an enclosed bed and refillable ink without a service contract, and the G1X is the color machine, with a 3D upgrade waiting when you’re ready.
