How to choose a home UV printer
Most home UV printers print about A3+ and cost $1,700 to $3,600, so the differences that matter are in what you plan to print and what the ink will cost you every month.
Start with what you'll print
Flat things such as keyrings, signs and phone cases work on any of them; the bed size decides how many fit in one run. Tumblers and mugs need a rotary attachment, and its diameter range matters: 40-100 mm on the E1, up to 101.6 mm on the O1 Omni and up to 100 mm on the HeyGears.
Tall objects like boxes, trophies and blocks need height under the head. The E1's camera works to 60 mm (130 mm with Zero-Point Alignment), the O1 Omni takes 150 mm and Morpho 168 mm. For T-shirts you need an edition with a fabric head: the xTool O1 Omni UV + DT Fabric (on sale), the Longer ePrint UV + DT (pre-order) or HeyGears' fabric version (crowdfunded).
| Printer | Max object height | Raised texture | Bed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Morpho Standard and Pro | 168 mm | 60 mm | 420 × 330 mm |
| xTool O1 Omni | 150 mm | 7 mm | 330 × 420 mm |
| OMTech Spectra A3+ | 140 mm | 5 mm | 350 × 450 mm |
| Procolored V11 Pro | 140 mm | Not stated | Not stated |
| eufyMake E1 | 130 mm | 5 mm | 330 × 420 mm |
| Epson SureColor V1070 | 70 mm | Not stated | 212 × 299 mm |
| Longer ePrint | Not stated | 15 mm | 310 × 420 mm |
| HeyGears G1 and G1X | Not stated | 5 mm | 420 × 330 mm |
Headline figures from each printer's page: the E1's height is with Zero-Point Alignment, Morpho's is in its enclosed chamber and its texture is the Pro model's claim (Morpho's FAQ says its software handles 5 mm for now), and Longer's 15 mm is Longer's own claim.
The ink system is the running cost
eufyMake and xTool from their US stores (28 Sep 2026); OMTech, HeyGears, Morpho and Epson from 3DPCC's comparison. Longer's ePrint has an open ink system with 200 ml cartridges and takes third-party ink, so its cost depends on what you buy.
How the ink comes matters as much as its price. The E1 takes chipped 100 ml cartridges, the O1 Omni 125 ml bottles, the HeyGears its own bottles, Morpho refillable cartridges, the OMTech an open system sold in 3-liter sets, and the Epson only genuine 140 ml packs. Cleaning and priming use ink too, even on days you don't print. The running-cost calculator puts it all together.
White, varnish and special inks
White is essential for dark and clear objects, and varnish adds gloss and protection. Flexible white (xTool Dual-Head) suits leather and anything that bends, fluorescent inks are rarer (xTool Dual-Head again), and light cyan and light magenta (HeyGears G1X) smooth out skin tones and gradients.
Air and space
Check the built-in filtration (xTool: HEPA and carbon; E1: a filter plus an optional exhaust kit or purifier) and where the machine will live. Weights run from 20 kg for the E1 to about 41 kg for the O1 Omni, 45 kg for the HeyGears and 69 kg for the OMTech. The safety guide covers ventilation.
Software and computer
The home brands use their own apps: eufyMake Studio, xTool Studio, Longer Studio, HeyGears Blueprint Studio and Morpho Studio. Procolored's RIP runs on Windows only, and the OMTech connects by Ethernet.
Warranty and parts
Print heads are the costly part and often have shorter cover. eufyMake gives 3 months on the E1's head (a replacement is listed at $599), and HeyGears 180 days on the G1's.
Backing a crowdfunded printer
Only some of these ship from stock. HeyGears and Morpho are crowdfunded and Longer is still a pre-order, so you pay now for a machine that ships later. Kickstarter says itself that rewards aren't guaranteed, and a pledge is not the same as buying from a shop. What to check, using the two live campaigns as examples:
- Delivery dates are targets. Morpho expects to start shipping between December 2026 and January 2027 (May 2027 for late pledges), and HeyGears is aiming for December 2026. Longer's Kickstarter ran in December 2025, and its own store now estimates shipping from October 2026.
- Prices go up when the campaign ends. Morpho's Early Bird tiers ($1,799 and $2,999) sold out, the Kickstarter specials were $1,999 and $3,299, late pledges cost $2,159 and $3,999 since it closed on 14 October 2026, and Morpho plans $2,699 and $4,999 at retail. HeyGears plans $2,699 to $5,499.
- A headline number can be a target. Morpho's 60 mm texture is the Pro's claim, and its FAQ says the software currently supports up to 5 mm.
- Warranty and print heads. Morpho gives 90 days on the Standard's head and 180 on the Pro's; HeyGears gives 180 days on the G1X's.
- Your place in the queue. Morpho ships in backer-number order, so a late pledge means a later machine.
Campaign details read from Kickstarter and each maker's site on 11 October 2026, Morpho's late-pledge prices on 14 October 2026. Bambu Lab's UV printer has no date yet. Each printer's status is in the comparison table.
