LONGER's $1,499 Dual-head UV Printer Prints iPhone Cases, Braille, and Custom Merch in 6x Speed - Yanko Design
"Last year, a consumer-focused UV printer made a remarkable splash on Kickstarter, marking the first time consumer UV printing made it to the big leagues. Now, LONGER ePrint enters the market, bringing unique innovation, a user-friendly experience, and highly competitive pricing to DIY enthusiasts, startups, and designers alike. Built for creative expression and customizable solutions. The campaign has already achieved an impressive $3.6 million in sales within its first week."
"The ePrint's headline feature is its dual-printhead design with 12 ink channels, which the company says delivers print speeds up to six times faster than single-head printers when laying down textured white ink layers. Add automated cleaning systems, white ink circulation to prevent clogging, and compatibility with third-party inks, and LONGER has assembled a feature set aimed squarely at cost-conscious small businesses."
LONGER ePrint targets DIY enthusiasts, startups, designers, and small custom merch operations with a consumer-focused UV printer. The system uses two printheads and 12 ink channels—CMYK, six white channels, and two varnish channels—to enable textured prints up to 60mm and faster flat printing. Six white channels lay down textured white layers much faster than single-channel systems, while dual heads cut flat-printing time by 50–70 percent at 1440 DPI. The design includes automated cleaning, white ink circulation to prevent clogging, and compatibility with third-party inks. Early sales and launch pricing indicate strong market demand.
