Key Features of the LONGER ePrint Series

Dual Printheads & 12-Channel Ink System (ePrint Model)

The ePrint model features a professional dual-printhead structure designed for higher production efficiency. Key advantages include:

• 5-color base system (CMYK + varnish)
• Additional 7 channels for white ink, spot colors, and special effects
• Up to 6× faster production compared with single-head desktop UV printers
• Improved texture stacking for tactile 3D surfaces
• Flexible multi-color and multi-material printing workflows

Intelligent Automated Printhead Maintenance

• Fully automated cleaning sequence with white-ink circulation
• Prevents clogging and stabilizes ink flow over long production cycles
• Enables a near-zero-maintenance workflow

This helps create a more reliable and low-maintenance printing experience.

True 3D UV Texture Printing

The ePrint series uses an advanced layer-stacking system to create realistic surface textures. It can produce:

• Visible surface depth
• Shadow effects
• Tactile raised textures

The 200 ml × 12 cartridge system supports consistent output for high-volume printing.

Open-Ink Compatibility

• Supports a wide range of third-party UV inks
• LONGER original ink available for color precision and high reliability
• Optional low-migration ink support for food-compliant packaging workflows

Industry-Leading 10 mm High-Gap Printing

The ePrint series supports printing on materials with 2–10 mm height variation. The system maintains accurate ink placement and helps reduce issues such as:

• Ghosting
• Banding
• Overspray

This makes it suitable for curved, cylindrical, embossed, textured, and irregular surfaces.

1440 DPI Ultra-High Resolution

• Crisp micro-details with enhanced tonal range
• UV-cured layers designed for commercial-grade durability
• The built-in print trace system ensures consistent, repeatable output

Compatibility with 300+ Materials

The ePrint series supports direct printing on more than 300 substrates, including:
Wood, acrylic, metal, leather, glass, stone, plastics, ceramics, canvas, films, textiles, and uniquely shaped objects. Perfect for small-batch production, personalization, art creation, premium packaging, and merchandising.

AI-Powered Workflow Engine

The ePrint's built-in AI suite is designed to streamline creation from concept to final output:

1. AI-generated images and style variations
2. Automatic background removal
3. Text-to-logo generation
4. Sketch-to-illustration enhancement
5. One-click product mockups
6. Dual-laser alignment for precise positioning
7. AI auto-focus
8. Real-time preview with intelligent correction suggestions
9. Batch sync and auto-fill for mass duplication

• Laminator – Applies scratch-resistant and waterproof finishes; also supports transfer sticker production
• Roll-to-Roll Module – For films, leather, and flexible materials
• Conveyor Belt System—AI-powered batch detection and continuous printing for extended objects like skateboards, signage boards, and long decorative pieces

Pricing & Shipping

The ePrint Kickstarter pricing is as follows:

• ePrint SE – $1,499
• ePrint – $1,899
• ePrint All-in-1 Combo – $2,949

Backer shipments are scheduled to begin in June 2026.

A New Benchmark for Desktop UV-Texture Printing

With its combination of dual-head printing speed, 12-channel color capability, open-ink flexibility, and true 3D texture printing, the LONGER ePrint series brings professional UV printing capabilities to a more accessible desktop format.
