eufy - eufyMake UV Printer (Ink Sold Separately) - V8260J40 - Titanium

I have owned a lot of printers and craft equipment over the years, including vinyl cutters, embroidery machines, sublimation printers, 3D printers, and wide-format sign equipment. The EufyMake E1 UV Printer is one of the most impressive pieces of equipment I have ever purchased. The best way I can describe it is a “UV print shop in a box.” Setup was straightforward, and the software was easy to learn. Within days, I was printing custom refrigerator magnets, business cards, canvas prints, acrylic items, slate signs, and personalized gifts. The print quality is outstanding, with vibrant colors, sharp detail, and excellent registration. The ability to print white ink and create textured effects opens up a whole new world of creative possibilities. One thing that really surprised me is how economical it is to operate. Many of my projects use only a small amount of ink, making it practical for one-off gifts, prototypes, and small production runs. I have been able to create personalized keepsakes for family, friends, podcast guests, and local businesses at a quality level that would have been difficult or expensive to achieve with other equipment. I especially enjoy experimenting with different materials. So far I have successfully printed on magnets, PLA, canvas panels, slate, and other substrates, and the results continue to impress me. The machine encourages creativity because it makes it easy to try new ideas. What I like most is that the E1 is not limited to a single type of project. Whether you are a hobbyist, crafter, small business owner, maker, or content creator, this printer can produce professional-looking results on a wide variety of materials. If you enjoy creating custom products, gifts, signs, artwork, or promotional items, I highly recommend the EufyMake E1. It has exceeded my expectations and has quickly become one of my favorite tools in my workshop. Five stars without hesitation.

I was excited to get my Eufy printer. I decided to make sure I had a nice clear workspace to set it up. So I waited a week before opening up the box. I pulled everthing out but there was no ink or cleanding cartridge. There was however a "what's in the box" that shows that they are supposed to be included. I reached out to BestBuy customer service and was told that the inks are not included in the product listing. When I purchased it, it clearly stated that it included a starter set of inks. Bestbuy has since removed that from the listing, but others have also stated that it was supposed to include the starter set of inks. Bestbuy's customer service is totally worthless in trying come to a resolution. I have also contacted Eufy about this. Further proof that the inks were supposed to be included is in the question and answer section of the BestBuy listing where someone from the "Eufy Team" answers that the printer does include ink.

Ink does not come with the printer, even though it states that it includes a starter set. You must purchase an ink set separately or buy the bundle that includes ink. The software is also somewhat buggy and can consume excessive amounts of RAM if left open for extended periods. At one point, I woke up to find EufyMake Studio using nearly 80 GB of RAM and completely maxing out my computer. Overall, it's a good printer, but there are still some issues that need to be addressed before it becomes a 5-star product. Right now, I would rate it somewhere between 2.5 and 3 stars. That said, I believe it has the potential to become a 5-star product with software improvements and a better out-of-the-box experience. I enjoy using it, but for the price, I wish it included ink and that the software did not consume that much RAM when left unattended.

Do your research. This printer does print amazing quality! BUT there are more cons than pros. Pros: beautiful print quality, easy to use, desktop sizing, looks professional. CONS: the smell is horrible. You will need this printer near a window to vent fumes!! I had horrible headaches! Ink consumption is quite high. With the machines current settings , it goes into “cleaning modes” quite often. Thus flushing ink and wasting it. You will go through white and gloss faster than CMYK (colors). The white ink is used for texture building as well as base layers. If you run out of one color, the machine will NOT work until you replace it. If your maintenance cartridge becomes full, you will NOT be able to print until you change that as well. Plan on having a lot of extras on hand to keep your production moving. Software worked okay with my Mac. However, the software is slow and has bugs. Lots of room for improvement from Anker for sure. The printer does need to stay on 24/7 so it can run the cleaning cycles to keep your print head clean. I watched youtube videos before getting mine and found that all the “content creators “ don’t tell you the downsides. Just the good!

When ordering an item, the images and descriptions show you what you get! Highly recommend reading for a better experience. Love this machine!
