LONGER's new ePrint uses a dual-head UV system to print flat graphics and embossed textures up to 15 mm tall on almost any surface. Preorders start at $1,699.
A UV printer that adds actual depth
LONGER has started global preorders for the ePrint, a desktop UV printer that does something most flatbed printers cannot: it prints raised textures up to 15 mm tall. The machine uses two printheads in a single compact frame, which LONGER says makes it the world's first dual-head personal UV printer.
How the True 3D Texture mode works
Standard UV printers lay down ink in a flat layer. The ePrint's dual-head architecture can stack UV-cured ink to build relief. The result is a design you can feel, not just see. LONGER claims relief heights of up to 15 mm, which is enough to turn a logo into a tactile badge or a coaster into a raised-pattern piece.
Beyond 3D textures, the ePrint handles flatbed printing up to 310 by 420 mm, rotary mode for cylinders and bottles, transfer film printing for apparel, and conveyor belt mode for production runs. The printheads carry 12 ink channels and run at 1440 DPI.
Pricing and availability
Preorders run through September 10, 2026. The single-head ePrint SE costs $1,699 at preorder, down from a $2,499 MSRP. The dual-head ePrint costs $2,499 at preorder, down from a $3,299 MSRP. Use code 'ePrint5' for an extra 5 percent off during the campaign.
Both models ship with starter ink sets. LONGER also offers business kits that add tumblers, sticker materials, or apparel transfer supplies. The machine works with third-party UV inks through its open ink system, so you are not locked into LONGER's consumables.
Who is this for
The ePrint sits in an awkward middle price range. It is far cheaper than industrial UV flatbeds, but it is still a $1,700 to $2,500 machine. The buyers who will justify that cost are small merchandising operations, toy designers, and studios that need to print on non-flat surfaces. If you only need to lay down a logo on a T-shirt, a standard DTG printer is still the simpler answer. If you need to print that same logo on a mug, a phone case, and an acrylic sign in-house, the ePrint starts to make sense.
The 15 mm relief height is the feature that separates this from every other desktop UV printer on the market. It opens up miniature terrain, tactile signage, and custom packaging in ways that were previously impossible without outsourcing to a service bureau.
