LONGER ePrint: A Dual-Head UV Printer That Also Does DTF Transfers

What Is the LONGER ePrint?

LONGER has entered the UV printer market with the ePrint, a dual-head machine that prints directly onto hard surfaces and also produces DTF transfers for apparel. It is not a fused-filament 3D printer, but it fits the broader maker and small-business toolbox that 3D printing owners often assemble.

The ePrint starts at $2,499 for the base UV kit. The DTF combo package adds the apparel transfer hardware and ink set, pushing the price higher. LONGER says shipping starts mid-September 2026.

Dual-Head System and Print Specs

The ePrint runs two printheads with 12 ink channels total: five fixed channels for CMYK plus varnish, and seven configurable slots. That layout lets you load white ink for faster full-coverage prints, or swap in specialty inks for textured 3D embossing up to 15 mm tall.

The resolution maxes out at 1440 DPI. LONGER claims print speeds up to 6 times faster than single-head UV setups, though real-world speed depends on layer height, coverage area, and whether you are running UV or DTF mode.

UV Direct Printing

UV direct printing on the ePrint covers acrylic, wood, leather, metal, glass, phone cases, packaging, and gifts. The open ink system accepts third-party cartridges, which lowers consumable cost over time. The matte and glossy output is sharp enough for product personalization and small-batch custom orders.

DTF Transfer Capability

The DTF side prints transfers onto PET film that you then heat-press onto fabric. That opens apparel customization without a screen-printing setup. The DTF kit includes hot melt powder, cleaning fluid, and a starter set of transfer sheets. For makers who already run a 3D printer and want to add clothing merch to their shop, this is the main selling point.

Who Should Buy It

The ePrint makes sense if you run a small custom-product business and want both hard-surface UV printing and DTF apparel transfers without buying two separate machines. The independent chamber and open ink system keep operating costs manageable once you are past the initial hardware outlay.

If you only need one function, a dedicated UV printer or a DTF-only machine will likely be cheaper. The ePrint's value is in the combo.

The Bottom Line

LONGER's ePrint is a practical all-in-one for makers and micro-businesses that want to expand beyond filament printing. The $2,499 entry price is reasonable for a dual-head UV system with DTF support, and the open ink system is a genuine cost advantage. Mid-September shipping is still a few weeks out, so hands-on durability data is not yet available. If you have been looking for one machine to cover both product personalization and apparel transfers, the ePrint deserves a look.
