LONGER ePrint Review: A $1,699 UV Printer That Also Does Textures

The Pitch

LONGER has opened global pre-orders for the ePrint, a desktop UV printer that bundles four printing modes into one chassis: UV flat printing, UV DTF transfers, DTG garment printing, and DTF film printing. It also adds what LONGER calls True 3D Textured UV Printing, producing relief embossments up to 15 mm tall. The single-head SE edition starts at $1,699 pre-order ($2,499 MSRP), and the dual-head edition costs $2,499 pre-order ($3,299 MSRP).

The question is whether a single machine at that price can genuinely replace multiple dedicated devices in a small shop or makerspace.

What It Actually Does

The ePrint uses a 12-ink-channel dual-head architecture on the flagship model. That is twice the ink channels of typical single-head desktop UV printers. Resolution tops out at 1440 DPI with G7-calibrated color, which matters if you are producing branded merchandise for paying customers rather than just printing test swatches.

The four modes cover a surprisingly wide range of substrates. UV mode handles rigid materials like phone cases, acrylic, metal plates, and wood. UV DTF transfers work for ceramics, glass, and metal items that cannot run through a conventional printer. DTG prints directly onto cotton and blended textiles. DTF produces transfer films for heat-press application on almost anything. The 3D texture mode adds relief embossing up to 15 mm using stacked UV-cured ink layers, which is unusual at this price point.

LONGER also lists a growing library of effects: gloss varnish, hot foil decoration, lenticular patterns, and custom textures. That breadth is the main selling point, not peak performance in any single mode.

Who This Is For

The ePrint is aimed at three overlapping groups: creative studios doing custom packaging or wall art, customization businesses selling personalized gifts and branded merch, and makers exploring small-batch production. If you already own separate DTG and UV printers, the ePrint consolidates them into one footprint at a lower combined cost.

The 15 mm emboss capability is the feature that stands out. Most desktop UV printers cap out at flat color graphics. The ability to add actual dimension without outsourcing to a specialty shop changes the economics for certain product categories, particularly luxury packaging and decorative signage.

Pre-Order Details and Caveats

Pre-orders run from August 4 through September 10, 2026. Discount code ePrint5 takes an extra 5% off during that window. Regional availability, accessory bundles, and shipping timelines are still being finalized through LONGER's official channels.

The obvious caveat is that UV printing equipment involves a real commitment. UV inks require handling precautions, curing takes time, and the learning curve is steeper than filament 3D printing. If your use case is one specific mode, you may get better performance from a dedicated machine. But if you need versatility across substrates and applications, the ePrint is worth watching closely.
