eufyMake Cuts E1 Ink Prices by 30%, With a High-Capacity Ink System to Follow
The E1's ink got about 30% cheaper on July 13, 2026, across every cartridge, kit, and subscription, in the US and EU alike. eufyMake paired the cut with a longer shelf life, a promise of twice the print speed in Q3, and a first look at the high-capacity ink system due later this year.

eufyMake cut its E1 ink prices by about 30% on July 13, 2026. A 100 ml cartridge drops from $42.99 to $29.99, every cartridge type included, and the euro prices match digit for digit. Subscriptions go as low as $19.99 per cartridge. The same announcement stretches cartridge shelf life from 12 to 15 months, schedules a free Q3 software update that roughly doubles print speed, and previews a high-capacity ink system arriving later this year. For the machine whose loudest criticism has always been its ink price, it's the most consequential announcement since launch.
Ink prices: about 30% off everything
| Item | Old price | New price (US) | New price (EU) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 ml UV ink cartridge (each of the 7 types) | $42.99 | $29.99 | 29.99 EUR |
| Ink & Cleaning Kit (600 ml ink + 380 ml cleaning) | $299.99 | $209.99 | 209.99 EUR |
| Cleaning cartridge (380 ml) | $42.99 | $29.99 | 29.99 EUR |
US and EU official store prices, July 13, 2026. The cut covers all seven cartridge types: CMYK, white, flexible white, and varnish. The cleaning cartridge's new price is from eufyMake's announcement; its own store page currently redirects to the ink listing.
The new cartridge price works out to about $300 per liter, where E1 ink sat near $430 since launch. It's still proprietary ink, and the E1 still refuses third-party cartridges; what changed is the bill.
The cut applies identically on both sides of the Atlantic, which is rarer than it should be. Most of this year's UV printer launches price in USD and let EU buyers work out VAT and import costs themselves; the E1's euro sticker is the price you pay. eufyMake's EU store also carries a price guarantee: if you bought at the old prices on or after June 1, 2026, you can claim the difference back.
Subscriptions start at $19.99 a cartridge
| Product | One-time | Every 4 weeks | Every 8 weeks | Every 12 weeks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 ml cartridge (US) | $29.99 | $19.99 | $21.89 | $23.99 |
| 100 ml cartridge (EU) | 29.99 EUR | 19.99 EUR | 21.99 EUR | 23.99 EUR |
| Ink & Cleaning Kit (US) | $209.99 | $139.98 | $153.29 | $167.99 |
| Ink & Cleaning Kit (EU) | 209.99 EUR | 139.98 EUR | 153.99 EUR | 167.99 EUR |
Prices from the official US and EU stores' subscription plans, July 13, 2026. Shorter cycles get bigger discounts: 33%, 27%, and 20% off the new one-time prices. Cancellation opens after two completed deliveries.
The subscription discounts are calculated on the new prices, so the two cuts stack. A week ago the Ink & Cleaning Kit cost $299.99; on the 4-week plan today it's $139.98, less than half. Deliveries come every 4, 8, or 12 weeks, and you can switch or cancel once two deliveries have arrived, so it's worth picking the cycle that matches how much you actually print.
Shelf life goes to 15 months
The color and gloss cartridges (eufyMake calls the set CMYKG) are now rated for 15 months, up from 12; the company says a white-ink improvement is still in development. For anyone printing at low volume, the rating decides how much of a cartridge actually ends up on parts rather than expiring in the drawer, so the three extra months are a quieter saving on top of the sticker cut.
Twice the print speed, coming in Q3
The E1 is also set to get faster. A free software update planned for Q3 adds bidirectional printing: the head will lay ink in both directions of travel instead of one. In eufyMake's own test, an A4-size print dropped from 18 minutes 34 seconds to 9 minutes 30 seconds. No hardware upgrade is involved, and the update covers machines already in the field. For a shop running its E1 near capacity, doubled throughput is the difference between one machine and two, so this is the announcement busy owners will be watching for in the release notes.
The high-capacity ink system: liter tanks, cheaper ink
The biggest reveal is the high-capacity continuous ink supply system (CISS) eufyMake has been hinting at, now confirmed for later this year. What the announcement describes:
- Tanks sized around white. White and varnish get 1,000 ml tanks, the CMYK colors 300 ml each, as do the cleaning and moisturizing fluids, with a waste-ink cartridge included. The asymmetry makes sense: white is the base layer under every color print and most raised texture, so it's the tank that empties first.
- A white-ink circulation system. White pigment settles, and sedimentation is what usually kills white channels. Keeping the ink moving targets the most familiar failure mode on this class of machine.
- Constant-pressure delivery and real ink gauges. Active pressure regulation, tank levels read to within 5%, and detection down below 1% remaining, in an enclosed, modular housing.
- The same ink, chemically. The tanks use the same formulation as the cartridges, carry the same GREENGUARD Gold claim, and follow the same rule: genuine eufyMake ink only.
eufyMake puts the tank ink at "around $0.1x" per milliliter, which would land it somewhere between a third and two thirds below the new cartridge price. The system's own price and an exact date haven't been announced.
Where this leaves the E1
The cut lands in a crowded summer for desktop UV printers. HeyGears and xTool have both published cheaper ink, at roughly $100 per liter against the E1's new $300. Both of those machines are still in preorder, though, while the E1 ships in days, and on subscription the E1's gap narrows to about two to one. If the tank system's teased pricing holds, it narrows again later this year. Where every machine in the field stands is in our desktop UV printer comparison, and the ink chapter of the HeyGears G1 story is the benchmark the E1 is now chasing.
The new prices are live on eufyMake's US and EU stores. The speed update is due in Q3, the ink system later this year, and this page will be updated when their pricing and dates land.
Frequently asked questions
How much does eufyMake E1 ink cost?
$29.99 per 100 ml cartridge since July 13, 2026, about $300 per liter, with euro prices matching ($29.99 = 29.99 EUR). Subscriptions cut a cartridge to $19.99 to $23.99 depending on delivery frequency, and the Ink & Cleaning Kit costs $209.99 one-time or $139.98 on the 4-week plan.
What did eufyMake E1 ink cost before the price cut?
$42.99 per 100 ml, about $430 per liter, from launch until July 13, 2026. The kit went from $299.99 to $209.99 and the cleaning cartridge from $42.99 to $29.99, all roughly 30% cuts.
Can you use third-party ink in the eufyMake E1?
No. The E1 takes genuine eufyMake cartridges only, and the announced tank system keeps that rule. If open ink is a requirement, that points to a different machine class; see the open-ink rows in our desktop UV comparison.
When does the eufyMake CISS come out and what will it cost?
Later this year, per the July 13, 2026 announcement. It pairs 1,000 ml white and varnish tanks with 300 ml color tanks, adds constant-pressure delivery and white-ink circulation, and prices its ink at 'around $0.1x per ml', roughly $100 to $199 per liter. The system's own price hasn't been announced.
How long does eufyMake E1 ink last before it expires?
15 months for the color and gloss cartridges (CMYKG) as of July 2026, up from 12. White ink keeps its previous rating for now, with an improvement in development.
Is eufyMake E1 ink cheaper than HeyGears or xTool ink?
Not yet: about $300 per liter against HeyGears' $83 to $117 and xTool's roughly $112, both launch prices for machines still in preorder. The E1's subscription pricing narrows the gap to about two to one, and the tank system coming later this year is aimed at closing most of the rest.
How fast will the eufyMake E1 print after the Q3 update?
Roughly twice as fast, per eufyMake's own test: an A4-size print fell from 18 minutes 34 seconds to 9 minutes 30 seconds with the bidirectional mode planned as a free Q3 2026 software update. It applies to existing machines with no hardware change.
