xTool's O1 Omni: a desktop UV printer aimed squarely at the eufyMake E1.

xTool, normally a laser company, is moving into UV printing with the O1 Omni - and it's going straight after the eufyMake E1 that has defined the desktop UV category (and that several of our own free tools are built around). Here's what's been confirmed so far.

What it is

The O1 Omni is a modular desktop printer with two dedicated printheads - one for UV, one for fabric - so a single machine covers UV direct printing onto rigid objects, UV-DTF stickers, DTG onto garments and DTF transfers. The bed is A3+ (330 x 420mm) with at least 150mm of height clearance for printing onto thicker objects.

The headline practical feature is SmartCycle 2.0: automatic white-ink stirring, circulation and a hydration system meant to stop the white ink clogging after the machine has sat idle for weeks. White-ink maintenance is the single biggest pain of desktop UV, so if that works as claimed it matters more than any spec on the sheet.

How it compares to the E1

On the essentials the O1 Omni matches the eufyMake E1 - similar bed size, rigid-object printing, white ink - and adds the garment printing (DTG/DTF) the E1 doesn't focus on. The E1's advantage is a year of real-world use and a known workflow; the O1's pitch is the wider range of print types plus xTool's software and support ecosystem.

What it means for you

If you're a UK small business weighing a desktop UV printer for personalised products, this turns a one-horse race into a real choice - which is good for both pricing and features. But hold fire on specifics: there's no confirmed price yet, no UK availability date, and launch is only pencilled in for around July-August 2026. As ever with desktop UV, running ink cost and white-ink reliability are what make or break it, so we'll update once xTool publishes final numbers.

One bonus if you do go this way: our depth-map and lenticular tools output for any UV printer, so they'll suit the O1 Omni just as they do the E1.
