Mutoh ValueJet 426UF UV Flatbed Printer vs eufyMake E1 UV DTF & Direct To Object 3D-Texture Printer

The eufyMake E1 is the better buy for most shoppers deciding between these two. It costs $1,748.99 at Swing Design as of November 1, versus $9,500.00 for the Mutoh ValueJet 426UF as of October 30 — roughly five times less. The Mutoh is a production flatbed with a larger table and faster throughput, so it only makes sense if you need volume output.

Pros
  • True-to-life color accuracy
  • One-click background removal
  • Camera makes design alignment easy
  • UV-cured prints hold up outdoors
Cons
  • Base printer ships without inks
  • Learning curve for texture layering

Questions and answers

Which is better for a small business making custom gifts?
The eufyMake E1. It prints on 300+ materials, adds 3D texture up to 5 mm, and costs $1,748.99 at Swing Design as of November 1, versus $9,500.00 for the Mutoh.
Which handles thicker objects?
The Mutoh ValueJet 426UF, at 7 cm (2.75") maximum media thickness. The eufyMake E1 tops out at 50 mm.
Is the Mutoh worth the extra money?
Only if you need volume. Its 28 tables per hour and varnish/dual-white channels justify $9,500.00 for a production shop; most home and small-business users will not use that capacity.
Can the eufyMake E1 print raised textures?
Yes. It builds tactile 3D textures up to 5 mm high using Amass3D layering, which the Mutoh does not offer.
Do I need to buy ink separately for the E1?
Yes. Buyers report the base printer does not include inks, so budget for the six CMYK + White + Gloss cartridges.
Which prints faster?
The Mutoh, rated at up to 28 tables per hour. eufyMake does not publish a production throughput figure for the E1.
