LONGER Begins Shipping ePrint Crowdfunding Orders

LONGER, a manufacturer of digital fabrication equipment, has officially initiated fulfillment for ePrint crowdfunding backers, marking an important milestone in the development and commercialization of the company's latest printing platform. The company has now begun dispatching ePrint desktop UV printers to its early supporters, following the completion of production preparation and final fulfillment arrangements. LONGER has shipped 30 ePrint units as of September 30, with another 300 units scheduled to ship by October 20, and a further 500 units by October 30. The company expects to complete the shipment of all remaining crowdfunding orders in November, bringing the current crowdfunding fulfillment phase to completion.

The ePrint system combines UV printing with additional printing capabilities, including DTF, DTG, and UV DTF applications. Its dual-head configuration and 12-channel ink architecture are designed to support a range of color and specialty-ink combinations, giving users the ability to explore different printing effects and applications. The platform can be used for applications across a variety of materials, including acrylic, wood, metal, ceramic, glass, leather, fabric, and other surfaces. Depending on the configuration and workflow, users can create customized products such as signage, promotional items, gifts, packaging, decorative products, apparel, and personalized merchandise.

LONGER, founded in 2016, is a global technology company specializing in UV printers, laser engravers, and 3D printers. Guided by its brand promise, "Better Tools for Everyone," the company is committed to making advanced manufacturing tools more accessible and empowering creators, makers, small businesses, and professionals worldwide to bring their ideas to life.

The beginning of shipments represents the transition of ePrint from a crowdfunding-backed product development project into the customer delivery stage. For the backers who supported the project from its early development, the start of fulfillment marks a tangible step toward bringing the ePrint platform into their studios, workshops, and businesses. This stage follows extensive preparation to transition ePrint from development into production and delivery. LONGER has been working to prepare the manufacturing and fulfillment process for a product that combines multiple printing functions and configurations within a single desktop platform. The company's current priority is to maintain an organized fulfillment process while keeping customers informed as their orders move through shipment.

The ePrint desktop UV printing platform was introduced as a solution intended to provide creators, customization businesses, and small-scale manufacturers with greater flexibility in product personalization and short-run production. Rather than positioning ePrint around a single application, LONGER developed the platform to support a broader range of creative and commercial workflows. The company sees this flexibility as particularly relevant to small businesses and creators who may need to work across different product categories without investing in multiple specialized machines.
