Sources: Amazon.co.uk listings and manufacturer specifications. Prices as listed on Amazon.co.uk on 17 September 2026.
Tiered models by configuration: black and white entry, colour, and advanced. Higher tiers carry higher margins.
Standard and special cartridges (UV, conductive), a continuous ink supply system, and add-on modules.
Cloud storage and the AI assistant, as a subscription.
Finished sub-modules can ship as products of their own before the full printer, bringing customer feedback and revenue during development.
The first production run is small, and manufacturing spend grows batch by batch with sales. The more we make, the lower the cost of each printer.
