eufyMake E1 Roadmap Splits Q3 Speed Update From Q4 CISS Plan
eufyMake says E1 bidirectional mode is due in Q3, while its current banner places the high-capacity CISS in Q4. Neither update is live.
Checked July 18, 2026: eufyMake says a Q3 software update will add bidirectional printing to the E1; its A4 test fell from 18:34 to 9:30. The high-capacity CISS is planned for later in 2026—the current banner says Q4. CISS system pricing is not final, although compatible ink is described at about $0.1x/ml. Neither update is live.
Story briefeufyMake
eufyMake separates a Q3 bidirectional software update from its later high-capacity ink system
Checked July 18, 2026. eufyMake says a free Q3 software update will add bidirectional printing to the E1. In the company's A4 paper test, the same image and settings took 9 minutes 30 seconds in bidirectional mode versus 18 minutes 34 seconds in standard mode. That is about 49% less elapsed time, or nearly double the throughput in this single manufacturer test; eufyMake did not fully specify the quality mode, texture height, or other conditions needed to generalize the result. The high-capacity Continuous Ink Supply System follows a different schedule. The article describes it as arriving later in 2026, and the current eufyMake banner says Q4. The CISS system price is still being finalized. eufyMake describes compatible high-capacity ink at about $0.1x per ml and presents the system as a route to roughly 50% lower ink cost, but neither the accessory nor real-world savings are available to verify today. Individual E1 cartridges remain listed at $29.99 per 100 ml after the July 13 price change.
The useful update is the split, not a single Q3 launch. Current E1 owners may get more throughput through software before the high-capacity ink station arrives. Buyers should treat the speed result and savings estimate as manufacturer roadmap claims until the update ships, the CISS system price is published, and independent jobs show how results change with substrate, quality, texture height, maintenance, and waste.

What the roadmap means now
Bidirectional mode is a planned Q3 2026 software update with no hardware purchase specified. eufyMake's A4 test fell from 18:34 to 9:30, which is 49% less elapsed time and about 95% more throughput for that job. The CISS is a separate external station for ink and maintenance fluid, described for later in 2026; the current banner says Q4. The system price is not final. Compatible high-capacity ink is described at about $0.1x/ml, while current individual cartridges are $29.99 per 100 ml.
Market position: This changes the E1 operating-cost and throughput conversation, but it does not establish an independent production benchmark. Availability and independent verification before competing purchase deadlines are not guaranteed.
- What will the CISS system cost, and which E1 configurations will support it?
- Which quality modes, substrates, and texture heights work with bidirectional printing?
- How much ink and maintenance-fluid waste does the high-capacity setup produce in normal use?
Wait if: Bidirectional performance or the final CISS economics are required for your purchase decision
Consider the E1 now only if: The E1's current throughput and $29.99-per-100-ml cartridge cost already fit your work, with the roadmap treated as a possible future benefit

Frequently Asked Questions
When is bidirectional printing coming to the eufyMake E1?▼
eufyMake says the software update is planned for Q3 2026. Its published A4 test took 9:30 in bidirectional mode versus 18:34 in standard mode. That is a manufacturer test, not an independent result, and the update is not live as of this July 18 check.
When is the eufyMake E1 CISS expected?▼
The roadmap article places the high-capacity system later in 2026, while eufyMake's current banner says Q4. The CISS system price is still being finalized. eufyMake describes compatible ink at about $0.1x per ml, but the accessory and its real-world operating cost are not yet available to verify.
Can the CISS savings estimate be used for a purchase decision today?▼
Treat it as a manufacturer target, not a measured outcome. Use the UV Ink Cost Calculator with today's cartridge price, then rerun the estimate after eufyMake publishes the CISS system price, exact ink pricing, compatibility, and maintenance requirements.
