Dual-head UV direct-to-object printer
xTool O1 Omni — Studio Overview
The O1 Omni is not a laser — it is a UV printer that deposits full-colour, white and varnish ink directly onto objects a laser could only engrave in monochrome. Our Dual UV edition is newly installed in the Dunshaughlin studio and available for in-person demonstrations by appointment. This page is an overview based on that installation; for the full edition-by-edition guide see our O1 Omni printer guide in the journal.

Who it's for
Where this machine actually earns its keep.
- Businesses adding full-colour branding to products — promotional goods, packaging, awards, gifts.
- Studios that already engrave and want colour on wood, metal, acrylic, glass or leather without outsourcing print.
- Short-run personalisation where vinyl, sublimation or outsourcing is too slow or too limited.
- Anyone weighing up UV printing against laser-only workflows before investing.
Strengths
- Full CMYK + white + varnish ink directly onto rigid objects — colour where lasers mark monochrome.
- Dual-head configuration prints colour and white/varnish in one pass.
- Complements a laser rather than replacing it: engrave, cut and print under one roof.
- UV DTF transfer workflow extends coverage to hard-to-fixture surfaces.
Honest limits
- It prints — it does not cut or engrave. A laser remains the right tool for depth marking and cutting.
- UV inks need compatible, clean surfaces; coated, plated or unfamiliar substrates should be tested before production.
- Like any ink system, it rewards regular use and routine maintenance — factor ink and consumable costs into pricing.
Materials
What we actually mark, cut and engrave on it.
- Wood, metal, acrylic, glass, ceramic and leather with suitable preparation.
- UV DTF transfers for awkward shapes and hard surfaces.
- Always test coated, plated or unfamiliar materials before committing to a production run.
