Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on the AI nail printer range: the nine models, which cartridge each model uses, nails per cartridge, gels, power supply, what is in the box, samples, documentation and how quotations work.
What is an AI nail printer?
An AI nail printer is a digital inkjet device that prints a selected design directly onto a fingernail or an artificial nail tip. The nail is prepared with a base gel and a printing gel layer, the printer applies the design, and a top gel seals it. This range has nine models in portable, desktop and floor-standing formats.
Which models are portable, desktop and floor-standing?
Portable: M1 (0.5 kg) and H1 (1.0 kg). Desktop: V11, X11 and Nao3. Floor-standing with a 10.1-inch touchscreen: X11PLUS, X12.5, X25 and X30.
Which ink cartridge does each model use?
The M1 and H1 use the FM10 cartridge. The V11, X11, X11PLUS, X12.5, X25 and X30 use the SM10 cartridge. The Nao3 uses its own dedicated Nao3 cartridge. Cartridges are not interchangeable between these three types.
How many nails can one cartridge print?
Catalog yields are about 1,000 nails for one SM10 cartridge, about 450 nails for one FM10 cartridge and about 700 nails for one Nao3 dedicated cartridge. Actual yield varies with design size and coverage.
What gels does the printing workflow need?
Four gels form the standard set: a base gel, a printing gel (PG0 transparent, PG4+ semi-transparent fine glitter, or PG4 white) that receives the printed design, a cleaning gel for preparation, and a top gel that seals the finished print. The same gel set serves all nine models.
Do the printers need a phone to work?
The M1, H1, V11 and X11 are controlled from an Android or iOS phone. The Nao3 has a built-in 5-inch screen, and the X11PLUS, X12.5, X25 and X30 have built-in 10.1-inch touchscreens, so those models work without a phone.
Can the portable models run without mains power?
Yes. The M1 and H1 run on DC 5V/2A and the catalog specifies operation from a power bank or a power adapter, which is why they suit mobile technicians and events. The desktop and floor-standing models use mains adapters.
What is included in the box with each machine?
Every machine ships with an artificial nail holder, a USB-C power cable, one ink cartridge of the matching type, test paper and a user manual.
