Why the EufyMake E1 feels slow
The EufyMake E1 is a low-budget, entry-level desktop UV printer, and a lot of its slowness comes with that territory — reinjecting ink, print head cleanings, and test prints all take a while no matter what you do. That's fine for home use, but if you're running a small business, it's worth knowing there are a couple of easy adjustments that noticeably speed things up without any extra cost.

Use the mini flatbed for small items
If you're printing something small, there's no reason to use the large flatbed. The snapshot step the printer runs before every print takes noticeably longer on the standard bed than it does on the mini flatbed, so switching to the smaller bed for anything that fits saves real time on every single print or test.
Orient your design to landscape
The print head runs all the way across the bed on every pass, so the orientation of your design matters. Turning a small design sideways instead of printing it upright reduces the number of times the print head has to travel back and forth, which cuts down print time even on identical designs.
