Why you might not notice your EufyMake E1 white ink isn't working
When you're printing on a white surface, a failing white ink channel is easy to miss, since there's no white background to contrast against. The problem usually only becomes obvious once you print on a dark material or make a UV sticker, and by then you may have already tried "fixing" it the wrong way — stacking five or six layers of white when two should be plenty. Piling on extra layers isn't a real fix; it's a sign the white channel needs to be tested, not compensated for.

How to run a white ink test print
In EufyMake Studio, go to device settings and select Test Printing. You'll be prompted to cover the platform with a piece of paper before the machine runs the test, which takes about four to six minutes. It's especially worth running this any time your machine has just come out of maintenance mode — something that happens automatically after about three days without printing — since that's a common point where the white ink stops printing correctly.
What a correct test print looks like vs. a bad one
On a correct test print, the dashes on the black test box show up clearly in solid white — no gray, no angle-squinting required. On a failing print, those same dashes barely show up at all. If your result looks off, tell the software the white result is incorrect and let it run a print head cleaning cycle, then check a second test print. If the white is still weak after that, it's time to move on to a deeper fix rather than repeating test prints.
