Procolored X one is a 3-in-1 machine which combines a UV color printer, a dual-laser engraver (20W diode + 2W IR), and a UV-DTF sticker maker into a single, compact, enclosed unit. It is designed to simplify workflows for small businesses and DIY makers by bringing multiple functions into a single system.
Traditionally, creating full-color engraved products requires multiple machines and a messy pre-coating step before printing. The X one simplifies this by using a special X-axis dual-track design that lets you switch between laser cutting and UV printing without moving the object, making the workflow faster and easier.

One major concern when combining a laser and a UV printer in a single machine is dust. Lasers create dust, and UV printheads are very sensitive to dust, which can easily clog them and cause problems. Procolored solves this with their unique dual-track system. It keeps the laser and UV printing separate: when the laser is working, the UV printheads stay off. This effectively prevents dust from clogging the printheads. The machine is built with a sturdy metal frame, features a stylish orange-lit chamber, and includes a built-in touchscreen for easy control. It also uses a professional G7-certified color system for accurate, high-quality prints.
Speaking about the prints, the company also mentions that the machine comes with integrated UV varnish with instant-curing technology, which enables it to create raised, tactile, embossed “2.5D textures” and high-gloss finishes on materials.
The company does not clearly discuss software support, but a YouTube video shows they are now using a new all-in-one platform to control UV printing, laser engraving, and UV-DTF sticker making. Procolored developed this software in-house specifically for this machine, instead of relying on third-party tools. It supports both Windows and macOS. The software also handles smart features like automatic alignment, height sensing, and design tools, making it easier to use. This is especially useful for Mac users, as many similar machines only support Windows.
Previously, we have reviewed various laser engravers like the Creality Falcon A1 Pro, the ACMER X1, the LaserPecker LP5, and others, but none of these could handle color printing on the material, which makes the Procolored X rather a unique machine.
The Procolored X one full-color laser engraver is available on Kickstarter and has already surpassed its $100,000 goal with over $700,000 raised so far. It’s available in three bundles. The Basic bundle ($3,799) includes the machine, a 20W laser, platforms, inks, and accessories; the Standard bundle ($3,999) adds a UV-DTF kit and rotary attachment; and the Professional bundle ($4,199) also includes a 2W IR laser. Extra add-ons like an air purifier and ink bottles are sold separately. Shipping is about $199 to the US and $299 to Europe/UK, with no shipping to South America, Saudi Arabia, or India. Delivery is expected around January 2027.
