Both the xTool M1 Ultra and S1 are Class 1 safety machines designed with robust expandability. Both are compatible with the RA2 Pro for rotary projects and support laser screen printing, offering even more creative potential.

• Choose the M1 Ultra if you love DIY crafting and want a versatile machine that saves space, boosts efficiency, and handles a wide variety of creative tasks and materials.
• Choose the S1 if you’re focused on laser engraving and cutting, need a larger workspace for bigger projects, and require efficient batch processing.

The S1 is a laser engraver with versatile power options, including 10W, 20W, and 40W (for thicker cutting), as well as 2W IR (for all metal engraving). On the other hand, the M1 Ultra is a 4-in-1 multifunctional craft machine that combines Laser (10W and 20W), Inkjet, Blade, and Pen modules for even more creative possibilities.The S1 offers a larger working area of 19.6" x 13" (498mm x 330mm), which can be extended up to 118 inches with an optional conveyor accessory, providing more space than the M1 Ultra’s 11.81" x 11.81" (300mm x 300mm). The S1 also operates at a higher speed, reaching up to 600mm/s, compared to the M1 Ultra’s 400mm/s. This makes the S1 ideal for creating large door signs or managing high-efficiency batch production.

However, with its 4-in-1 design, the M1 Ultra offers features that the S1 lacks, such as inkjet printing, fine-point cutting, deep cutting, rotary cutting, foiling, debossing, and drawing & writing. It can process over 1,000 materials—three times more than a single laser module (such as vinyl, which cannot be processed with lasers)—and even pairs with the xTool H1 for heat-press projects, delivering exceptional versatility for crafting.

Laser Mode: 300mm*300mm

Pen Mode: 300mm*300mm

Inkjet Mode: 294mm*298mm

M1 Ultra doesn't have a built-in camera because the camera of this size machine may have an error of more than 5mm.

However, M1 Ultra has your back with its revolutionary Snapshot Preview and Pin-point PositioningTM tech, which is 10 times more accurate than single-camera systems.

Normal ink (DYE ink). We focus on direct printing and are exploring new solutions beyond the existing module.Stay tuned for future updates as we aim to bring more printheads for more versatile material printing!

It can print patterns that fill 20 sheets of standard A4 paper at the default concentration.

The specific service life is related to printing color, concentration, ambient temperature, etc.

Of course! M1 Ultra is compatible with xTool Screen Printer small-sized frame (M Series). We can't wait to see all the amazing work you'll create with it!

M1 Ultra is a versatile craft machine. Lightburn is primarily designed for laser use, and connecting it would disable many features and result in a poor experience. Please use our official XCS software for the best performance.

It can print on fabrics, boards, printing paper, and other materials. However, it cannot print on very dense or smooth surfaces, such as metal, glass, and ceramics, because the ink cannot penetrate or adhere. These materials can be processed after applying a suitable ink coating.
