For mobile nail technicians and passionate hobbyists, creating intricate nail art can be a time-consuming and challenging process. Hand-painting complex designs often limits the number of clients you can see in a day or the level of detail you can achieve at home. Nail printing technology solves that problem — but the budget end of the market has moved. Below is what the entry-level option used to be, and what it is now.
Is there a nail printer under $1,000 CAD?
No — not from O'2Nails. The O'2Nails M1 used to be the sub-$1,000 option, but it has been discontinued and withdrawn from sale. We are not able to point you at a current O'2Nails machine below $1,000, and we won't invent one.
The lowest-priced current O'2Nails machine is the V11 at $2,999 CAD. It is the compact, portable model in the line — the same role the M1 played — and it is the direct successor to the M1, H1 and X11. If budget is the deciding factor, financing through Affirm and Shop Pay is available at checkout, and you can model the numbers for your own business with our ROI calculator.
What the O'2Nails M1 was (discontinued)
Historical reference only — the M1 is no longer sold and no longer priced.
The M1 was a compact, portable device designed for personal use, hobbyists, and mobile technicians. It featured a print speed of approximately in seconds, allowing a full hand to be completed in about 5 minutes, and access to a cloud library of over 10,000 designs. Its role in the line-up is now filled by the V11.
How the old entry model compared to professional salon models
Both machines in the table below are discontinued. Neither is available to buy, and neither has a current price.
The primary differences lay in the build material, intended usage volume, and form factor. The M1 was built for portability and personal or light professional use, whereas models like the V12 and X11 Plus were designed for continuous, multi-chair salon environments.

How Can Mobile Techs Maximize ROI?
Mobile nail technicians can boost their income by adding printed nail art to their service menu.
By cutting the time spent on complex nail art, mobile techs can accommodate more clients per day, and the ability to offer flawless, intricate designs supports premium pricing. Because the machine that this section was originally costed against is discontinued, we are not quoting a payback figure here — run your own numbers against current pricing with our ROI calculator.
