What's actually in the price
The hardware price isn't a stripped-down lure — it's the full kit. Every machine ships with the launch package:
- Ink cartridges: 5 with the V11, 10 with the X12.5
- Printing gels (required for adhesion)
- A curing lamp and a nail drill
- Holders and practice nails
- Step-by-step video tutorials
Package value: over $2,500 with the V11, over $4,000 with the X12.5.
Ongoing consumable costs
Once the launch-package cartridges run out, plan for these recurring expenses:
- Cartridges: rotate based on print volume — most salons doing 5–8 printed sets per week burn through about 1 cartridge per month
- Gel base and topcoat: last 2–3 months at typical salon volume
- Practice tips: only if you want extras beyond those included
For a typical salon doing 6 sets/week at $30 each, consumables run ~10–12% of revenue. The ROI calculator models this for your own numbers.
