Mutoh has announced DrafStation RJ-900XG, a new addition to its dye sublimation printer line-up. Available immediately, this new 106.68cm (42”) wide CMYK high-quality dye sublimation printer will fit the needs of start-up and established businesses wanting to extend their product portfolio with digital transfer applications.
The new RJ-900XG is suitable for volume production runs as well as short print runs of sublimated graphics: banners, flags, soft signage, interior decoration, sportswear and transfer onto all kinds of objects (mugs, cups, mouse pads, snowboards).
Featuring a high level of operator comfort and print production efficiency, the compact DrafStation RJ-900XG incorporates a piezo drop-on-demand print head offering print resolutions up to 2880 dpi. The print head is capable of firing drops from 3.4pl up to 49.5pl. The capability to fire larger drops is essential for speedy dye sublimation applications compatible with lower print resolutions.
Delivering typical production speeds from 5 to 18.5sqm/h, the new 106.68vm (42”) wide RJ-900XG will print on typical 95g/sqm dye sublimation transfer papers and can handle 106.68cm (2”) and 7.62cm (3”) core rolls. The printer comes with a stand and a non-motorised roll-off system. Mutoh also offers an optional motorised winder system for media rolls up to 30 kg which will roll-up finished prints.
The RJ-900XG uses Mutoh’s genuine DS2-series dye sublimation inks which are 100% VOC free and do not require any risk labelling. Available in 1 litre bottles, the inks deliver top scores in wash fastness, rubbing and perspiration. Transfer is possible onto polyester objects, mixed fibre fabrics (minimum 80% polyester) or onto polyester coated objects. Mutoh DS2 inks are Ökotex Standard 100 compliant. They can be loaded into refillable cassettes or into Mutoh’s optional bulk ink system offering an ink autonomy of 1.2 litre per colour.
The DrafStation RJ-900XG printer is also compatible with Mutoh’s regular water-based dye and pigmented inks for indoor and short term outdoor graphics. Mutoh will display the new RJ-900XG printer at its booth at the oncoming FESPA 2015 show in Cologne, taking place from 18-22 May.
