The XpertJet Pro 137cm (54”) and 162cm (64”) wide sign and display models feature brand new head technology, new generation weaving algorithms and Mutoh’s genuine VerteLith™ RIP software. The XpertJet 1641SRP and 1341SRP will deliver a significant improvement in both print quality and print speed. The new printers also integrate automatic alignments to ensure uninterrupted production and consistent quality. The printers come with Mutoh’s GREENGUARD Gold Certified MS31/MS41 inks.
Users will gain significant quality and speed advantages over previous generations, in all production print modes. Comparing corresponding print modes, the XPJ-1341SR Pro is up to 212% faster versus the VJ-1324X. The XPJ-1641SR Pro is up to 201% faster versus the XPJ-1641SR. This is all achieved by the Mutoh’s proprietary technologies working together.
Mutoh now offers its 1682SR dual head 162cm (64”) wide XpertJet model in 8 colour configuration with orange inks (C, M, Y, K, Lc, Lm, Lk, Or). The orange ink will allow printing of a new range of reds, oranges and yellows. Thanks to the Lc and Lm inks, the lighter colours, especially skin tones and colour gradients, will come out perfectly. The Light Black ink offers the advantage that grey gradients are printed much better and without any colour shift.
Mutoh’s new genuine RIP software, called VerteLith, is a complete ‘in the box’ print solution. Recently, the VerteLith RIP won an EDP award in the category ‘Workflow Technologies’. The software is built around the Harlequin Core, ensuring fast RIP processing times for both PDF and PostScript files, as well as perfect handling of transparencies and spot colours.
The VerteLith™ RIP integrates halftone screening technology specifically developed for inkjet, called ‘Clear Tone’. This Mutoh proprietary technology will allow seamless production of the best possible gradients and skin tones. To avoid waste, the software includes powerful preview functionality, supporting soft proofing and on-screen RIP previewing of the actual printed dots before printing.
The XpertJet 1642WR incorporates two new generation extra wide 1600 nozzle AccuFine print heads, installed in a staggered set-up. The new heads will offer best-in-class drop placement accuracy. Combined with Mutoh’s new proprietary i-screen weaving technology, Mutoh’s fourth generation weaving algorithms, the new printheads will deliver exceptional print quality at high production speeds. The XpertJet 1642WR will deliver sellable high quality production speeds up to 61sqm/h. Top engine speed of the machine is 98sqm/h.
The new XpertJet 1642WR comes with Mutoh’s new generation DS3-series HC dye sublimation ink. HC stands for ‘Increased Colourant’, which means reduced ink consumption, faster drying and compatibility with lightweight papers. Mutoh’s new sublimation inks are suited for paper printing as well as for direct printing onto polyester fabrics.
Mutoh’s second generation UV desktop printers, XpertJet 461UF and 661UF, are suited for personalised one-off prints and small lot production onto a wide variety of materials including objects up to 15cm thickness. They can be setup in either CMYK or CMYK + White + Varnish. In 2020, the XpertJet DTO printers won an EDP award in the category ‘Best Object Printer’.
The XpertJet A3+/A2+ sized printers feature various product enhancements such as an extended print area, a new multi-language intuitive OLED display and new cosmetics. The printers integrate a new pioneering innovation called Local Dimming Control technology, resulting in an important productivity and quality boost, as this allows producing multiple varnish effects in one table movement.
The XPJ-461UF and XPJ-661UF printers will respond to the increasing demand for added-value personalised prints and bespoke small-lot production of commercial and industrial print applications. Typical applications encompass personalised and/or branded gifts and souvenirs, packaging prototypes, decorative tiles, circular objects (bottles), awards, figurines and models, custom components, small to medium format rigid signage and much more.
The ValueJet 1638UR Mark II is a 162cm (64”) wide 6-colour (C, M, Y, K, White, Clear) UV LED roll-to-roll printer, featuring new print modes and industry leading features such as Mutoh’s proprietary VerteLith™ Clear Tone screening, Intelligent Interweaving UV and DropMaster technologies.
The printer also comes with VerteLith™ RIP software with advanced 6 channel support. It is ideally suited for the production of high quality graphics: in-store promotion prints and deco graphics, floor and window graphics, general signage, customised structured wallpapers, event banners and exhibition graphics, backlit prints, fine art prints, packaging samples and much more.
Mutoh will present its range of solutions spanning signage and display printers, software, direct-to-object printers and more at FESPA, taking place from May 31st – June 3rd in Berlin.
