New XpertJet Pro Sign & Display Printers

The XpertJet Pro 54-inch and 64-inch wide sign & display models feature new head technology, new-generation weaving algorithms and Mutoh’s genuine VerteLith RIP software. The XpertJet 1682SRP, 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/MS51 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 % more quickly versus the XPJ-1641SR, and the XPJ-1682SR Pro is up to 185 % faster than the XPJ-1682SR.

New Generation Hazard-Free GREENGUARD Gold Certified MS51 Inks

Mutoh’s new MS51 quick dry CMYK inks fulfil the requirements of today’s sign professionals regarding indoor and outdoor signage applications and do not require health and safety pictograms; they are also gB-free. As such they can be used in office, home and retail environments. Compared to traditional sign and display inks, they offer the same colour gamut, excellent gloss preservation and weather resistance, abrasion and chemical resistance with UV durability up to 3 years without lamination. There is also no additional printer maintenance required.

Mutoh MS51 inks are also GREENGUARD Gold certified. Certification was obtained for the category “Wallpaper”, allowing for output that can be used at full room coverage, even in sensitive environments such as schools and hospitals.

The XpertJet 1642WR Pro, Mutoh’s new flagship model, incorporates two new generation extra wide 1600nozzle AccuFine print heads, installed in a staggered setup. The new heads will offer best-in-class drop placement accuracy. Combined with Mutoh’s new proprietary i-screen weaving technology – its fourth generation weaving algorithms - the new print heads will deliver exceptional print quality at high production speeds.

The XpertJet 1642WR Pro will deliver sellable high quality production speeds up to 61 m²/h. Top engine speed of the machine is 98 m²/h.

FESPA visitors will also be able to see the new 54 inch wide single head XpertJet 1341WR Pro model, delivering production speeds up to 29.2 sqm/h

XpertJet 461UF/661UF Direct-to-Object Printers

The XpertJet A3+/A2+ sized desktop flatbed printers feature various product enhancements such as an extended print area, a multi-language intuitive OLED display, new cosmetics and a new pioneering innovation called Mutoh’s Local Dimming Control technology.

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.Both printers can be setup in either CMYK or in CMYK + White + Varnish configuration and are suited for direct printing onto a wide variety of materials including three dimensional objects up to 15 cm thick. Printing on dark coloured or clear substrates is also possible thanks to the use of white inks. Special added value finishing like spotvarnish or even stunning special effects such as special structures or embossing are possible thanks to dedicated varnish inks. Mutoh's VerteLith RIP software also has emboss presets and a texture library on board.
