Mutoh introduces two new XpertJet eco-solvent printers

Mutoh Industries Ltd (affiliated with Mutoh Holdings Co Ltd) has announced the launch of the XpertJet 1682SR and 1641SR new high-quality and high productivity eco-solvent printers.

Renewed to a stylish appearance with stealth colour, the new series provides improved usability and reduces operational workload, ensuring high quality, high productivity and user-friendly operation.

The XpertJet 1682SR is a high-speed eco-solvent printer equipped with a staggered dual print head and capable to express smooth gradation with 7-colour ink set.  The XpertJet 1641SR, with 4-colour ink set, is a single head model that offers excellent balance of performance, image quality and affordable price range.

Mutoh’s unique multi-stage pressurising mechanism enhances media feed stability for various media by selecting the mode such as ‘high’ for slippery media,  ‘default’ (middle)" for standard PVC sheets and synthetic papers, and ‘low’ for thin and soft media.  In addition, media cockling can be minimised by canceling multiple pressure rollers individually.

Other features of the series include:

  • ‘High Precision Aluminum Rail Mechanism’ for high quality and stable printing
  • New design that allows high usability for front access to ink cartridge holders, LAN cable and power cables
  • A built-in colour sensor that achieves ‘Automatic Bi-Directional adjustment’, saving operational workload for the calibration and reducing variation caused from individual operators.
  • Internal LED lighting for ease of operation and print status monitoring
  • LED warning indicators for each cartridge slot show ink remaining amount status
  • Operation panel that will only display keys necessary for desired function
  • The Mutoh Status Monitor that allows the printer operation status to be checked with a smartphone or tablet (even from a distance)
  • The operator’s loading work efficiency is improved by setting the newly developed media flange from both sides. When the flanges have been mounted in advance, it becomes easy and quick to exchange multiple rolls.

 

Additionally, the new eco solvent ink MS41 has high colour development and ease of maintenance. In addition to KCMY 4 colours, light colour ink ‘Lk’, ‘Lc’ and ‘Lm’ are available with the 1L bag.  The XpertJet 1682SR delivers high-quality printing (even at reduced resolution) thanks to the 7-colour configuration.

Following the launch in Japan, the new XpertJet eco-solvent printers will be released sequentially in the US, EMEA and Asia.

Further details can be obtained from Mutoh Australia, who will be exhibiting at PrintEx in August.
