At Hall B5 – Stand F29, the Mutoh booth will feature a wide range of digital inkjet solutions covering Mutoh’s different product clusters:

New ValueJet 1627MH – Multi-Purpose Hybrid Printer:

 Mutoh will première the new 64-inch wide ValueJet 1627MH hybrid inkjet printer, featuring a hot air knife media drying system and unique CMYK + White resin-based inks, enabling direct printing on the widest range of white, transparent and coloured rigid & roll substrates. The new Mutoh VJ-1627MH is equally suited for sign & display print shops to produce both indoor and long-term outdoor prints, as well as for graphic companies looking for a digital solution for proofing or short-run production of packaging prototypes or customised labels, even for industrial businesses specialised in thermo-forming. 

UV LED - Direct-to-Object, Roll-to-Roll, Hybrid and Flatbed Printers:

In the past years, Mutoh has been gradually extending its UV LED product range. Following products will be showcased at FESPA: 

• ValueJet 426UF and ValueJet 626UF direct-to-object UV LED desktop printers:

With a print size of A3+ and A2 respectively, these printers allow direct printing on objects up to 70 and 150 mm thick and offer CMYK + white + clear inks. They are particularly suited for printing customised promo gifts and a wide variety of personalised products.

• ValueJet 1638UR: Roll-to-Roll UV LED printer for prints with high added value: This 64-inch (162 cm) wide dual head printer has been developed for the commercial print and sign & display markets. It uses Mutoh's flexible UV LED CMYK, White and Clear 0% VOC inks that enable printing on transparent media and non-white substrates, multi-layer printing and spot varnish effects.
• PerformanceJet 2508UF: True flatbed printer with a print bed of 8 x 4-inch combining a set of powerful features to maximise productivity. This is a preferred choice for printers looking for high quality, precision, added value specialty prints, productivity and an attractive environmental footprint.

Sign & Display & Print-to-Cut Solutions:

Mutoh will be presenting the made-in-Japan professional ValueJet sign & display printer range for indoor and outdoor commercial print and print-to-cut applications, ranging from 24-inch up to 102-inch print widths. Since 2007 over 15,000 ValueJet printers were installed in Europe alone.

Showstoppers will be the award winning 64-inch wide ValueJet 1624X single head and ValueJet 1638X dual head printers.

Mutoh printer and cutter combo solutions offer the highest level of flexibility for print, cut and print-to-cut applications. The Mutoh print & cut combos offer either a semi-automated or fully automated workflow with barcode recognition, controlled from a single production software. Mutoh cutting plotters - available in widths from 77 cm to 190 cm (30 to 75-inch) - are fit for vinyl cutting as well as for contour-cut and through-cut applications. They all integrate a laser sensor that will recognise registration marks on pre-printed graphics. This way, the cutter will know perfectly in which area it will have to do contour-cutting or through-cutting. 

Digital Sublimation and Direct-To-Textile Printers:

Visitors will be able to discover the high speed ValueJet 1948WX digital dye sublimation printer, offering sellable print speeds up to 125 m•/h and top speeds of 195 m•/h! The robust & industrial VJ-1948WX (75-inch – 1910 mm wide) dye sublimation printer is a top choice for production-oriented customers and businesses looking for a high-quality volume printer for intensive use. Application possibilities encompass both transfer to and direct printing of fabrics as well as transfer to rigids.

For direct-to-textile print applications, including natural fabrics such as cotton, Mutoh will present the 75-inch (1910 mm) wide ValueJet 1938TX printer. Specifically targeted at sampling of short-run on-demand and local digital production of garments, upholstery, fashion, swimwear, interior deco fabrics, home textiles, flags, etc.
