Celebrating its 70th year in business, Mutoh has completed its ‘PRO’ model line-up of wide format printers with the unveiling of the XpertJet 1682SR Pro. It’s faster and can use gBL-free inks. September saw the release of the company’s MS51 gBL-free quick-dry inks. Now it’s all come together with the official unveiling in Europe of the Mutoh XpertJet (XPJ) 1682SR Pro model 1.6 metre wide-format printer, with up to 200 percent speed increase and ability to run a double CMYK MS51 inkset for extra safety and faster drying time.
Mutoh XPJ-1682SR Pro is an upgraded version of the existing XPJ-1682SR, with the main difference being that the AccuFine HD 3200 (EPSON) printheads are now the latest PrecisionCore versions. This makes it a true production powerhouse for signage, wrap and display companies needing to pump out the square metres (up to 35 sq m/h in production), of printed SAV and other materials at top speed. It uses two AccuFine HD 3200 heads, the nozzles of which are arranged in a staggered configuration for higher density. Each printhead has four colour channels, allowing a choice of configurations with either two sets of CMYK or an eight colour inkset of CMYK plus light cyan, light magenta, light black and orange.
