MUTOH Europe has announced that its XpertJet 1681SR Pro printer is being recognised with the European Digital Press (EDP) Award for the ‘Best Roll-to-Roll Printer <170 cm’ in the category of ‘Large/Wide Format Printing Systems’. The award was presented during the recent FESPA 2026 Barcelona in Spain. The EDP Awards, organised by the European Digital Press Association, celebrated the most innovative and high-performing technologies in digital printing, publishing, and packaging. Mutoh’s XpertJet 1681SR Pro printer is a next-generation 64” (1,625 mm) eco-solvent roll-to-roll printer developed for professional sign & display production requiring consistent image quality, reliable operation and versatile day-to-day productivity.

At the heart of the printer is the AccuFine HD Pro print head – a single-head piezo system with 3,200 nozzles across eight channels – engineered for accurate droplet placement and detailed image reproduction. Combined with MUTOH’s latest i-screen technology (i-Screen EX), the XpertJet 1681SR Pro is designed to support smoother gradations, controlled solid areas and stable output over extended production runs. In Europe, the XpertJet 1681SR Pro is supplied with MUTOH genuine MS51 eco-solvent inks in an 8-colour configuration: CMYK + Light Cyan + Light Magenta + Orange + Red. The addition of Orange and Red strengthens warm colour expression and red reproduction, supporting more accurate brand colours and higher-impact graphics, while light inks help to deliver refined tonal transitions with reduced graininess—particularly beneficial for retail graphics, high-end signage and vehicle & fleet applications.
