Mutoh has announced the next generation ValueJet 1608HA hybrid printer.
Mutoh said that the new generation printer was specifically designed to meet the demands of customers.
The advancements are as follows:
- A compressor is no longer required. The VJ1608HA includes a medical grade air pump to drive the heated air nozzles. The air pump incorporates external filters that help reduce condensation and damage from foreign particles.
- New heavy duty design and construction of the feed and take-up tables.
VJ1608HA integrates the hot air nozzle controllers into the printer thus enabling control of the HAN from the RIP or control panel. - Advanced new print modes including a 1440x1440 dpi resolution with double the speed!
- Now incorporating the latest Epson print head that has 5 variable dot sizes.
- Improved air flow and circulation through the printer cabinet.
Marcus Fantl of Mutoh Australia said "The ValueJet 1608HA was effectively and efficiently designed to increase productivity and can be used to print on both rigid substrates and roll to roll including car wraps. It prints directly onto corrugated plastics, polystyrene, PVC, acrylic, Polycarbonate, foam board, aluminium composite, banner, wall covering and more. It can reach speeds up to 120 sq/ft/hr in production mode using Mutoh’s patented Intelligent Interweave print technique that virtually eliminates banding.
The ValueJet 1608HA uses Mubio ink, recognised by the EPA Design for the Environment programme composed of 80% plant derived substances, containing no harmful VOC’s. A 4-colour printer with a maximum resolution of 1440 dpi, and automatic media thickness detection. The Mubio ink is available in 880 ml ink packs.
