Mutoh Europe launches version 2 of its 64" wide XpertJet 1641 SR Pro CMYK solvent printer. The 1625 mm wide XpertJet 1641 SR Pro II printer is designed for indoor and outdoor signage, vehicle wraps, exhibition stands, point-of-sale and point-of-purchase advertising.
The XpertJet 1641 SR Pro II incorporates the AccuFine HD Pro head, featuring eight rows of nozzles with row coupling to improve application precision for each color and, with, reaches a speed of 17.6 m 2 /h, 60% faster than the XpertJet 1641 SR Pro model with AccuFine head.
Mutoh has combined this head with the new i-Screen EX system, a print control system that applies control effects to the passes. According to the Japanese brand, this configuration enables smoother gradations, improved colorimetric uniformity and finer detail reproduction, with stability announced over a wide speed range.
This new CMYK ecosolvent press uses fast-drying MS51 ink, designed for prolonged outdoor use (it is weather- and scratch-resistant).
This ink is UL Greenguard Gold certified, with no gBL and no health or safety warning pictograms. It has also obtained various low VOC emission ratings (AgBB, A+ [France], Belgian VOC and M1) and can support projects with BREEAM environmental credits or LEED points.
The new large-format printer also features a Wide Color Choice input profile. Wide Color Choice extends the gamut, particularly in dark areas, with deeper blacks and brighter reds, for applications such as high-impact graphics, automotive wrapping and retail signage, says Mutoh.
The XpertJet 1641 SR Pro II also incorporates DropMaster 2 and FeedMaster, automatic adjustment devices for bi-directional alignment and media feed, to reduce set-up time, and Media Tracker and Nozzle Area Select to improve operational efficiency and minimize downtime.
