‘We are delighted to present the PerformanceJet for the first time in the EMEA business area at Fespa,’ said Kenji Yasuhara, managing director. ‘It will be staged next to our new roll-to-roll UV LED ValueJet 1638UR printer model which will also be presented for the first time in Berlin next week. With the addition of these two new products, Mutoh will be able to offer a complete portfolio of UV LED printers ranging from desktop object flatbed printers to wide format hybrid, roll-to-roll and true flatbed solutions.’
