Mutoh Europe has unveiled the XpertJet 1682SR Pro 1.6m twin-head sign and display printer, targeted at long-term outdoor and indoor display and commercial print applications.
The XPJ-1682SR Pro has two AccuFine HD print heads, each with 3200 nozzles, uses a new weaving algorithm and includes Mutoh’s VerteLith Rip software to deliver improved print quality and speed. According to Mutoh, the XPJ-1682SRP is ideally suited for high productivity environments, delivering high quality production speeds of up to 35sqm/h.
The printer uses Mutoh’s new MS51 quick dry CMYK ink set. These inks are said to meet the requirements for indoor and outdoor signage applications, but do not require health and safety pictograms and are also GBL-free, allowing their use for print products in office, home and retail environments. They are claimed to offer the same colour gamut, gloss preservation and weather resistance, abrasion and chemical resistance as existing inks, with UV durability up to three years without lamination. No additional printer maintenance is required to use them.
The 1682SR Pro can be equipped with an optional automated nozzle check unit which will automatically detect missing nozzles, attempt recovery via cleaning and, if needed, automatically activate the Nozzle Area Select feature to continue production, without operator intervention.
The XPJ-1682SR Pro is an addition to Mutoh’s existing XPJ-1341SRP and XPJ-1641SRP single head models released in January 2022.
