64” roll-to-roll printer offering innovative multi-layer capabilities and future-proof health-conscious inks
MUTOH Europe nv, the EMEA headquarters of MUTOH INDUSTRIES LTD., Japan, today announced the release of the XpertJet 1682UR. Previewed at Drupa 2024, the XpertJet 1682UR is a 64” (1625 mm) wide, dual-head, dual-lamp, 6-colour UV LED printer (CMYK, White, and Varnish inks) built on Mutoh’s latest XpertJet printer platform.
Designed to meet the evolving needs of businesses in the signage and decorative graphics sectors, this new model delivers superior productivity (up to 27.3 m²/h), innovative multi-layer printing and future-proof, health-conscious ink technology.
The XpertJet 1682UR is ideal for a wide range of applications, including in-store decoration, wall decor graphics, POP & retail displays, floor and window prints, fine art and more. Offering resolutions up to 1440 x 1440 dpi and powered by MUTOH’s VerteLith RIP software, it prints on white, transparent and non-white materials, high gloss film in gold and silver, fluo paper and more.
The machine can be equipped with a standard 30 kg motorized take-up system with start/stop linked to the printing or a larger capacity 40 kg take-up, ideal for overnight full roll printing.
Safe & Future-Proof Inks
The US61 ink used by the XpertJet 1682UR addresses health and safety concerns by being SVHC and CMR free, complying with current and near-future EU environmental regulations. The inks are also GREENGUARD Gold certified. This ensures a safe and eco-friendly option for both operators and print buyers. They offer excellent abrasion and scratch resistance, with up to 200 % elongation possibilities for enhanced flexibility.
Innovative Multi-Layer Printing
A standout feature of the XPJ-1682UR is its ability to print up to five layers in a single pass, with no need to pull back the media, eliminating risks of misalignment. This capability enhances creative possibilities for special applications such as double-sided designs on transparent media, backlit/frontlit combi graphics, gloss or matte finishes and more.
High Level of User Comfort
The XPJ-1682UR offers unrivalled user assistance to save time and reduce waste. Features like DropMaster automate bi-directional alignment, while FeedMaster adjusts media feed automatically. Media Tracker manages media roll length through barcode printing and scanning. Nozzle Area Select allows users to disable specific nozzle areas on the print head, ensuring uninterrupted printing.
The new XpertJet 1682UR will be available in the EMEA business area from mid November through MUTOH’s network of certified distributors and partners.
