Colourgen will be showcasing the latest Mutoh ValueJet wide-format printers for commercial print, signage, print-to-cut and dye sublimation applications on stand G80 at Sign & Digital UK 2014.

Mutoh's new ValueJet 1638X will premiere at the event.  Targeted at long term outdoor and indoor sign and display applications, the printer integrates a newly developed mainboard allowing faster data communication and data processing as well as advanced print automation features thanks to Mutoh’s award-winning Intelligent Interweaving and the new DropMaster technology.

The 1638X is specifically targeted at volume users who at the same time put consistent high quality and high image definition at  the top of their wish list.  ValueJet 1638X’s production print speeds start at 10 m2/h at 1080x1440 dpi and go up to 15, 20, 29 and 36 m2/h, the latter still at 720x720 dpi.

The ValueJet 1638X can be configured with Mutoh Eco Ultra inks, available in 220 ml and 440 ml cassettes, as well as Mutoh Universal Mild Solvent - UMS - available in 440 ml cassettes and litre bottles, for use with Mutoh’s bulk ink system.

Sign UK visitors will also be able to see the popular 64” wide ValueJet 1624 high quality printer for durable graphics, the ValueCut drag knife cutter designed for home, office and professional users and Mutoh’s ValueJet 1624W dye sublimation printer suited for the production of soft signage, apparel and gadgets.

Colourgen will also be highlighting Mutoh's 4th generation mild solvent inks at the show.  Branded Mutoh UMS (Universal Mild Solvent), these inks have been developed specifically for Mutoh’s roll-to-roll sign & display printer portfolio.  Available in bulk 1 litre bottles & 440 ml cassettes, they offer compatibility with both installed-base Mutoh mild solvent printers as well as Mutoh’s ValueJet series outdoor sign & display printers.

The UMS inks offer an outdoor UV resistance of up to three years without lamination.  They are virtually odour-free and do not require any forced ventilation.  They have an unrivalled colour gamut and a unique gloss preservation.  The inks cover 83 % of the Pantone C? colour chart.  The inks are fixed and dried at regular heating temperatures and are suited for both high quality and high speed printing.
