The new 64” roll-to-roll printer offers multi-layer capabilities and Greenguard Gold certified inks
MUTOH Europe announces the release of the XpertJet 1682UR in the EMEA business area. 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 up to 27.3 m²/h, multi-layer printing and Greenguard Gold certified 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, fluorescent 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.
The US61 ink used by the XpertJet 1682UR is SVHC and CMR free, complying with current and near-future EU environmental regulations. The inks are also Greenguard Gold certified. They also offer excellent abrasion and scratch resistance, with up to 200 % elongation possibilities for enhanced flexibility.
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.
The XPJ-1682UR offers a range user assistance features such as DropMaster to 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.
