“The XpertJet 1682WR printer has been developed for high quality graphics for transfer onto all possible types of polyester coated or polyester based rigids, gadgets and flexible materials,” said Mutoh Europe in a statement. “Applications encompass in-store textile displays, personalised interior décor, custom apparel, soft signage, sportswear, customized promotional products, giftware and more.
“Featuring a high level of print production efficiency, the XPJ-1682WR accommodates two gold plated piezo variable drop print heads producing stunning results in 4, 6, 7 or 8 colour ink setups. The piezo print heads are capable of firing drops from 2.8 pl up to 33.9 pl.
“Cleverly designed, the XpertJet 1682WR combines multiple product enhancements which will deliver optimum quality results and an excellent user experience. A newly developed multi-stage pressure roller system will enhance media feed stability for a wide range of sublimation papers. Rolls can be easily installed thanks to a new enhanced roll off system and newly developed media flanges. Continuous printing is made possible with the different motorized take-up systems, for rolls weights up to 30, 40 or 100 kg and roll diametres from 150 to 250 mm.”
The XPJ-1682WR printer integrates Mutoh’s new Media Tracker technology, allowing users to print a barcode on the roll of media in use before it’s removed from the printer. When reloading the same roll of media, the XPJ-1682WR will read the barcode and automatically detect how much media is left on the roll.
Available immediately in Europe and in Aust/NZ next month, this dual-head dye sub printer will suit both startup and established businesses wanting to extend their product portfolio.
