They combine with VerteLith, Mutoh’s new genuine RIP software, to create dynamic output, producing the best-possible gradients, skin tones and vivid colors.

| Mutoh's VJ-1638UR MkII roll-to-roll model |
The VJ-1638UH Mark II is a hybrid printer with the capability to print on rigid substrates as well as roll media, while the VJ-1638UR Mark II prints on roll media only. A 30kg take-up system is standard on the VJ-1638UR Mark II. A 40kg take-up system is optional, as is a heavy-duty 100kg take-up. With the VJ-1638UH Mark II hybrid model, motorised take-up for rolls is optional at 30kg or less and for rigid media, 15kg or less.
About VerteLith
VerteLith is included free of charge with VJ-1638UH Mark II and VJ-1638UR Mark II printers. Other Mutoh models will be supported by VerteLith later in the year. It is a powerful RIP workflow and colour management tool
VerteLith includes advanced functions such as MUTOH Clear Tone, an original half-tone technology which achieves beautiful image quality and smoothness. VerteLith also features two enhanced preview functions. The soft proof function simulates the color of the printed output on the screen and the RIP preview function displays the actual printing dots on the screen prior to output. These new functions allow users to enjoy a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) RIP environment.
Current RIP software programs are focused primarily on roll-to-roll large format printers. VerteLith goes beyond that to include several tools which enhance the use of UV-LED flatbed printers. The jig layout tool prints raised varnish outlines to keep objects in place, eliminating the need for custom jigs. VerteLith features auto-layout and print multi-page PDF functions at the click of a button and supports auto-generation of white and varnish inks to create rich, textured prints without complicated steps. Additionally, auto-generation of Pantone coated/uncoated spot colors is a standard, included feature of VerteLith.
Mutoh will maintain partnerships with other third-party RIP vendors to support current applications. By introducing VerteLith, Mutoh addresses the diverse needs and challenges of customers and their need to expand market capabilities.
Pricing and availability is available from Mutoh Australia and its dealer network.
