The XPJ-1341SR Pro is the successor to the popular ValueJet 1324X and is updated with the latest in Mutoh technologies and hardware. The AccuFine print head achieves best-in-class dot placement and accuracy with increased nozzle row length for higher productivity, while i-screen technology reduces banding to create smoother print images and optimizes the capabilities of the AccuFine print head. This Eco-Solvent printer features MUTOH’s new VerteLith RIP software, which includes Mutoh Clear Tone and CMYK technologies, two preview functions and auto-generation of named Pantone spot colors.
“The new Mutoh XpertJet 1341SR Pro and 1641 Pro are the ultimate mid-size Eco-Solvent printers,” explains Tony Simmering, Mutoh America Product Manager. “Building on the success of the ValueJet 1324X, our new 54” model brings many of the advanced capabilities available in our larger printers to a smaller, space-conscious package, while the 64" 1641 Pro provides outstanding wider quality at blazingly fast speeds.”
Other key features shared by the new XPJ-1341SR Pro and XPJ-1641 Pro include:
- DropMaster 2, which automatically calibrates bi-directional alignments, saving time and reducing adjustment variations.
- Feed Master, which allows for automatic media feed adjustment to reduce banding in feed direction which occurs when media is out of adjustment. Horizontal banding is eliminated due to automatic adjustments by Feed Master.
- Nozzle Area Select, used with Automatic Nozzle Checking, detects missing nozzles and cleans them to resume operation. If they are not recovered, Nozzle Area Select is performed and printing is resumed with selected active nozzle blocks.
- Media Tracker prints a barcode on the end of the media so the printer can read the barcode and recognize the amount of media remaining on the media roll when it is loaded on the printer at a later date.
- Head-height settings for stable print quality and media management.
- Mutoh Status Monitor remotely checks the printer’s operation status in real time.
- MS31 Eco-Solvent Inks in 220ml cartridges (300ml inkbags on 1641 Pro) or 1,000ml ink bags with optional adapter. This ink is certified UL GREENGUARD Gold and is safe to use in any situation.
