EFI and Mutoh have announced that Mutoh has named EFI-Inkware as the manufacturer and supplier of MUBIO inks to Mutoh worldwide.
MUBIO inks are a low viscosity version of EFI-Inkware's BioWare inks and are the only inks to be recognised by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) "Design for Environment" program and authorised to display the EPA "Design for Environment" logo.
"We are delighted to be working with EFI-Inkware to bring true biofriendly printing to Mutoh customers," said Russell Bates of Omnitech Graphics, local distributor of Mutoh products in Oceania.
"MUBIO inks are composed of 80% plant-derived substances (corn), contain no harmful VOC's, and with the low viscosity version we are bringing faster drying times to markets. This will be a major benefit to our customers as they leverage the ValueJet 1608 Hybrid printers for business growth and a reduced environmental footprint. Since initially rolling out the program, we have installed several ValueJet 1608 Hybrid printers a month using MUBIO inks and have received rave customer reviews."
MUBIO inks and the ValueJet Hybrid printers were jointly developed by EFI-Inkware and Mutoh to ensure maximum efficiency, quality and range of output. The Mutoh ValueJet 1608 Hybrid easily converts from flatbed to roll-to-roll, and features drop-on-demand Micro Piezo Inkjet Technology. It is a 4-colour printer with a maximum resolution of 1440 dpi, and includes automatic media thickness detection. The ValueJet 1608 Hybrid prints directly onto corrugated plastics, polystyrene, PVC, acrylic, Polycarbonate, Xanita board, BioFlex biodegradable vinyl, foam board, aluminum composite, banner material, wall coverings, and more.
