Mutoh will use FESPA Digital in Geneva next month to present its new high-performance 2.6 metre wide digital transfer printer, called Viper 100. The new Viper 100 is an addition to Mutoh’s existing Viper 65 (165 cm) and Viper 90 (220 cm) dye sub printers.
The new Viper 100 printer has been designed for the production of a wide range of sublimated graphics and supports dye sublimation transfer paper weights ranging from 70 g/m² to 150 g/m², but will also print directly onto non-stretch polyester fabrics with closed structure. The extended width of 2604 mm (102.52”) enables floor-to-ceiling sublimated graphics production.
The unit utilises 8 high end 360 nozzle piezo print heads and 16 ink channels, offering print resolutions up to 720 x 720 dpi and top speeds of up to 81 m²/h.
The Viper 100 incorporates Mutoh’s award winning Intelligent Interweaving (i²) print technology which reduces or eliminates many of the common problems in inkjet printing, problems such as banding, step mismatch banding and the visible effects of missing or misfiring nozzles.
The new machine uses Mutoh dye sub water based inks and are available in 1 and 5 liter bottles. Viper 100 connects to Mutoh’s 8 bottle optional bulk ink system, offering 4.3 litre ink autonomy per colour.
