MANUFACTURER INFORMATION

Mutoh has been at the forefront of the wide format industry for more than 20 years. As an innovative developer and manufacturer of wide-format printers and cutters, Mutoh incorporates pioneering technology to bring you the best equipment for your application. Manufactured in Japan, the range of Mutoh printers features best-in-class inkjet head technology, latest generation electronics and high quality inks.

Mutoh’s drop-on-demand micro piezo inkjet technology features a single 1440 nozzle variable drop piezo inkjet head (CMYK). The print head is configured with 8 lines of 180 nozzles. All four colour sections are in one head, eliminating the need for head to head calibration. The print heads are capable of producing ink drops ranging from 3.4 picoliters to 49.5 picoliters, resulting in accuracy, sharpness, and speed.

Mutoh’s award-winning Intelligent Interweaving, print technology drastically reduces or totally eliminates the typical difficulties inherent to conventional digital inkjet printing, including defects such as horizontal banding, ink mottle, bleed and the visible effects of missing or misfiring nozzles. Ink is laid down in waves, as opposed to straight lines used on most wide format printers. The biggest benefit of this proprietary Mutoh print technology is that it offers predictable and repeatable output quality, bringing an unprecedented level of user comfort to the printer operator.
