Mutoh launches XpertJet 1682WR dye sublimation printer

Mutoh America Inc. has announced the launch of its new 64-inch dye sublimation printer, the XpertJet 1682WR. When paired with Mutoh’s new DH21 dye sublimation ink, the company’s latest wide-format printer provides usability and reduces operational workload which will ensure high-quality prints, high production output and user-friendly operation.

The printer features standard staggered dual head design to provide high quality and print speeds. It is available in four-colour (CMYK) and seven-colour (CMYK, Lc,Lm,Lk) configurations for DH21.

The XpertJet platform includes all new features designed to enhance the user experience, workflow and output quality, including new features to improve transport and printing of thinner papers. The XpertJet was designed to output various types of dye sublimation, including textile, hard surfaces, personalized products, signage and more.

New features of the XpertJet 1682WR include:

• Sleek, modern black cover design featuring easy maintenance access
• Automatic bi-directional alignment with built-in sensor
• Touch panel that only displays keys necessary for desired functions
• Internal LED lighting to easily monitor print status
• LED warning indicators for each ink cartridge slot
• Mutoh Status Monitor (MSM) to check the printer’s operation status in real time. MSM Mobile provides monitoring using a smartphone or tablet
• Media Feed Flange Design allows quick loading of media and exchanging of multiple rolls when flanges have been mounted in advance
• Hi-Torque Media Flange option for thin, lightweight papers
• Pressure Roller System to manually select and engage individual pressure rollers to minimize cockling

“We’ve kept the core components that makes Mutoh dye sub printers strong and reliable while adding new technologies that make the printer easier to use,” said Randy Anderson, product manager for Mutoh.

The XpertJet 1682WR is available now for pre-order through an authorized Mutoh reseller and will start shipping out this month.
