MUTOH: Japanese precision and constant development

Mutoh is one of the world's leading manufacturers of wide-format digital printers and cutting plotters, which are all designed and manufactured exclusively in Japan, from the consumables to the very last screw. With numerous sales points in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, the brand name is now synonymous with stable quality and reliability.

Japanese Mutoh values precision and high quality through craftmanship – in contrast to the accelerated production which results in poor quality typical of Chinese brands. From the engineering design of new products, through the assembly by expert colleagues, to the improvement of existing products, the entire process implements the Japanese Kaizen philosophy, the central idea of ​​which is the pursuit of continuous improvement. The company, founded in 1952, is therefore not stuck in the past: with seventy years of experience behind them, they are constantly working to provide state-of-the-art technological solutions.

Resin: a unique digital print solution

Resin-based inks open a new horizon in printing. It is currently the only digital print solution available that is capable of printing directly onto a wide variety of packaging substrates without primer or pre-coating, such as shrink film, uncoated label stock, corrugated board and many more. This versatility makes it a “Swiss army knife” for graphic studios!

The unique properties of resin ink make it especially fitting for the production of packaging prototypes. It offers the possibility to print onto the exact same material that will be used in the final production run. Unlike UV inks, multi-purpose inks will retain the look and feel as well as other specific physical properties of the target substrates, so the proofs will have the physical feel of the final product. It is not possible to cover these applications with a regular transfer film and water-based inks or eco-solvent inks. This solution will not only allow to print directly on the original substrates, it will also allow the packaging professionals to inspect the exact distortion of the shrink sleeve prototype. This is possible thanks to the unique stretch and shrink possibilities of the ink together with the film.

Top quality Micro Piezo printhead

Mutoh has been integrating piezo printheads since 1999. Due to decades of experience and continuous development, their printheads are now worthy opponents of the most well-known brands. Mutoh ValueJet 628MP resin printer is equipped with an 8 channel, 1440 nozzle Micro Piezo printhead to provide exceptional print quality. ValueJet 628MP model provides 4–8 ink setup modes (CMYK+W+OBG), ensuring enhanced color gamut and extremely accurate colour reproduction. Thanks to the Piezo Variable Drop Technology, the ink drop mass ranges from 3.88 picoliters up to 22 picoliters in case of colors and from 3.91 to 24.7 in case of white printing, ensuring perfect coverage and precise ink landing from the thinnest to the thickest materials.

Genuine MUTOH resin based inks

The key to Mutoh's success is that all development is done in-house, resulting in 100% coordinated systems. This also includes consumables: they have developed dedicated inks tuned to specific piezo heads, covering specific applications to achieve the perfect end results. For Mutoh ValueJet 628MP it is MP31 resin based ink. MP stands for “Multi-Purpose”, which refers to the unique capabilities of the inks and their extreme versatility.
