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.

2in1 UV printer – Limitless possibilities!

Mutoh ValueJet 1638UH Mark II is a highly versatile hybrid UV printer, ideal for sign making companies. It can print at a high quality of up to 1440 × 1440 dpi on almost any flexible roll media or rigid flat material up to 162 cm (64") width and 15 mm thickness. The instant-drying UV LED inks enable multiple layer printing: white underprinting widens the range of media compatibility, including colored or transparent materials, and with a finishing layer of varnish you can create eye-catching surface effects. With its dual, staggered Micro Piezo print heads, you can print at speeds of up to 22.7 m²/h. UV LED technology with low-temperature ink fixation enables printing on heat-sensitive surfaces with low energy consumption. Built-in intelligent functions ensure ease of use and optimized workflow.

Our offer includes original MUTOH UV inks, which are environmentally friendly and safe to use, and got the a Greenguard Gold certificate. In addition to the inks, the printer comes with original MUTOH VerteLith RIP software, which enables you to maximize its capabilities, as well as the our usual Signdepot Full Service.

Roll-to-roll UV printing

Print posters, roll-ups, banners or stickers! With Mutoh ValueJet 1638UH Mark II Hybrid UV printer, you can print on materials up to 1625 mm wide, 150 mm in diameter and 30 kg in weight in roll mode.

The printers's motorized torque controlled take-up system, which is linked to the printer and follows the start and stop of printing, automatizes the printing process thus increases productivity. You can choose from two options: 30 kg take-up system for rolls up to 150 mm diameter or – for printing full rolls at once – 40 kg take-up system for rolls up to 250 mm diameter.

UV printing on rigid materials

To expand your creative possibilities, the printer comes with front and back support tables, which can be easily adjusted and removed, and easy-to move due to their wheels. You could print promotional signs, information boards or even high quality wall decor prints.

In flat mode, you can print on media up to 1625 mm wide, 15 mm thick and weighing up to 15 kg. (The recommended length is at least 200 mm and up to 1200 mm.) Media thickness is measured electronically and the printer automatically adjusts head height accordingly, so you can spare time on manual adjustments.

Dual piezo printhead + dual UV LED lamps

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. ValueJet 1638UH Mark II Hybrid UV printer is equipped with 2 staggered, 1440 nozzle Micro Piezo printheads, which have 8-8 rows, 180 nozzles per row, providing exceptional image quality. Head height is set automatically according to media thickness. Thanks to the Piezo Variable Drop Technology, the ink drop mass ranges from 3.8 picoliters up to 28 picoliters, ensuring perfect coverage and precise ink landing from the thinnest to the thickest materials. Two longlife (7.600 hours) UV LED lamps ensures instant drying. UV LED technology enables printing on heat-sensitive surfaces and low energy consumption due to lower curing heat.

Sharp prints with less set-up

Another unique development from Mutoh is DropMaster technology, which allows you to save significant time by automating printhead adjustment. It recalculates and precisely adjusts uni/bi-directional fire timings based on the material thickness – and consequently the distance between the printhead and the material – regardless of print speed and resolution. This not only saves you time, but also results in sharper, smoother, higher quality prints.

Forget banding, mottling and bleeding!

Maximize your profit: print fast, in an excellent quality with minimal effort! Intelligent Interweaving (i²) technology is Mutoh's revolutionary development, which eliminates the typical errors of inkjet printing by printing a wave pattern instead of traditional, straight line printing.

This unique development found only in Mutoh machines

eliminates banding, mottling and bleeding
creates sharp and vibrant prints
without reducing print speed
while saving ink
and saving you time, since less set-up and attendance is required.

Genuine MUTOH UV LED 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 ValueJet 1638UH Mark II Hybrid UV printer you can pick from two options of UV LED inks to best suit your printing needs. Both types produce high-quality, durable prints for indoor and outdoor use as well.
