Mutoh is targeting the market for digital transfer decoration and fashion with a new entry-level model for its wide-format dye-sub printer line-up.
The four-colour ValueJet 1604WX is a single-head 1,620mm-wide dye-sublimation printer billed by the company as “budget friendly”. The printer is targeted at start-ups and companies looking to step up to a wider machine to broaden their product range.
The ValueJet is ideally suited to small and medium-sized businesses wanting to get into dye-sub work and it runs at over 20sqm per hour. The typical market is for those wishing to extend their activities to soft signage for printing on to dye-sub paper and transfer to polyester fabrics, or for printing direct on to ‘closed’ polyester fabrics. The VJ-1604WX could also help businesses with transfer to pre-coated objects such as snowboards, mugs and promotional items and gadgets. Another target audience is companies currently already into dye-sublimation printing who have a smaller-sized unit but want to widen their scope.
