Mutoh will use next month’s FESPA as the Launchpad for a range of new products.
Receiving its European show debut at Fespa will be the ValueJet 626UF, an A2-size six-colour (CMYK plus white and varnish) direct-to-object LED-UV printer. The company already offers an A3 flatbed LED-UV printer, the ValuJet 426UF, which was launched in 2014.
The 626UF is targeted at short-run personalization of gifts and gadgets, packaging prototypes, awards, specialty or industrial items, labels, decals and signs. A wide variety of solid materials and objects up to a thickness of 150mm can be printed onto with the device, which has a bed size of 594x483mm and offers print resolutions up to 1,440×1, 440dpi. An integrated vacuum bed is also included and the device automatically measures the thickness of the loaded object.
