The Valuejet 1324X series printer

 

Wide format printer and sign cutting plotter manufacturer Mutoh has announced that it has started shipping the successor models for the VJ-1324 and VJ-2638 sign and display printers. 

Engineered and manufactured in Japan, the two new models are an addition to Mutoh’s existing 64″ wide ValueJet 1624X single head and ValueJet 1638X dual head models. 

The ValueJet 2638X incorporates two print heads mounted in a staggered configuration, whereas the VJ-1324X includes a single print head which is able to produce ink droplets as small as 3.5 up to 35.2 picolitres. Each variable drop print head has eight channels with 180 nozzles per channel comprising four colour sections ready to produce top print quality at high output speeds.

To cope with higher print volumes the ValueJet 2638X is equipped with a heavy-duty motorised unwinder / winder 100 system for media rolls up to 100 kg, whereas a newly designed torque controlled motorised 30 kg take up system is available for the VJ-1324X.

The ValueJet X series printers are targeted at long term outdoor and indoor sign and display applications such as posters, banners, backlit signage, wall coverings, point of sale displays, fine art reproductions, vehicle graphics and stickers.
