Mutoh previews A1+ flatbed UV DTO printer at FESPA 2023 Munich

Mutoh has shown off its new small-format XpertJet 1462UF flatbed printer at FESPA 2023 Munich. Like its siblings, the XPJ 661 and 461UF models, the new Mutoh flatbed is mainly aimed at the industrial print market. This represents an expansion of Mutoh’s existing range of A2+ and A3+ table top printers and has a bed of 1470 x 740 mm, which roughly equates to A1+ size. It’s fitted with two piezo-electric printheads mounted in a staggered formation, which allows for bi-directional printing to maintain the print speed.

The printheads of the newly launched new small-format XpertJet 1462UF flatbed printer have four colour channels with the first head printing CMYK followed by the second that lays down white and varnish. The varnish can be built up to create textured effects as well as for printing braille characters. The maximum resolution is 1440 x 1440 dpi. As a rough guide, it can print 81 iPhone 14 cases on one bed, and can do this in 15 minutes.
