MUTOH releases two new Braille-enabled UV printers

MUTOH has announced the availability of two all-new benchtop UV printers, both with unique Braille and raised effect capability. The newly unpacked XPJ-461UF and the XPJ-661UF printers offer many new features including a new sleek design along with an expanded print area of up to 483 x 594mm on the XPJ-661UF. Both the XPJ-461 and the XPJ-661 include MUTOH’s innovative and unique UV- LED Lamp ‘Local Dimming Control Technology’ which produces glossy, semi-glossy and matte varnish printing in a single pass simultaneously with colors and/or white printing. This is achieved by using a 2 inch LED-UV lamp with six zones that can be individually turned on and off.

XPJ-461UF is a lower-investment cost A3 printer with the same advantages as its A2+ sibling. Both the printers can print thicknesses up to 15cm and can be set as either CMYK or CMYK + White + Varnish. The varnish inks create unique special effects and embossing, while the white ink allows for easy printing on dark materials. High-quality ADA-approved braille can be achieved using either colours or varnish, or both for the fastest high-build available.
