Unpacked during the recent drupa 2024, MUTOH HydrAton 1642 roll-to-roll (RTR) printer integrates innovative water-based UV print technology, underlining the company’s ongoing commitment to sustainable practices as well as safer work environments. The new RTR printer represents a new technology segment, featuring revolutionary print/dry technology and a unique ink film formation process on the printed media, collaboratively developed by MUTOH Japan’s large-format printer R&D division and Fujifilm’s AQUAFUZE ink technology team.
The synergy between the HydrAton 1642 and AQUAFUZE ink technology will meet a multitude of market requirements. Featuring two AccuFine piezo drop-on-demand print heads, the HydrAton 1642 can print on a wide array of substrates without the need of a pre-coat primer or optimizer, including paper, synthetic fabrics, technical textiles, heat-sensitive eco-friendly substrates, even PVC. Prints have a very thin ink film, a soft feel and high scratch-resistance.
