The VJ-1638UR will create instant dry output, ready for application or post-treatment.

Mutoh Europe’s Managing Director, Kenji Yasuhara said, “In the last year we have seen a huge increase in the sales of our UV LED printers. The new VJ-1638UR provides both installed base (eco) solvent users and offset/screen printers an opportunity to expand their current product offering around speciality applications and prints with high added value. The VJ-1638UR offers short-run printing on the widest range of substrates on the market. Users can be able to process not only all typical sign and display substrates but also thin film substrates that are too heat-sensitive for water-based resin or solvent printers. In addition, all types of non-white substrates can be printed including transparent, coloured or black media, metallic, fluorescent paper and more. Mutoh’s clear inks provide the ability to create multi-layer prints and spot varnish effects. In fact, the only limit is the creativity of the users themselves.”
