Key Features of the XpertJet 1462UF Both high productivity and high image quality in bi-directional printing enable faster 2-layer printing.

Two new 4” wide UV LED lamps

Newly developed 4-inch wide UV-LED lamps are placed on both sides of the print head. Combined with "UV-LED local dimming control technology," which individually controls the UVLED lamp irradiation for each segment according to the printing conditions, it achieves optimal ink curing even in bi-directional printing.

Dual print heads in a staggered setup

Staggered dual print heads ensure high productivity. The first head prints CMYK, the second head prints white/varnish, which enable 2-layer printing without speed loss. It is also ideal for braille and 2.5D structure prints. *ADA-compliant Braille printing will be supported in North America.

Highly rigid & high-precision chassis

Highly rigid and precise chassis and adjustment of MUTOH’s high precision aluminum rail mechanism deliver high ink dot placement accuracy. It enables stable and high-quality printing.

Introduced the next-generation UV-LED ink; US61
US61, a newly developed environmentally friendly UV ink is available for the XpertJet 1462UF. The ink complies with the latest chemical substance regulations in the EU, which has strict environmental regulations. In addition, in anticipation of future regulations, it is free of substances classified as CMR Category 1 (1A, 1B)* and SVHC (substance of very high concern). This is a next-generation UV ink that takes into consideration the health of operators and the environment. In addition, it combines “flexibility" and “scratch resistance" at a high level, which have been trade-offs in conventional UV inks, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

*CMR refers to substances that are carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reproductive toxic. Category 1 is classified as substances that are carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reproductive toxic to humans.

The XpertJet 1462UF will be released sequentially in Japan, the U.S., Europe, Australia, and other countries

By introducing the XpertJet 1462UF to the market, MUTOH makes continuous efforts to provide diverse needs of customers, such as increased production capacity, high value-added printing, and replacement of screen printing
