Mutoh Europe is now selling the XpertJet 1462UF 6-colour (CMYK, White, Varnish) UV LED flatbed direct-to-object printer previewed at Fespa Global in the spring.

The moving gantry printer has a table size of 1,420mm x 700mm and can print onto objects up to 15cm thick. The print table has a four zone vacuum bed, supporting weights up to 50kg/m². There are two printheads and two new extra wide UV lamps.

Stephan Heintjens, product marketing and product application manager for Mutoh Europe, said: “Feedback on our new printer from the prelaunch at Fespa has been very positive. We are extremely excited about this printer and are delighted to make it available to the Europe, Middle East and Africa markets. Having this new XpertJet 1462UF printer means that Mutoh now offers a complete direct-to-object range covering small format as well as the new bigger format, which is a perfect match for the popular 70×100 cm screenprinting format.”   

He added: “The XpertJet 1462UF has two printheads on board, mounted in a staggered set-up, and two brand new 4in multi-segmented UV LED curing lamps. This setup enables us to produce two-layer prints in one pass at double the speed of printers having only one printhead and curing lamp. The print table with integrated 4 zone vacuum table has holes to fix jigs, allowing great flexibility in media selection. The printer is powered by our VerteLith Rip software”.
