Mutoh expands eco solvent roll to roll offer in Europe with XpertJet 1681SR Pro

Print Solutions

Mutoh Europe has announced the European introduction of the XpertJet 1681SR Pro, a next generation 64” (1625 mm) eco solvent roll to roll printer developed for professional sign and display production requiring consistent image quality, reliable operation and versatile day to day productivity.

At the heart of the printer is the AccuFine HD Pro printhead – a single head piezo system with 3200 nozzles across eight channels – engineered for accurate droplet placement and detailed image reproduction. Combined with Mutoh’s latest i-screen technology (i-Screen EX), the XpertJet 1681SR Pro is designed to support smoother gradations, controlled solid areas and stable output over extended production runs.

In Europe, the 1681SR Pro is supplied with  genuine MS51 eco solvent inks in an eight colour configuration: CMYK + light cyan + light magenta + orange + red. The addition of orange and red strengthens warm colour expression and red reproduction, supporting more accurate brand colours and higher impact graphics, while light inks help to deliver refined tonal transitions with reduced graininess – particularly beneficial for retail graphics, high end signage and vehicle and fleet applications.

MS51 inks are positioned for both indoor and outdoor applications and include UL Greenguard Gold certification, with additional recognised low emission references used in the European market, including AgBB (Germany), A+ (France), Belgium VOC, BREEAM, LEED and M1 (Finland). The MS51 set is GBL free and supplied without CLP/GHS hazard pictograms, supporting an operational environment aligned with modern workplace expectations.

The XpertJet 1681SR Pro is designed to balance quality and throughput, delivering up to 17 m² per hour. A three way heater system and flat type front dryer support stable ink reception and consistent drying. Practical features such as a front access ink system and internal LED lighting (on/off/auto) improve operator usability during set-up and continuous runs.

To help reduce operator intervention and maximise uptime, the platform incorporates Mutoh automation and quality assurance features including DropMaster 2, Feed Master, Media Tracker and Nozzle Area Select.

‘With the XpertJet 1681SR Pro and the MS51 eight colour ink set including orange and red, we are offering European signmakers a practical route to expanded colour capabilities and smooth gradation, supported by relevant low VOC credentials for indoor focused applications,’ said Daniel Morassut, general manager sales and marketing of Mutoh Europe.

The XpertJet 1681SR Pro will be delivered in Europe with Onyx RIPCenter software, offering a robust and accessible RIP workflow for day to day sign and display production. Designed to support efficient job preparation, queue management and repeatable output, Onyx RIPCenter helps print companies maintain consistent colour while simplifying common production tasks – contributing to a smooth and predictable path from file to finished print.
