They are particularly suited for printing customised promo gifts and a wide variety of personalised products.

Sign & Display & Print-to-Cut Solutions
Mutoh will be presenting the made-in-Japan professional ValueJet sign & display printer range for indoor and outdoor commercial print and print-to-cut applications, ranging from 24” up to 102” print widths. Ever since 2007, more than 15000 ValueJet printers were installed in Europe only.
Showstoppers will be the award winning 64” wide ValueJet 1624X single head and ValueJet 1638X dual head printers.
Mutoh printer and cutter combo solutions offer the highest level of flexibility for print, cut and print-to-cut applications. The Mutoh print & cut combos offer either a semi-automated or fully automated workflow with barcode recognition, controlled from one single production software. Mutoh cutting plotters - available in widths from 77 cm to 190 cm (30” - 75”) - are fit for vinyl cutting as well as for contour-cut and through-cut applications. They all integrate a laser sensor which will recognise registration marks on preprinted graphics. This way, the cutter will know perfectly in which area it will have to do contour-cutting or through-cutting.
