It features Mutoh’s fourth generation Intelligent Interweaving technology, called I-Screen, which has been adapted to work with dual staggered printheads. Mutoh claims that this new Pro version is up to 180 percent faster than the standard version, which is due to the faster printheads.


Since these heads have four color channels each, this allows a choice of configurations with either two sets of CMYK or an eight color inkset of CMYK plus light cyan, light magenta, light black and orange. It uses two of Epson’s I-3200 heads, which are arranged in a staggered configuration. As such, it’s a 1.6m wide eco-solvent printer aimed at the sign and display market.

The XPJ-1682SR-P is a revamped version of the existing XPJ-1682SR, with the main difference being that the Epson printheads have been upgraded to the latest Precision Core versions. Mutoh’s XpertJet 1682SR-Pro is a 1.6m wide eco-solvent printer complete with the latest Epson printheads. Mutoh marked this year’s Fespa show with the introduction of two new printers, XpertJet 1682SR Pro and the XpertJet 1341WR Pro, which almost completes its switch from the old ValueJet brand. Both printers use Mutoh’s AccuFine printheads, which are Epson PrecisionCore I-series heads.
