Mutoh America Inc. Introduces the ValueJet

Phoenix, Arizona, April 5, 2006 – Today, Mutoh America Inc., a worldwide leader and manufacturer of large format commercial inkjet printers announced the ValueJet Printer for outdoor durable printing applications. Mutoh’s ValueJet is easy to install, operate and maintain and is sized to accommodate the most popular media. The ValueJet provides exceptional image quality and best in class print speeds at a price that is indeed, a value.
The ValueJet’s improved print speeds and exceptional image quality are made possible through a combination of Mutoh’s revolutionary new X-Rail design and new piezo print head technology. The ValueJet has 1440 total nozzles and variable dot technology to produce outdoor durable, photo quality images at resolutions of 360, 540, 720 and 1440 dpi.
The ValueJet piles on the value creating brilliant images using Mutoh’s Eco-Ultra inks, available in 220 ml cartridges, Eco-Ultra inks are Mutoh’s 3rd generation of eco inks, which last up to three years outdoors, without lamination. The ValueJet provides additional productivity without compromising image quality by offering 10 print modes including the new 540x720 dpi mode that is perfect for banners. The ValueJet incorporates a new and exclusive Mutoh printing technique that reduces banding typically associated with bi-directional inkjet printing. The 10 print modes allow for a wide range of printing possibilities on a variety of inexpensive, uncoated media. The ValueJet also has a variety of production speeds to choose from including 60, 80 and 100 square feet per hour at 720 dpi, on media widths up to 51 inches.
            The value keeps building because the ValueJet includes a starter set of Eco-Ultra ink, a Mutoh version of Amiable SE software, and a 1 year on-site warranty.  The ValueJet is priced at $14,995 and is available for shipment beginning in June, 2006. Look to Mutoh for the best quality, price, selection and service. To learn more about the ValueJet, contact an authorized Mutoh dealer or call 1-800-99-MUTOH.
