Announcing the Viper, Mutoh’s New Digital Transfer Printer

Mutoh’s new Viper provides dependable digital transfer printing at print speeds up to 400 square feet per hour and true image quality print resolutions up to 1440 dots per inch (dpi). Tuned media handling & accurate tracking for thin transfer paper combined with Mutoh’s brilliant dye sublimation inks allow the Viper the versatility for printing soft signage, sports apparel, casino gaming tables, etc. The Viper is available in widths of 64- and 87-inches and has a standard heavy-duty feed and take-up system.

Mutoh includes a set of starter ink, installation and one-year on-site warranty service with all Viper models. The price for the Viper is $39,995 for the 64-inch and $44,995 for the 87-inch. The Viper is available for delivery in mid November 2004.

50% Capital Bonus
Depreciation program

Imagine leasing a true solvent, industrial quality, Mutoh Toucan printer for the price of the competitor’s commercial, light solvent printers…

Take advantage of the 50% capital bonus depreciation tax credit before time runs out!

Mutoh customers can lease a true solvent, industrial Toucan printer & can take advantage of the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. This Act includes a powerful new 50% bonus depreciation provision for printing, publishing and converting machinery and other capital equipment, among other pro-growth provisions.

See what industrial printing can be like with a Mutoh Toucan printer - $0.12/square foot ink costs, double the production speeds of the commercial competitor and true solvent versus light solvent inks.

Example: Joe’s Sign Shop would like to purchase a Toucan 64” printer. They qualify for a $1.00 buy-out lease through ProCapital Corporation. With the benefit of the bonus depreciation, the MSRP price of $74,995 will be reduced 50% or $37,497.50. Joe will also qualify for the standard tax depreciation and assuming he is in the 30% tax bracket, the Toucan printer now costs Joe approximately $26,248.

Don’t miss the opportunity to purchase a true solvent industrial grade printer for a comparable price to the competition’s light solvent, commercial printer.

Falcon II Outdoor with Heavy Duty Feed/Take-up System

The powerful, new, Falcon II Outdoor Heavy Duty printer is designed to accommodate larger, heavier rolls of media, saving time and money. Falcon II Outdoor HD users can now take advantage of best-in-class media handling for rolls of media up to 200 lbs. Current Mutoh customers can also retrofit the motorized heavy-duty feed and take-up system to their existing Falcon II Outdoor printers. Mutoh’s extensive experience with the Toucan commercial class printers has contributed to the design of the HD’s media handling system resulting in worry-free unattended printing, decreased downtime changing roll media and a material cost savings by purchasing longer rolls.

The Falcon II Outdoor HD, priced at $31,995, is available for immediate shipment. The optional heavy-duty media handling system is priced at $4,995, plus installation.
