Mutoh Partners with PAT Technology
to Provide the Ultimate Pollution
Solution

Mutoh America is partnering with PAT Technology to provide the ultimate pollution solution - the Captivair. Designed exclusively for Mutoh's wide format ink jet printers, regulated airflow through Captivair's unique patented "capture at the source" clear view hood ensures efcient absorption of odors and fumes at the source, while allowing the operator an unobstructed view of the work in progress. By working together, Mutoh and PAT Technology can provide a unique solution that keeps fumes away from operators and creates a more worker friendly environment. The Captivair is available in 64" or 87" and is compatible with the Toucan, Toucan LT, and the Falcon II Outdoor.

Reseller Spotlight

Gregory

With almost 50 years of experience and growth, Gregory, a national distributor of graphics and sign making materials and supplies, recently announced an exciting new partnership with Mutoh America Inc. and Scanvec Amiable. The strategic partnership was announced earlier this month at the ISA 2005 trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada. The new partnership with Mutoh and Scanvec will allow Gregory to expand its product offerings to include digital printing equipment and software. "We began our search for a digital printing manufacturer about a year and half ago," states David Wierengo, Gregory's Chief Operating Officer. "Already equipped with a full service graphics division and established as a supplier of sign making materials and supplies, we felt that this was the only major part of the industry not represented at Gregory."

Customer Spotlight

Purrfect Logos

It was the recommendation of a trusted distributor that sparked Larry Garner and Stan MacDonald's interest in the Mutoh product line. "Our decision to purchase the Mutoh Falcon II Outdoor was predominately due to the advice of our reseller," states Garner, President of Purrfect Logos, Inc., a Washington based sign shop. "After viewing a demo on the Falcon II Outdoor we were extremely impressed by the quality of the output," says Garner. Before purchasing the Falcon II Outdoor, Garner researched other manufacturers on the market, however, he did not feel that any of them matched the value of the Mutoh products. Ultimately, it was the combination of superior output at an affordable price that sold Garner on the Mutoh printer.

Equipped with a heavy duty media feed system, the LT is designed to accommodate 220lbs rolls of media to allow for worry-free unattended or overnight printing. The Toucan LT comes in 64" or 87" widths to accommodate even the largest applications. The LT 64" is priced at $33,995. The LT 87" is priced at $42,995. Both printers include a special edition of Onyx Postershop and a 1-year on-site warranty.

Mutoh America Shines at 2005 ISA Trade Show

The 2005 ISA Trade Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, March 31-April 2 was a tremendous success for Mutoh America! The show began with a record breaking number of attendees, which resulted in an overwhelming rush of people to the Mutoh booth. The colossal foot trafc did not stop for 3 days and resulted in a successful launch of the NEW Toucan LT and tremendous exposure for many other Mutoh products. Along with the LT, Mutoh featured the 64" Falcon II Outdoor, the Toucan Hybrid, the 64" Toucan, the ever popular Falcon Outdoor Junior and the Ultima 850 cutter. Another product that received considerable attention is the XJet, a 1.3 meter (54") solvent inkjet printer. Unfortunately the XJet has not yet been released for sale, but watch the Mutoh newsletter for more information regarding the all new XJet. MutohÍs partners, Charrette, Gregory, Scanvec Amiable, Graphics One, Montroy, Diversied Photo, Intellicoat, Innowave, and R-Tape also featured Mutoh printers in their booths including the Viper, the Falcon II Outdoor, the Toucan LT, and the Falcon Junior. Each partner reports an overwhelming response to the Mutoh products.

Mutoh America hosted a customer appreciation event, at the Ghost Bar on Thursday night, in conjunction with 8 well respected partners: 3M, Avery, PAT Technology, ProCapital, Onyx, NBM, GEI Calgraph, and Spectra. The event gave customers a chance to mingle with Mutoh and company in an entertaining environment, while having resources of knowledge all around them. Besides the fantastic food, drinks, and music, there were raffle drawings for a multitude of free products. The event had a wonderful turnout as over 300 guests enjoyed the view of the Las Vegas skyline from 54 stories high.
