  Mutoh Falcon II Receives Ph3D Award For Extreme Quality  
       
  “Falcon II Commercial Indoor Printer Raises the Tide Within Motion and 3D Print Quality”  
     
  Mutoh has been recognized with the prestigious Ph3D Award by Flipsigns, The Association for Motion and 3D Printing. The Ph3D Award, which has only been given to three other companies in the last four years, is meant to recognize those individuals or organizations that, through their efforts or product development have truly raised the tides of excellence and capability within Motion and 3D printing. “Purely by its own excellence Mutoh’s Falcon II commercial indoor printers have improved the quality of our industry,” said Thomas Mark, Director of Flipsigns. “Mutoh has evolved as our industry’s standard for outputting 3D graphics, particularly among lenticular artists.” For the complete story, click here.  
       
   
  New ICS Fleet Warranty  
       
  Avery Dennison and Mutoh Combine to Offer Output Warranty on the Toucan Industrial Outdoor Printer

The Avery Dennison Integrated Component System (ICS) warranty insures 5-year durability of fleet graphics when using Avery Denison’s MPI 1005 EZ cast film, Mutoh’s Toucan Industrial Outdoor printer and Mutoh solvent inks. For more information about the ICS Fleet Warranty, click here.
 
     
     
  Close-up On ISIS Fine Art Canvas Media  
       
 

Mutoh’s new ISIS Fine Art Canvas media is a 17 mil. , 80/20 Cotton/Polyester blend that allows for precise stretching without becoming slacken over time. Expect out-of-this-world color while maintaining the richness needed to produce high-end fine art prints. Mutoh works with leading manufacturers that have the capability of tailoring their products to Mutoh’s standard of excellence. The ISIS media line including our feature product, ISIS Fine Art Canvas, are a “step above the rest” in total color gamut capability and supreme performance. Archival longevity was the most important aspect in finding a canvas that would meet Mutoh’s extremely high standards. The total gamut achieved when printing on the Mutoh Falcon II with Mutoh brand pigmented ink and ClearStar coating is superior. For more information click here.
