New 64″ platform combines smooth gradation, extended warm gamut and long-run stability, backed by low-VOC credentials for indoor applications
Mutoh Europe nv, EMEA business unit of Mutoh Industries Co. Ltd., Japan, announces the European introduction of the XpertJet 1681SR Pro, a next-generation 64″ (1,625 mm) eco-solvent roll-to-roll printer developed for professional sign & display production requiring consistent image quality, reliable operation and versatile day-to-day productivity.
At the heart of the printer is the AccuFine HD Pro print head – a single-head piezo system with 3,200 nozzles across eight channels – engineered for accurate droplet placement and detailed image reproduction. Combined with MUTOH’s latest i-screen technology (i-Screen EX), the XpertJet 1681SR Pro is designed to support smoother gradations, controlled solid areas and stable output over extended production runs.
MS51 8-colour configuration for Europe: CMYK + Lc + Lm + Orange + Red
In Europe, the XpertJet 1681SR Pro is supplied with MUTOH genuine MS51 eco-solvent inks in an 8-colour configuration: CMYK + Light Cyan + Light Magenta + Orange + Red. The addition of Orange and Red strengthens warm colour expression and red reproduction, supporting more accurate brand colours and higher-impact graphics, while light inks help to deliver refined tonal transitions with reduced graininess—particularly beneficial for retail graphics, high-end signage and vehicle & fleet applications.
Low-VOC credentials aligned to indoor print requirements
MS51 inks are positioned for both indoor and outdoor applications and include UL GREENGUARD Gold certification, with additional recognised low-emission references used in the European market, including AgBB (Germany), A+ (France), Belgium VOC, BREEAM, LEED and M1 (Finland). The MS51 set is GBL-freeand supplied without CLP/GHS hazard pictograms, supporting an operational environment aligned with modern workplace expectations.
Productivity and usability designed for production environments
The XpertJet 1681SR Pro is designed to balance quality and throughput, delivering up to 17 m²/h. A 3-way heater system and flat-type front dryer support stable ink reception and consistent drying. Practical features such as a front-access ink system and internal LED lighting (On/Off/Auto) improve operator usability during set-up and continuous runs.
To help reduce operator intervention and maximise uptime, the platform incorporates MUTOH automation and quality-assurance features including DropMaster 2, FEED MASTER, Media Tracker and Nozzle Area Select.
“With the XpertJet 1681SR Pro and the MS51 8-colour ink set including Orange and Red, we are offering European signmakers a practical route to expanded colour capabilities and smooth gradation, supported by relevant low-VOC credentials for indoor-focused applications,” says Daniel Morassut, General Manager Sales & Marketing of MUTOH Europe nv.
The XpertJet 1681SR Pro will be delivered in Europe with ONYX RIPCenter software, offering a robust and accessible RIP workflow for day-to-day sign & display production. Designed to support efficient job preparation, queue management and repeatable output, ONYX RIPCenter helps print providers maintain consistent colour while simplifying common production tasks—contributing to a smooth and predictable path from file to finished print.
