Recently the product also won an award as “Best New Product” at the International Sign Expo in the US. We consider this award as recognition for the versatility of our new series of environmentally responsible ValueJet LED UV printers specifically targeted at specialty and industrial short run digital print applications. The prize also underlines Mutoh’s innovation power, craftsmanship and our technological leadership in the field of wide-format piezo inkjet printers”

Offering a print table area of 483 mm (19”) x 329 mm (13”), the VJ-426UF has been designed to enable direct printing onto objects up to 70 mm (2.75”) thick. Mutoh bills it as a multi-purpose printer which will produce ultra-sharp, high quality output and is specifically targeted at short run items or one-off designs of products and their prototypes, personalised gifts, packaging, souvenirs, awards, specialty industrial items as well as labels, decals, signs, etc.
