Dye-sublimation transfer ink to be paired with Mutoh original "DH 21" ink, that the company says “provides superior media transfer and achieves high density colours with less ink consumption.” It says the fast ink drying enables printings on thinner/lighter transfer papers, along with jetting performance and colour stability, for “high-quality” output.

The XpertJet 1341WR Pro is aimed at producing trade show graphics, flags, banners, custom interior design, apparel, custom merchandise.

The XpertJet Pro series combines the newly developed AccuFine print head and the new print effect i-screen. Mutoh says the AccuFine extra wide and high-density piezo print head, delivers ink drop placement accuracy, achieves both high-speed printing and high image quality.

According to Mutoh, even at high speed, the AccuFine can produce high-quality solid printing with less banding.

By arranging the dots in a way that takes into account how they look, this reduces banding for smoother print images.
