Belgium-based wide-format inkjet printer and sign cutting plotter manufacturer Mutoh Europe has started shipping its latest eco printer family, called the Rockhopper 3 series. This eco-solvent printer series succeeds Mutoh's award-winning Rockhopper II Eco-Solvent Plus inkjet printer series.
Rockhopper 3 is offered in two different models, 65" (1,653 mm) and 90" (2,280 mm). Printing widths are respectively 1,643 mm (64.68") and 2,250 mm (88.58"). Targeted at starting and established small to mid-range sign shops with mid-volume sign production applications, the Rockhopper 3 prints directly onto (eco-) coated and a wide range of uncoated vinyl and banner materials. Thanks to the excellent drying and drop fixation characteristics of the new Eco-Solvent Ultra inks, all compatible uncoated self-adhesive PVC are printable at 6.5 m2h at 720 dpi.
Rockhopper 3 printers have been specifically tuned for use with Mutoh's third generation of ecosolvent inks, called Eco-Solvent Ultra. Developed for the Mutoh Rockhopper Piezo inkjet heads, the new Eco-Solvent Ultra inks will enable an even better output quality and media compatibility as well as an enhanced speed performance compared to the Eco-Solvent Plus inks.
