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 set boosts reds, gamut and detail
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 inks meet strict indoor compliance standards
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-free and supplied without CLP/GHS hazard pictograms, supporting an operational environment aligned with modern workplace expectations.
Up to 17m²/h with automation for consistent uptime
The XpertJet 1681SR Pro is designed to balance quality and throughput, delivering up to
17m²/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.
