Sign Wise UK has bought a Mutoh ValueJet 1624 from Colourgen reseller Random Choice Solutions. The new machine will work hand in hand with Sign Wise’s existing Mutoh printer, which it bought 15 years ago.
The new printer has enabled Sign Wise, which is virtually trade only, to take on extra work and provide faster turnaround. The company now has nine wide-format printers and owner and managing director, Gerry Poulton, said: “The business has been steadily growing this year and we have always found the Mutoh to be a useful printer. The theory was that we could run one job across two printers simultaneously. Of course, the reality was that the inks were different on the two printers due to the changes in ink formulations over the past 15 years. But it still means we have two excellent printers and we couldn’t function anywhere near as well without the ValueJet now.”
The four-colour ValueJet 1624 64in-wide printer runs at up to up to 29m²/h and is targeted at the production of long term indoor and outdoor applications with Mutoh Eco Ultra ink.
