The Mutoh ValueJet 1614 is designed specifically with starting-out full-colour sign makers in mind. It is a compact
eco-solvent printer that will also appeal to established businesses with water-based inkjet printers looking for an
affordable printer to produce outdoor durable prints, even on uncoated substrates. Excellent quality output means this versatile performer makes a perfect addition for the smaller jobs in an existing wide-format print shop.

Suited to indoor and outdoor applications, the Mutoh ValueJet 1614 produces full-colour posters, banners, backlit panels, POS displays, external notices for buildings, production plants and construction sites as well as adhesive signs and stickers.

Innovative and easy-to-use, the Mutoh ValueJet 1614 uses Eco-Solvent inks, making it suitable for operation in any working environment, plus the i² Intelligent Interweave printing technology produces impeccable prints every time on media up to 1614 mm (63.97”).This CMYK printer can handle 2” and 3” rolls and cut sheet media and incorporates three individually controlled heating elements for media acclimatisation, ink fixation and drying of the prints.

3 Years outdoor. Prints made with Eco-Solvent Ultra inks are UV and water resistant for up to three years outdoors, without lamination. Lamination is recommended for fleet, floor graphics and other applications where prints are exposed to intensive mechanical stress or abrasion.

12 pre-defined print modes. Four print resolutions offered—540 x 720 dpi, 720 x 720 dpi, 1440 x 720 dpi & 1440 x 1440 dpi—and, with starting-out full-colour sign makers in mind, 12 different print modes have been pre-defined. These are in three groups: Quality Mode(1), Graphics Mode(2) and Banner Mode(3). Pre-defined print modes means Mutoh ValueJet 1614 users do not need to choose printing passes, resolutions or other manual settings. Simply activate a predefined mode via the RIP software or directly on the printer’s operation panel.
(1) Typical photographic quality mode (pictures)
(2) Typical “vinyl” production mode (signs)
(3) Typical high speed banner outdoor mode.

Speed performance. 
The Mutoh ValueJet 1614 provides typical production speeds on banner media up to 16 m²/h and up to 8.5 m²/h
on self-adhesive uncoated PVC.

Wide choice of media 
The Mutoh ValueJet 1614 prints onto eco-coated, coated and even uncoated media thanks to the combination of the piezo print head, the characteristics of Eco-Solvent Ultra inks and the three built-in digitally controllable heating
elements. These heating elements control and optimize media acclimatisation, ink fixation and drying of the prints.

Fast return on Investment.
Rapid return on investment is available to beginners as well as skilled operators. The combination of affordable pricing, ease of use with consistent high quality output, flexibility for switching quickly between print jobs and low ink consumption (average 8 ml/m² on uncoated PVC) means the Mutoh ValueJet 1614 will swiftly turn investment into profit.

New generation “wide model” 1440dpi piezo print head
The Mutoh ValueJet 1614 uses the industry’s smallest available droplet size of 3.5 pl, thanks to a new generation piezo drop-on-demand variable drop “wide model” print head. This 1440-nozzle head incorporates four colour sections, each divided in two nozzle rows with 360 nozzles per colour. Because all the colour sections are united in one head, there is no need for time consuming head-to-head calibration procedures. The printer head comes complete with a 12-month warranty.

Eco-Solvent Ultra Ink
Eco-Solvent Ultra inks are based on non-aggressive solvents. As they do not spread any harmful VOCs in the working environment, there is no need for forced ventilation. Eco-Solvent Ultra inks are third generation of eco-inks and feature improved ink fixation, better drying, higher print speeds, and improved scratch resistance. The Mutoh ValueJet 1614 printer is ideally suited to deliver top quality images when printing directly onto a wide range of low-cost standard available uncoated PVC and scrim banner media. Eco-Solvent Ultra inks come in easy-to-use 220 ml ink cassettes.

Media Conditioning / Drying
Mutoh ValueJet 1614 incorporates three heating elements for media acclimatisation, ink fixation and drying of the prints. Heating elements are individually controllable (30 – 50° C).

Incorporated roll media holders
Incorporated roll media holders for non-motorised unwinding of media rolls (2”/3” core) up to a weight of 30 kg – max. media diameter 150 mm.
