The Mutoh HydrAton 1642 is a 64-inch (162 cm) roll-to-roll printer offering sustainable and high-quality wide-format printing. Engineered and manufactured in Japan, it features Mutoh’s water-based UV print technology, integrating Fujifilm’s AQUAFUZE™ inks. This combination merges UV LED and water-based inkjet technologies into a single ink formulation. The HydrAton 1642 is designed for businesses seeking versatility and environmental responsibility, capable of printing on a wide array of substrates without the need for primers or optimisers. This includes paper, synthetic fabrics, technical textiles, heat-sensitive eco-friendly materials, and even PVC.
Equipped with two staggered AccuFine HD print heads, the HydrAton 1642 delivers exceptional print quality with precise dot placement, making it ideal for applications requiring fine details and sharp text. The unique print and dry technology, which includes a three-way heater, blower fan, and UV lamp, ensures a very thin, soft-feel ink film that is highly scratch-resistant and durable. The AQUAFUZE™ inks are low-odour, safety compliant, and GREENGUARD Gold certified, making the printer suitable for use in sensitive environments like schools and hospitals. With features such as the DropMaster 2 for automated bi-directional alignment and the FeedMaster for automated media feed correction, the HydrAton 1642 streamlines workflows, reduces waste, and enhances productivity for a variety of applications, from wallpaper and retail décor to indoor signage.
