Mutoh Blizzard 90
The Mutoh Blizzard offers impeccable production output quality at speeds up to 40 m²/h, blowing in at a top speed of 80 m²/h. The innovative interwoven “wave” pattern makes the quality unsurpassed.
Mutoh Blizzard high speed, high quality printers benefit from the latest industrial design techniques, combining good looks with outstanding performance. A Mutoh large format Blizzard is the ideal option for the small sign-printer needing versatility or for larger operations wanting to extend capacity while gaining flexibility.
A true top-quality volume performer
Real-time production speeds for commercial prints up to 40 m²/h on uncoated self-adhesive vinyl and banner material, without compromising on image quality and colour vividness.
Wave goodbye to banding thanks to the i² Intelligent Interweave technology
The revolutionary I² printing technique vastly reduces banding as ink is laid down using an innovative interwoven “wave” pattern.
Low-cost uncoated and coated materials
Printing directly on a wide variety of uncoated and coated materials, the Blizzards aim at volume production of outdoor durable signs, POS displays, vehicle graphics and indoor graphics such as photo blow ups and floor graphics.
i² - a revolution in print technology
- Provides impeccable digital printing quality for both Photo and Sign printing.
- Quick and simple to set up. i² saves time and trouble while producing outstanding results.
- Ink is laid down in carefully optimized wave forms, not the straight lines used by all other wide-format inkjet printers.
- i² technology means the end of defects such as horizontal banding, step mismatch banding, ink mottle and bleed and the visible effects of missing or misfiring nozzles.
i² technology benefits
- Impeccable print quality.
- Bi-directional printing of all images, even the most critical jobs, as wave sequences eliminate banding.
- Increased ink density yield as the wave patterns create an even coating with superb image definition.
- Boosted colour gamut, compared with conventional straight-line printing. Dedicated i² profiles will increase the ink density yield, resulting in a boost of colour gamut.
