Mutoh  Rockhopper 3 Extreme 90

Mutoh Rockhopper 3 Extreme 90

The Rockhopper 3 Extreme offers you the highest application versatility by combining the outdoor benefits of solvent printers with the detail and colour of indoor printers.

Propelled by the latest generation Eco Ultra inks, the Rockhopper 3 Extreme appeals to graphic and sign professionals creating outdoor durable signs including POP-displays, fleet and window graphics, publicity banners and more. 

The Rockhopper 3 Extreme is the preferred choice for indoor poster printing applications, photo realistic prints, tradeshow graphics and other quality indoor graphics.

The economic, fast-drying, Eco Ultra inks offer sparkling colours with high-detail drop fixation and allow you to print directly onto a wide range of low-cost uncoated and coated materials.

Features & Benefits

  • Print directly onto low-cost uncoated and coated materials
  • Sparkling colours, optimal image sharpness and drying time
  • Up to 3 years outdoor durability without lamination
  • Low cost of ownership and low ink consumption
  • No need for air purification units
  • Worry-free operation and maintenance
  • Standard 100 kg fully motorised unwinding / winding system

Indoor quality and outdoor durability

The Rockhopper 3 Extreme combines the best of both worlds; perfectly fit for creating outdoor durable signs and the preferred candidate for quality photo realistic indoor prints.

The new Eco Ultra inks increase scratch and chemical resistance, and endure UV and weather influences up to 3 years, without lamination.

Quality and performance

  • Four 360 nozzle piezo-electric drop-on-demand high-performance inkjet heads with Dynamic Variable Dot.
  • Producing finer detail and smoother transitions in the highlights and crisp colours in the mid-tones and shadows.
  • Excellent drying and drop fixation characteristics of the new Eco Ultra inks.
  • Four built-in, digitally controlled heating elements, eliminate the need for an additional dryer.
  • The heavy-duty media feed and take-up system with rear and front tensioning bars optimizes media transport for rolls up to 100 kg.

High-margin, low-cost solution

The new Eco Ultra inks have been specifically developed for the Rockhopper 3 Extreme's piezo print heads and as a result, ink consumption and print production costs are significantly reduced.

Profit margins can be further improved using low-cost uncoated and coated materials, including materials with standard paper or clay coated backing.

Sparkling colours and high-detail

The fast-drying Eco Ultra inks produce highly saturated, sparkling colours with a wide colour gamut and deep, detailed skin tones and shadow areas.

The Dynamic Variable Dot Technology optimises image sharpness and drying time while significantly reducing overall ink-consumption.

Worry-free maintenance

No need to worry about prolonged start-ups and aggravating cleaning cycles. The Rockhopper 3 Extreme printer requires no daily cleaning and can be easily switched off for long periods without the need for special procedures when starting up again.

The Rockhopper 3 Extreme printer comes supplied with a six-month user maintenance kit containing all necessary parts to perform periodical maintenance and keep the printer in an ideal condition.

Shop friendly and easy-to-use

The use of Eco Ultra inks eliminate the need for expensive air purification, which makes the Rockhopper 3 Extreme printers the ideal candidates for office environments.

The Rockhopper 3 Extreme printers are immediately ready for printing and require no special procedures when starting up or shutting down.

The scroller-free media loading and motorised media feed and take-up system allows easy switching between different media rolls up to 100 kg. Ink cartridges can be easily changed during print production.
