Mutoh’s blizzard series printers print directly onto standard available uncoated vinyl, banner and soft signage. The machines are targeted at small sign businesses wanting to extend capacity while gaining flexibility. Application possibilities encompass corporate signs, stage and window graphics, backlit box signage, construction announcements, vehicle graphics, indoor graphics such as photo blow ups, and floor graphics. The printers feature a completely innovative look: a high end LCD display with blue background and white text and a large viewing window providing an excellent view on the output. The integrated light source allows for production monitoring and facilitates maintenance operations.

The blizzard utilizes Mutoh’s high-performance mild-solvent ink, specifically tuned for the sign industry. The ink will resist cleaners, detergents and commericial degreasers as good as true solvent printer inks while still offering an outdoor durability on compatible media up to 3 years without lamination. For heavy duty applications where mechanical stress is involved (floor & vehicle graphics), lamination is required. The Mutoh mild-solvent inks are available in 220 ml and 440 ml cassettes. The blizzard printers also accept Mutoh’s award-winning Eco-Solvent Ultra inks, for users wanting to use the printer in regular office environments without forced ventilation.

The blizzard features two head sets in a micro-staggered layout (one color per head), allowing both speed oriented production work and top quality print work simultaneously. Each of the eight incorporated drop-on-demand piezo inkjet heads has 2 x 180 nozzles. Each 180 nozzle row is delivered by an independent ink channel. Using Dynamic Variable Dot Imaging Technology, each ink droplet is individually adjusted to provide high speed and high quality with low ink consumption. Each head allows print resolutions of 360 x 360 dpi, 720 x 360 dpi, 540 x 720 dpi and 720 x 720 dpi.

The new printers incorporate Mutoh’s Intelligent Interweaving print technology (I² - pronounced I-squared). The Intelligent Interweaving print technology enables a constant print quality, which apart from that is easily reproducible by the machine operator. Moreover, i² defines guaranteed output quality, away from print passes and print resolutions.
