—  Mutoh has launched HydrAton 1642, a new 64-inch (1.62m-wide) roll-to-roll printer with water-based UV technology. HydrAton 1642 uses Aquafuze, a UV-curable water-based ink technology developed by Fujifilm. This hybrid ink system combines the benefits of water-based and UV-curable inks, utilising Fujifilm’s proprietary dispersion technology to offer low-VOC, low-odour printing. Aquafuze adheres to a wide range of substrates, including non-porous materials, without the need for primers or adhesion promoters. With a low volatile organic compound (VOC) content of less than 15%, the formulation is designed to minimise emissions. The HydrAton 1642 operates at significantly lower temperatures (30–50°C) compared to conventional industrial latex and water-based resin ink printers.
