Mutoh is a globally recognized manufacturer of professional wide format printers, headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. The company is known for engineering precision, durable build quality, and advanced printhead technology. Many Mutoh printers utilize high-performance Epson printheads, delivering consistent output and long-term reliability for commercial print environments.
Mutoh printers are designed and manufactured in Japan. The company’s headquarters are located in Tokyo, with production facilities including the Suwa Factory in Nagano Prefecture. Japanese manufacturing standards contribute to Mutoh’s reputation for quality and precision engineering.
Water-based UV ink combines water-based formulation with ultraviolet curing technology. Unlike traditional solvent inks that rely on evaporation, water-based UV inks cure instantly under UV light. This process produces durable, scratch-resistant prints with lower odor and reduced environmental impact compared to conventional solvent systems.
Traditional UV inks use 100 percent UV-curable chemistry and often require higher energy curing systems. Water-based UV technology, such as Mutoh’s AQUAFUZE™ ink, reduces VOC emissions and energy consumption while still delivering the durability, adhesion, and fast curing associated with UV printing.
