Many Mutoh printers utilize high-performance Epson printheads, delivering consistent output and long-term reliability for commercial print environments.

What is water-based UV ink?
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.
How does water-based UV differ from traditional UV ink?
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.
