Mutoh Europe rolls out hazard-free inks

Mutoh Europe has announced the launch of a new, ‘hazard-free’ sign and display CMYK ink set in the EMEA market.

Available in litre packs and specifically developed for Mutoh’s new AccuFine piezo drop-on-demand print head technology, MS51 series inks do not require health and safety pictograms, while they are also gamma-Butyrolactone (gBL) free.

The manufacturer says the inks are best suited for long-term outdoor and indoor signage applications, while they will initially be available for Mutoh’s XpertJet 1641SR Pro devices.

Mitsuo Takatsu, managing director of Mutoh Europe, comments: “With our MS51 inks, we definitely fulfil the requirements of today’s sign professionals with regards to outdoor and indoor signage applications: wide media compatibility including heat sensitive substrates, superior colour gamut, vibrant prints, unrivalled gloss preservation of prints, three years outdoor UV durability, low odour, excellent abrasion and chemical resistance.

 “The MS51 inks are also future proof. Taking into account the current CLP regulations, they do not require any danger or hazard pictograms and do not contain gBL.

“In addition, our MS51 ink formulation contains a new mix of evaporating liquids which will substantially improve the drying behaviour of the output.”
