Mutoh Europe’s new UH71 ink is designed for applications including customised goods, novelty items, industrial parts, promotional products, retail displays and signage, and offers compatibility with substrates such as PET, PC, ABS, PS, PVC, PMMA and aluminium.
It has been developed for the XpertJet 1462UF to deliver durable, high-quality output. UH71 will subsequently also become available for the XpertJet 461UF and XpertJet 661UF, further expanding Mutoh’s rigid-type LED-UV offering across its flatbed range.
UH71 combines strong adhesion, high durability, chemical resistance, low odour and tack-free output, supporting reliable production of both decorative and functional print applications. The ink set also includes a highly transparent clear ink, enabling premium varnish effects as well as applications such as Braille and raised print.
A key part of the UH71 positioning is its formulation. The ink has been developed without the use of TPO (a compound commonly added as a photo-initiator to cure UV inks), without substances classified as SVHCs (Substances of Very High Concern), and without substances classified as CMR Category 1 (1A or 1B) (refers to substances that are carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reprotoxic), reflecting Mutoh’s focus on product development that balances print performance with increased attention to workplace and environmental considerations. UH71 is also UL GREENGUARD Gold certified.
With the addition of UH71, Mutoh further broadens its LED-UV ink range. Together with the existing US61 LED-UV ink, the new rigid-type formulation gives users a clearer choice between ink types optimised for rigid and flexible application needs.
