The new ValueJet 1618 has impeccable print quality with Mutohs Drop-On Demand-Piezo Drive Method. The ValueJet 1618 uses Mutohs Intelligent Interweaving Print Technology (i2); ink is laid down carefully in optimized wave forms, not in straight lines as used in traditional printing practices. This technique allows for increased print speeds and virtually eliminates banding and ink mottle. In addition, you get increased dot gain control, allowing more latitude in profile settings. This product brings you rapid return on investment thanks to a hassle free, versatile performance that saves time and money.
