Mutoh Biojet flatbed solvent ink printer with Vutek BioVu ink.
Vutek had a nice brochure on their BioVu ink, but there was no brochure whatsoever on the Mutoh Biojet flatbed printer that was using this remarkable ink in the Mutoh booth.
We will update this page as we learn more about the BioVu ink and the Mutoh Biojet printer. If it works better than the mis-named Eco-Solvent ink of the 2003, 2004, and 2005 iterations, the BioVu ink looks like a winner.
Key will be: abrasion resistance, adhesion, how it works on cheap uncoated signage materials.
We also discuss this and other new inks in our developing page on the VUTEk UltraVu II 3360 printer.
BioWare ink in the Biojet flatbed printer is potential competition for UV-cured flatbed inkjet printers, mild-solvent flatbed printers such as Mutoh’s own LT Board Printer, and solvent-based inkjet flatbed printers.
Increasingly printshop owners are becoming conscious of the issues of VOCs and other aspects of solvent inks. As a result HP recently announced a new water-based latex ink initiative. Professor Nicholas Hellmuth is being trained by HP for an evaluation of the pros and cons of this novel new ink chemistry. Reports will be issued later this spring and summer when we acquire experience with the new HP latex ink.

Most of our updates for 2008 onward are in FLAAR Reports in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. It is more efficient for us to make new information available in PDF format. So if the web page itself is not updated, check out www.wide-format-printers.NET to see if the printer, RIP, or other subject is covered in an update in a PDF download.
