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.

Hewlett-Packard has now introduced their latex ink technology in a new HP Designjet L65500 printer. FLAAR has already inspected a beta test site in Europe and has been trained on latex ink in Israel a month before. Our preliminary report on the HP latex ink is now available, and a report on the printer will be issued as soon as we can spend inspect an advanced beta unit in the future.
