EFI and Mutoh announced that Mutoh has named EFI-Inkware as the manufacturer and supplier of MUBIO inks to Mutoh worldwide. MUBIO inks are a low viscosity version of EFI-Inkware’s BioWare inks and are the only inks to be recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) “Design for Environment” program and authorized to display the EPA “Design for Environment” logo.
“We are delighted to be working with EFI-Inkware to bring true biofriendly printing to Mutoh customers,” said Randy Rickert, Mutoh’s general manager. “MUBIO inks are composed of 80 percent plant-derived substances (corn), contain no harmful VOCs, and with the low viscosity version we are bringing faster drying times to markets. This will be a major benefit to our customers as they leverage the ValueJet 1608 Hybrid printers for business growth and a reduced environmental footprint. Since initially rolling out the program, we have installed several ValueJet 1608 Hybrid printers a month using MUBIO inks and have received rave customer reviews.”
MUBIO inks and the ValueJet Hybrid printers were jointly developed by EFI-Inkware and Mutoh to ensure maximum efficiency, quality and range of output. The ValueJet 1608 Hybrid prints directly onto corrugated plastics, polystyrene, PVC, acrylic, polycarbonate, Xanita board, BioFlex biodegradable vinyl, foam board, aluminum composite, banner material, wall coverings and more.
