Features
The Printer’s Heart Beats Quality
A staggered dual head setup with latest generation variable drop piezo print heads is at the heart of the VJ-1938TX’s stunning performance. Each 1440-nozzle head (8 lines of 180 nozzles) incorporates four colour sections, divided in two nozzle rows with 360 nozzles per colour.
The integrated print heads are capable of producing ink drops ranging from 3.3 pl to 45.3 pl. Bottom line, they can produce a wider range of ink dots, which are moreover jetted at a much faster speed compared to other print heads on the market. The result is faster output speeds and moreover a much better print quality at higher output speeds.
Worry-Free Fabric Handling
The VJ-1938TX comes standard with a motorised unwinder/winder system. Perfect fabric transport is ensured by a sensor driven front and back tensioning system, allowing perfect roll preparation for after treatment on a calendar, fixation unit, wash or even steam unit, depending on the chosen ink chemistry. To handle different roll widths, the front and back core fixation flanges can be quickly and easily slid into position.
Thanks to the head height range between 2.5 mm and 6 mm, the operator can load both short and long fibre fabrics, without having to worry about print head perturbation. A textile tensioning cylinder close to the print zone ensures that the fabric is kept under equal tension over the full printer width during printing

The ValueCut 1800’s pinch roll – grit roll tandems will give you perfect media tracking. Delicate media and preprinted signs for contour cutting jobs can also be perfectly accommodated and will be safeguarded from pressure roll marks since the pressure rolls can be individually disabled.
Perfect cutting quality under the most severe conditions
To handle all industry’s sign cutting materials with excellence, a complete set of high quality cutting blades is available, tuned to give you perfect cuts and easy weeding. Thanks to the incorporated innovative tangential simulation mode you also can make miniature letterings, intricate graphics shapes and obtain perfect quality in thick materials.
All-in Solution
The ValueCut 1800 cutting plotter is standard delivered with: roll media mount system, blade holder, oily ball-point holder, knife, safe blade, cutting mat & FlexiSTARTER™ 10 software.
In-the-box starter software solution
The ValueCut comes with a Mutoh proprietary version of SAI’s FlexiStarter™ 10. It is a complete text and graphics layout program running on the Windows platform Win7 64-bit. FlexiStarter™ allows you to do cutting and designing simultaneously.
For optimum efficiency, design and production can even be spread over 2 different workstations in your network. No threshold fear if you are an expert in SignLab™, Adobe®, CorelDraw or another popular package.
Your life will be made easy by the “Workspace Control” feature, which will make Flexi look and feel like the packages you are familiar with. You will be impressed by the multitude and the power of the import and export filters. The export functionality will allow you to prepare designs for output with any printer-RIP combination in your workshop and still yield perfect contour cutting.
FlexiStarter™ is no “blind alley software”. Upgrades to higher levels of the Flexi FAMILY are available for you, now and in the future.

The Osprey 130 incorporates six 256 nozzle Spectra® industrial strength drop-on-demand print heads, specifically developed for true solvent-based ink applications. Available resolutions are 180 dpi, 360 dpi and 720 dpi.
High Speed Solvent Inks
Depending on the required outdoor durability, the user can choose between 2 ink types. Both solvent-based inks offer the possibility to print directly onto standard uncoated PVC and banner materials. The inks offer a wide colour gamut and will make your prints look brilliant and bright. Moreover, production costs are extremely low !
The high speed solvent-based double density inks (C, M, Y, K, Lc, Lm) dry quickly, resulting in higher printing speeds. The inks are delivered in 3.25 liter bottles per colour. Because solvent-based double densityinks are waterproof and highly abrasion and UV resistant, printed images can last outdoors for up to 5 years*, without lamination**, even on low cost materials.
The affordable solvent-based Value inks (C, M, Y, K, Lc, Lm) are delivered in 3 liter bottles per colour. Solvent-based Valueinks are waterproof and highly abrasion and UV resistant. Printed images can last outdoors for up to 3 years*, without lamination**, even on low cost materials.
* : Based on accelerated weather tests. Northern European Standards.
** : For heavy-duty applications where mechanical stress is involved (floor & vehicle graphics), media manufacturers will always recommend lamination. Prior to lamination, stabilisation time is required.
Stunning Performance
The Osprey 130 printer offers you a wide range of print modes and speeds. The overview below lists the most popular ones.
Quality – 360 dpi, 2 pass: 11.5 m²/h – 22.5 m²/h
Production – 360 dpi, 1 pass: 45.0 m²/h
Billboard – 180 dpi, 1 pass: 90.0 m²/h
The Osprey 130 also supports an electronically addressable 720 dpi high density mode, an excellent tool to print onto substrates requiring abnormally high ink loads (5.9 m²/h).
Media Versatility
The incorporated RIP controlled head height adjustment feature (adustable in 0.5 mm steps from 2.5 up to 4.5 mm) allows a wide media compatibility. Coated pressure rollers with variable down-pressure allow loading of a wide range of uncoated PVC and banner materials (thickness up to 1 mm).
The incorporated fully motorised heavy-duty media unwinding/winding system, capable of handling loads up to 140 kg, allows unattended printing and makes sure the Osprey is ready to handle volume production.
Media Acclimatisation
The Osprey has two incorporated heating elements, one for media acclimatisation before printing and the other one for post-conditioning of prints, making it possible to reach higher printing speeds and allowing efficient drying and high print quality.
Maintenance-friendly
No special cleaning cycles are required. Powering off the printer is done in a minute: wet a sponge per print head, put it in the capping station and just close the capping station. As a result, ink can stay overnight in the print heads. Moreover, the next morning your Osprey printer is immediately ready for volume printing.
Bulk Ink System
Inks are stored in six 2000 ml bulk ink bottles, allowing long autonomy and unattended printing. The bottles are stored in the Osprey’s extendable ink tray system which is fully integrated inside the machine’s body. This will allow the user to refill bottles neatly and conveniently, even whilst printing.
