The DTO (direct to object) market continues to innovate, and these new effects and textures will open up new, higher margin business opportunities for Mutoh VerteLith users.
MUTOH, a leading manufacturer of wide-format inkjet printers, affiliated with MUTOH HOLDINGS CO., LTD. has today announced the release of "Embossed Print Environment (pre-set files)" for MUTOH genuine RIP software VerteLith, and the Texture Library (Adobe® Illustrator file) optimized for embossed printing for users of UV LED flatbed printers, XPJ-461UF and XPJ-661UF. The service is available in MUTOH Club, a website exclusively for MUTOH users.
Embossed printing (thick layered print) with varnish ink on the UV printers can be set up simply by loading the Print Environment (pre-set) into VerteLith. Six different surface texture combinations are available with three varying thickness levels with a gloss finish and three varying thickness levels with a matte finish.
The MUTOH Texture Library, in combination with the Embossed Print Environment, provides texture patterns that are ideal for decorative printing of goods and other items with 2.5D texture, in addition to flat designs.
Simply Load ThePre-Registered Print Environment to Complete Setup
The MUTOH UV LED printers, XPJ-461UF and XPJ-661UF, are equipped with "UV LED Lamp Local Dimming Control Technology" that enables fine adjustment of printed surface texture by controlling UV LED lamp irradiation. In order to achieve a gloss or matte finish, the irradiation parameters of the UV LED lamps must be fine-tuned according to the purpose.
The MUTOH genuine RIP software VerteLith can pre-register complex settings including irradiation parameters as print environments, which can then be exported and imported. MUTOH has now created the Print Environment in which the settings necessary for embossed printing are registered. Users simply download this Print Environment from the MUTOH Club and load it into VerteLith to complete the embossed print settings.
Textured Patterns Ideal for Embossed Print
MUTOH has prepared 100 different texture patterns for embossed prints, which can be used as patterns in Adobe Illustrator. By printing texture of 2.5D on goods and other items, you can add value of not only seeing but also touching them.
