Also included is Mutoh’s patented Intelligent Interweave Print Technology (i2): Its increased accuracy and consistency of dot-to-dot contact improves the printed images with colors that pop and virtually no banding!

Scan width is a 42” image area, print width is 54” and because it employs the most updated generation of eco-inks, prints last up to 3 years outdoors without lamination.
