i²

Thanks to MUTOHs revolutionary i² technology,

it is possible to obtain impeccable printing

quality even for the most difficult images.

Nevertheless, for less critical files, acceptable printing quality can be obtained with straight
line printing at higher speeds (a maximum of 81 m²/h).

Applicability of higher modes needs to be judged on individual basis.

Also thanks to i², annoying printing artefacts as shown below are solved.

Notes

Please refer to the in-the-box document to know everything about the new i² technology.
