Mutoh America (Phoenix, Arizona), an industry leader in wide-format inkjet printers and cutters, has released a new heavy-duty feed and take-up system for its roll-to-roll XpertJet printers. The new XpertJet HD Feed and Take-up System can hold rolls up to 220 pounds “which allows roll-to-roll XpertJet customers to run heavy rolls flawlessly through their printers,” said the OEM. The system also comes with adjustable tension bars, as well as adjustable feed and take-up roll holders to ensure that the system is parallel to the printer’s platen – so users who need to run long jobs “can print with confidence knowing that their media will transport through the printer accurately.”

The new system’s features include:
- Accepts inside and outside wound materials
