Strategic OEM Alliance with Mutoh America, Inc. for PrismJet™ Piezo Inkjets

Sherman, Texas, August 1, 1999 – Sign Warehouse is pleased to announce a strategic OEM alliance with Mutoh America, Inc. of Phoenix, AZ, a leading innovator in the design and manufacture of large-format graphics printers, to market the PrismJet 720™ piezo inkjet and PrismJet 1440™ piezo inkjet. The PrismJet 720 / 1440 piezo inkjets will be an exclusive Sign Warehouse offering.

Along with the ability to use either dye or pigmented inks, the PrismJet 720 / 1440 piezo inkjets will enable signmakers and graphic designers to print on a variety of media such as adhesive or non-adhesive backed vinyl for signs, cloth for fabric sampling, canvas for fine art reproduction, backlit film, gloss or matte photographic paper. Large (220ml) ink reservoirs, high resolution (up to 1440 dpi) and fast print speed (33" x 46" color poster in 18 minutes at 720 dpi, 9 minutes at 360 dpi) and an automatic ink level/clog detection feature add to its appeal.

These inkjets print faster than the competition, yield incredible output quality and are simply packed with features. The PrismJet 720 and PrismJet 1440 piezo inkjets are a confident entry into the color printing market for Sign Warehouse!" An affordable 6-color hifi piezo is planned as well.
