Mutoh 1341 sr pro

[Pistonpump 6]

Hi All,

Was wondering if anyone has the Mutoh 1341 sr pro printer.  We had an Epson Surecolor s30675 that recently died and we decided to go to the Mutoh.  Anyone have any feedback on the Mutoh 1341 sr pro?  Good or bad?  We get it setup next week.

 

Thanks,
George

Not likely that anyone who is active here operates that exact printer. It costs around $15,000, which is far outside the average budget for folks who just do some cutting and maybe a bit of printing.

Anyway, you have already decided, so what input are you seeking from us?

You're already a well-versed printing shop, so the principles of running such a machine are known to you.

Our Epson died and we had to buy something quickly.  We went with the Mutoh only because we could get it in our basement easily.  We had to remove a wall to get the Epson down the steps.  We didnt want to have to go thru that again.  Normally we buy equipment after going to a show.  Was just trying to get some feedback on if we made a bad choice.

You needed a replacement, now you have one.

The entire question of "what printer to buy?" has a ton of variables to consider before making an informed answer.

Your variable was -- "It fits into the space" which is a valid reason to get it.

My best advice for any large-format printer owner is to assure a steady flow of work, keeping that sucker running daily, and have a supply of extra inks, because they tend to run out right at the worst time (Murphy's Law).
