Printwear & Promotion The Total Promotional Package
Nova Chrome UK has been a reseller for Mutoh’s range of UV direct to object printers for the past 12 months, and now the company will distribute the new HydrAton 1642.
Released in February, the HydrAton is a revolutionary water-based UV printer designed for the evolving demands of the garment and promotional print sector.
The HydrAton combines UV curing technology with eco-conscious water-based inks, offering a truly innovative alternative to traditional solvent and UV systems. This hybrid chemistry not only reduces environmental impact, but also meets growing customer demands for safer, lower-emission print processes – without compromising on durability or colour vibrancy.
Tailored for direct to film applications, it delivers outstanding adhesion across a wide variety of media without the need for pre-coat primers or optimisers. The resulting prints form a thin, scratch-resistant film that requires no topcoat, while also being low-odour and compliant with safety standards. The technology ensures excellent printing stability, thanks to reduced nozzle blockage and low-temperature drying.
The HydrAton is more than just a printer. With fast curing, low maintenance, and minimal odour output, it represents a bold step toward greener production workflows.
