Printing technology evolves fast, and staying current can give your business an edge. In this post, I’ll cover three standout products: the XpertJet 1641SR, HP UV Ink, and Eco Sol Max Ink 220ml. You’ll learn what makes each solution compelling—and when to use them.

What Makes the XpertJet 1641SR a Gamechanger?

The XpertJet 1641SR is a 64″ eco-solvent wide-format printer built for sign and display work. It comes with Mutoh’s VerteLith RIP, i-screen tech, and an AccuFine printhead for sharper output. 

It’s ideal for businesses that want flexibility in media types, especially in vinyl, banners, and film work. Its eco-solvent ink system means no heavy ventilation or odor issues in standard shop settings.
If you visit its product listing on DPI Supply, you’ll see how it fits into a complete print workflow with the right ink and consumables.

Why HP UV Ink Matters in the Contemporary Printing World

HP UV Ink brings compelling features for rigid and mixed-media printing applications. Because UV-curable inks cure instantly under ultraviolet light, there’s no wait time. 

These inks also emit zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them a more environmentally friendly choice compared to traditional solvent-based inks. 

With HP UV Ink, you can confidently print on a variety of substrates—plastic, metal, glass, and more—without worrying about drying or bleeding.

Eco Sol Max Ink 220ml: A Proven Workhorse for Roland Printers

Eco Sol Max Ink 220ml remains one of the most trusted eco-solvent inks on the market. It’s known for strong outdoor durability (up to three years without lamination), fast drying, and resistance to scratches.

Because it’s virtually odorless and user-friendly, it suits many shop environments where ventilation is a concern. Its formula also maintains adhesion on a wide range of coated and uncoated materials.

Head-to-Head: When to Use Which Solution

Here’s a quick comparison to help you decide which technology or product best fits your workflow:

Synergies Between These Technologies

You don’t need to pick just one—many hybrid print shops use a combination:

• Use the XpertJet 1641SR for high-volume flexible media jobs
  
  

• Use HP UV Ink for rigid, specialty signage
  
  

• Use Eco Sol Max Ink 220ml on compatible Roland machines for broader ink compatibility
  
  

This approach lets you manage customer demands across media types without switching your core processes entirely.

Maximizing Print Quality & Reliability

To get the best results, pay attention to:

• Calibration & RIP Settings – Using appropriate profiles for each ink/substrate combo matters.
  
  

• Media Compatibility – Always check that your substrate accepts eco-solvent or UV inks.
  
  

• Maintenance Routine – Regular cleaning and part replacements (caps, motors, printheads) keep machines reliable.
  You may want to build a spare parts kit including dx7 printhead / tech swabs, mimaki parts usa, roland cap top, and roland scan motor to minimize downtime.
  
  

• Environmental Controls – Maintain consistent temperature and humidity to reduce ink behavior variances.

Final Thoughts

Each of these technologies—XpertJet 1641SR, HP UV Ink, and Eco Sol Max Ink 220ml—has its role in a sophisticated print shop. By understanding their strengths and use cases, you can design a workflow that handles both flexible and rigid substrates with confidence.
