Allied Images has been appointed as UK and Ireland distributor for the Mutoh DrafStation series of professional CAD inkjet printers.

Designed for CAD and mapping applications, DrafStation will also deliver photo-quality prints at up to 2880 dot/in.

Allied Images has many years experience in supplying the CAD/GIS and design/print markets and see many opportunities for DrafStation as a fast, high-quality, large-format printer.

Also, there is excellent synergy between DrafStation printers and colourtrac's SmartLF series scanners, for which Allied Images is exclusive UK distributor, enabling it to offer multifunction printers at an exceptional price.

DrafStation RJ-900 is 42in (A0+) wide and incorporates a new generation "wide model" print head (four colour sections, 360 nozzles per colour) that gives the highest resolution - 2880 dot/in.

DrafStation delivers drawings with superior line sharpness and photo-quality images with continuous tones, smooth transitions and a wide colour gamut.

Offering various print resolutions for different applications, DrafStation delivers high speed 360 dot/in A0-sise output in 91 seconds, making it the fastest CAD printer currently on the market.

The CMYK printer is delivered with special black pigmented ink offering excellent UV stability and enabling the production of super-fast draft plots on low-cost media.

DrafStation is easy to install, comes with both a Windows system driver and a dedicated AutoCAD HDI driver, and offers unequalled operator friendliness.

Steve Morin, MD of Allied Images said: "Allied has been selling scanning and imaging solutions for almost 18 years".

"By adding Mutoh's DrafStation to our product range we will be able to provide a competitively priced large format printer which can outperform its competition".

"Also, we will offer end-to-end scan-to-print and fully-featured large format digital copy solutions for documents up to 42in width".
