A Safer, Smarter Approach to Wide Format Printing

The HydrAton 1642 is a 64 inch, dual printhead, water-based UV roll-to-roll printer, introducing a new category of roll-to-roll printing with AQUAFUZE™, a patented water-based UV-curable ink. By combining water-based safety with UV-level durability, it delivers vibrant graphics, reduced environmental impact, and reliable performance across a range of indoor applications. HydrAton 1642 Water-Based UV Printer is engineered for interior graphics, signage, décor, and specialty substrates.

Balanced, Responsible Printing

The HydrAton 1642 adopts AQUAFUZE™ water-based UV ink technology, blending the benefits of water-dispersed print chemistry with UV curing. The result: prints with low odor, low VOCs, and no need for aggressive pre-coatings, making it suitable for sensitive environments.

Its film formation system allows:

• Durable finishes without overcoats

• Thin ink layers that preserve substrate texture

• Strong scratch resistance and adhesion

• Printing across uncoated, coated, and specialty media types

• No primer or optimizer in many cases

Print Technology & Performance

Built using two AccuFine HD print heads in staggered configuration, the HydrAton 1642 supports high-density output and stable drop delivery.

Key performance features include:

• Low-temperature drying and curing

• Fast print times while maintaining image fidelity

• Automated bidirectional calibration and media feed adjustment

• Media roll balance tracking and barcode-based roll management

• Standard take-up unit linked with print operations

It also supports tiling, step & repeat, and bleed processing via the bundled VerteLith RIP, giving you maximum control over layout and print accuracy.
