Oce, an international leader in digital document management and delivery solutions, announced that the Oce Arizona 200 GT UV curable flatbed printer is available for order in the United States . The Oce Arizona 200 GT printer delivers the same award-winning image quality as the Oce Arizona 250 GT printer but is configured for light production environments, making it accessible to print shops and sign makers with lower volume demands. It produces near-photographic image quality with the flexibility of printing onto both rigid substrates and roll-based, flexible media.
Proven platform, fully upgradeable
The Oce Arizona 200 GT printer is based on the Oce Arizona 250 GT platform that combines a true flatbed architecture with a separate, dedicated roll-to-roll system. It can print onto rigid media up to 49 inches wide x 98 inches long x 1.89 inches thick. By adding the Roll Media Option, users can print onto flexible media up to 87 inches wide in an automated and unattended manner.
Like the award-winning Oce Arizona 250 GT printer, the Oce Arizona 200 GT uses Oce VariaDot imaging technology and four-color (CMYK) UV curable inks to produce near-photographic image quality at a true production print speed (sellable prints) of 101 ft2 per hour. The availability of this new, more accessible Oce Arizona model enables smaller companies to adopt this exceptional Oce printing technology. As production volumes grow, customers can field-upgrade their Oce Arizona 200 GT printer to an Oce Arizona 250 GT printer and realize production print speeds of up to 172 ft2 per hour.
Oce VariaDot Imaging Technology for stunning image quality
The Oce Arizona 200 GT printer uses Oce VariaDot imaging technology, the next evolution of piezoelectric inkjet technology that enables a print head to produce dots of variable size versus print heads using fixed-droplet technology. Oce VariaDot technology creates these variable dots by dispensing ink droplets that vary in volume from six to 42 picoliters. The ability to vary the drop size to as little as 6 picoliters produces sharp images with smoother gradients and quarter-tones. The ability to jet larger droplets up to 42 picoliters produces dense, uniform solid colors. The result is near-photographic image quality with sharpness only before seen at resolutions of 1,440 dpi or higher.
In addition to superior image quality, Oce VariaDot imaging technology with four color inks uses significantly less ink compared to six color printers with fixed-droplet inkjet technology. The resulting lower ink consumption results in ink savings of up to 35 percent over fixed-droplet, six color printers, making it one of the most economical printers to use for sign and display applications.
