Press release from the issuing company
Up to six independent ink channels for high-production throughput of standard graphics, or for new applications capabilities
Melville, N.Y. – Canon Solutions America, Inc. (CSA), a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A., today announced the new Océ Arizona® 600 Series UV flatbed printers that are designed to deliver high total and peak production capacity while maintaining the uncompromising print quality favored by Océ Arizona Series customers. Four models are available:
Six-channel models offer versatility for higher production capacity or for new applications
Océ Arizona 660 models feature six independent ink channels that can be configured to suit the needs of the professional print provider. These models can be configured for maximum productivity or optimized White Ink utility; or with both White Ink and Varnish for maximum versatility.
CM2 [C-M-squared] for productivity
For those shops that focus on retail signage or other standard graphics applications and require the highest throughput, channels five and six can be configured to enhance print speed by adding extra cyan and magenta nozzle capacity. Called CM2 [C-M-squared], this innovation results in Production prints with uniformity and smoothness comparable to those produced in Quality mode. Users can take advantage of this improved print quality to realize higher net productivity, since more demanding print jobs can now be printed in faster print modes. CM2-configured printers also feature Production-Squared print mode with print speeds of more than 495 square feet per hour – nearly 25 percent faster than Production mode. CM2 printing offers higher quality in all the Production print modes and faster printing speeds.
White Ink and Varnish for versatility
For those print providers that focus more on specialty applications, two other configurations for channels five and six are available to expand the application range:
The below graphic illustrates the available ink configurations for the Océ Arizona 600 Series printers.
Additional features improve productivity
Océ Arizona 600 Series printers represent the latest generation in this market-leading product family. Featuring award-winning Océ VariaDot® imaging technology that delivers true grayscale tonal reproduction, these models include the following new features:
Upgrade path available
The Océ Arizona 600 Series printer family is designed to grow with a print service provider’s business. Owners can upgrade1 at any time to add more application versatility or improve productivity. An Océ Arizona 640 can be upgraded to an Océ Arizona 660 to add six-channel capability, for CM2, White+Varnish, or Double-Opacity White printing.
Meet nearly any application need
Océ Arizona 600 Series GT models feature the standard table size of 49.2 by 98.4 inches, and Océ Arizona 600 Series XT printer offers the extra large table size of 98.4 by 120 inches. Both can print on rigid media up to 2.0 inches thick. A Roll Media Option is available for all models to print on flexible media up to 86.6 inches wide. Just like the ink channel upgrade mentioned previously, owners can also upgrade their Océ Arizona flatbed at any time with the addition of the Roll Media Option.
If a job can be printed digitally, it likely can be produced on an Océ Arizona printer. With the ability to print on a wide variety of media and objects, print service providers can capture revenue from applications ranging from standard sign and display (point-of-purchase displays, retail signage, backlit signs) to specialty and industrial applications where the decorated substrate is not meant primarily for display purposes (e.g. package prototyping, short-run packaging, wallpaper and interior decoration, and consumer product decoration). With one Océ Arizona printer, full mixed-media campaigns can be produced including rigid displays, banners, window cling, backlits, etc., to service a range of customer needs for maximum revenue.
Highly acclaimed UV flatbed printer series
All Océ Arizona Series printers – including the new Océ Arizona 600 Series – share the same award-winning image quality and robust architecture, offering our values of quality, reliability, productivity and user-friendliness. In all, Océ Arizona Series UV flatbed printers have earned more than 30 industry awards to date from organizations throughout the world.
