Oce, Trumbull, Conn., an international leader in digital document management, has announced the Oce Arizona(R) 300 GT printer, a new UV curable flatbed printer that delivers the same exceptional image quality as the Oce Arizona 350 GT printer but is configured for light production environments. This configuration makes it accessible to print shops and sign makers with lower volume demands. The Oce Arizona 300 GT printer produces exceptional image quality and can print onto both rigid substrates and roll-based, flexible media.
Quality printing and productivity with a clear upgrade path
Like the award-winning Oce Arizona 350 GT printer, the Oce Arizona 300 GT printer uses Oce VariaDot(TM) imaging technology and four-color (CMYK) UV curable inks. The system can produce near-photographic image quality at a true production print speed (sellable prints) of 133 square feet per hour. The availability of this new, more affordable Oce Arizona model enables smaller companies to adopt proven Oce printing technology.
This new model offers investment protection with an upgrade path to accommodate customers' business needs as they grow. As production volumes increase, customers can field-upgrade their Oce Arizona 300 GT printer to an Oce Arizona 350 GT model and realize production print speeds of up to 239 square feet per hour. Upgrading to the Oce Arizona 350 GT model also gives customers the ability to add the White Ink Option for under-printing on non-white media or objects, over-printing for backlit applications on transparent media and printing white as a spot color.
With its accommodating upgrade path, the new Oce Arizona 300 GT printer demonstrates Oce's commitment to protecting the capital investment its customers make in display graphics products.
Media flexibility for a range of applications
The Oce Arizona 300 GT printer combines a true flatbed architecture with a separate, dedicated roll-to-roll media handling system. It can print onto rigid media up to 49.2" wide x 98.4" long x 1.89" thick. By adding the Roll Media Option, users can print onto flexible media up to 86.6" wide in an automated and unattended manner, such as for overnight operation.
Oce Arizona Series: a complete range
The Oce Arizona 300 GT printer joins the popular Oce Arizona Series of UV curable, flatbed printers that also include the Oce Arizona 350 XT extra-large flatbed printer with White Ink Option and the Oce Arizona 350 GT production printer with White Ink Option. All three models share the same robust architecture and deliberate design that offer the Oce values of quality, reliability, productivity and user-friendliness.
The Oce Arizona Series of UV curable, flatbed printers has been honored throughout the world since the introduction of the original Oce Arizona 250 GT printer in September 2006. The numerous accolades - including DPI Product of the Year and BERTL(R) 4.5 Star Outstanding awards - validate the quality and innovation built into every Oce Arizona Series model, now the most popular printer series in its class.
Availability
The Oce Arizona 300 GT printer is expected to be available for U.S. deliveries in the second quarter of 2009.
