The Océ Arizona 350 GT is a UV curable flatbed printer with a flexible media option that produces near-photo image quality on rigid or flexible media. It is based upon the Océ Arizona 250 GT, the best selling flatbed printer of all time and winner of several major industry awards. Expanding on the productivity and capability that made the Océ Arizona 250 GT a favorite of digital printers, photo labs, screen printers and sign makers, the Océ Arizona 350 GT changes the rules again with the addition of white ink printing and nearly 40% higher productivity.

UV flatbed printer delivers superior image quality, versatility and productivity

  • Oce VariaDot imaging technology delivers near-photographic quality display graphic prints
  • True large format UV flatbed printer:  print directly to a wide variety of rigid media
  • Print onto flexible media with the Roll Media Option
  • Print with white ink (optional) for backlit or non-white media applications
  • Production printing speed of up to 22.2 square meters per hour
  • Océ VariaDot imaging technology plus four-color ink set reduces ink costs by up to 50% over six-color printers

Expand services with high quality, large format digital printer

Take on work that is not possible with a lesser quality wide format inkjet printer.  This remarkable UV flatbed printer uses Océ VariaDot imaging technology to produce ink droplets from 6 to 42 picolitres, resulting in superb image detail, color transitions and vivid, uniform solid colors. This new standard in image quality lets you add closely viewed point-of-purchase signage or even fine art reproduction to your list of display graphic services.

Print on virtually any media with a UV flatbed printer

This wide format digital printer lets you print on rigid panels up to 125 cm x 250 cm x 48 mm and flexible rolls up to 220 cm wide. You can even print on irregularly-shaped flat objects, by simply placing them on the flatbed printer table.

 

Several options are available for the Océ Arizona 350 GT printer

Roll Media Option

The Roll Media Option offers new possibilities for all Océ Arizona family printers.  Supporting flexible media rolls from 90 to 220 cm wide, it gives you the ability to print on almost any flexible media including banner vinyl, self-adhesive vinyl, paper, textiles, backlit films and more.

White Ink Option

The White Ink Option can be purchased installed from the factory or installed later in your own facility. It allow users to print any combination of color and white ink in 2 or 3 layers, on rigid or flexible media. This offers the possibility to print backlit applications, normally reserved for photographic, laser-based printers, or print on any non-white media or object imaginable. It also supports Day/Night application printing for applications that are alternatively back or front lit, such as menu boards. And of course, white can also be printed as a spot color.

Static Suppression Option

Customers with very dry environments may experience excessive static electricity on hard plastics such as acrylic and polycarbonate rigid sheets.  The Static Suppression Upgrade Kit provides the ability to print on sheets with excessive static without compromising image quality, or slowing the printer.

Océ at Medienkraftwerk

“On the whole, the Océ Arizona range simply provides unrivalled good printing quality and ingeniously simple handling”, says Markus Maier-Schambeck, Managing Director of Medienkraftwerk

Standing still is an expression that is not in Markus Maier-Schambeck’s vocabulary. If his machine pool is being fully utilized or new potential applications arise, the Managing Director of Euskirchen-based Medienkraftwerk GmbH invests in new systems. After having acquired three wide format roll-based printers from Océ, in September 2007 his shopping list included an Océ Arizona® 250 GT model for printing on rigid media. And because performance limits are there to be pushed further and further by the former race driver, an Océ Arizona 350 XT printer with White Ink Option was added in April 2008 to deal with the really big jobs.

Océ at Moedel GmbH

“For the most part, a sign consists of singlecolored surfaces. We have not found any other system that can print these surfaces as well and as neatly as the Océ Arizona 250 GT printer”, says Christian Moedel, Managing Director of Moedel GmbH Schilderfabrikation.

Signs are everywhere. Germany is full of them. Direction signs, information signs, advertising signs and warning signs are needed on construction sites, inside and outside factories, and in public buildings, hotels, restaurants and shops. An increasing number of signs are made to measure or individually customized. This makes the manufacture of the signs a real challenge. Moedel GmbH Schilderfabrikation in Amberg, Bavaria, has found the perfect solution. The company uses three Océ Arizona® flatbed printers for small production runs and customized products. The latest arrival: an Océ Arizona 350 XT printer with Roll Media and White Ink Options.
