Innovation
on the Wide Side Powerful and
profitable solutions
In
the wide format area of the exhibit, Océ Wide Format Printing Systems
will showcase two innovative solutions for display graphics and
technical document applications. The new UV-curable
flatbed printer, the digital cutting system and the
system, using its revolutionary solid toner Océ
CrystalPoint technology will each running on the show floor,
demonstrating the productivity that makes these systems both powerful
and profitable.
First up is the new Océ Arizona® 550 GT UV-curable flatbed printer, the fastest member of the award-winning Océ Arizona Series. With the highest quality in the market, it easily handles peak demand for rush jobs and offers much better value than comparable systems. Featuring a production print mode of up to 433 square feet per hour on rigid media, users can print more than 100 four-by-eight-foot boards in a single eight-hour shift. An Express print mode will also be available with print speeds of up to 721 square feet per hour, or 22 four-by-eight-foot boards per hour, nearly three times higher than the fastest print speed available on the previously-released Océ Arizona 350 GT printer.
Designed as a true flatbed system, the Océ Arizona 550 GT printer can print on a wide variety of rigid substrates up to 49.2 by 98.4 inches in area and up to two inches thick. But because rigid materials aren't the only choice for wide format printing, the Arizona 550 GT offers a Roll Media Option for printing onto flexible media up to 86.6 inches wide. The system also offers a White Ink Option for printing onto non-white media or objects and onto transparent media to create stunning backlit images.
Next up is the Océ ProCut 2500L
digital cutting system, which will be shown
alongside the Arizona 550 GT printer for automated finishing of rigid
and roll-based wide format prints. This complete system of hardware,
software, consulting and service reduces labor and materials costs in
the finishing stage, while enabling customers to maintain high
productivity levels and increase profit margins. It also opens the door
to new business opportunities for small-
and medium-sized businesses,
enabling them to offer a wider range of
services to their clients.
Not all jobs need the size of the
Arizona line, so
the the acclaimed Océ ColorWave 600 will be shown printing complex color
maps, typical of todays numerous geographic information system (GIS)
applications. In addition, the Océ ColorWave 600 will be shown with
Posterizer software, an easy-to-use, fully integrated
Point of Purchase (POP) signage solution.
Print-for-pay firms
can offer retailers a cost-effective, fast turnaround option for
short-term, disposable signage that enhances in-store marketing and
merchandising. The Océ ColorWave 600 printer requires no drying time and
prints on uncoated media, so even high-color-coverage posters and
signage can be handled immediately with print costs kept low.
