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.

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.

Roll Media Option

The Roll Media Option offers new possibilities for all Océ Arizona 250 GT printer users. 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.

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 Bigger Printing

“I would not hesitate to recommend the Océ Arizona 250 GT - it’s the only serious print on demand flatbed press in town”, saysSebastian Stanley, Managing Director of The Bigger Printing Company.

Bigger Printing started life using solvent based inkjet technology. With the emergence of UV curable inkjet the company sought a strategic partner to implement its future business model. Océ was identified as the leading partner, given the breadth of its wide format portfolio, its R&D experience, and its imaging supplies range. Sebastian explains: “With Océ, I have ended up with a world class product, and a cost of ownership model supported by a low cost per print. It’s a great partnership. We were one of the first Arizona users to install the Roll Media Option. That has given us productivity of 16 sqm per hour. In addition Océ always offers early adoption of all the latest Onyx software upgrades.”

Océ at Alstercolor

“One of the reasons why the order was placed with us was that we could provide the required quality with the Océ Arizona 250 GT printer”, says Michael Kempf, Managing Director of Alstercolor.

A museum without explanatory text displays would be a fairly unfathomable collection of different objects: few people would be able to classify the exhibition pieces and understand the context. There is, therefore, a great deal to be printed when a new museum is built – hundreds of text boards and more than one thousand object descriptions were needed for the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg. And since only the best was good enough for printing, Alstercolor, the printing company responsible for creating the displays, decided to use the Océ Arizona 250 GT flatbed printer.

Océ at Hanbuch Packaging

“I am totally convinced that digital printers such as the Océ Arizona Series will displace offset printing as far as small print runs are concerned”, says Andreas Hanbuch, Managing Director of Hanbuch Packaging.

Packaging, displays and display stands are omnipresent and usually have a fairly elaborate design – after all, they are supposed to encourage people to buy things. Because of the size of the print runs, printing for packaging and displays is normally carried out using the offset method. It is becoming increasingly clear that wide format digital flatbed printing can play an important role – be it for prototypes and samples, exclusive small print runs, regionalized products or even personalized products. Hanbuch Packaging GmbH from Pfungstadt in the state of Hesse is one of the pioneers in this growing area with an Océ Arizona 250 GT 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.
