Biggest Arizona flatbed gets set to display

The largest Arizona flatbed on the market, Océ Arizona 550 XT will be one of the highlights of the Visual Impact Image Expo in Melbourne. It will be demonstrated in harness with the Océ ProCut cutting system, illustrating the powerful features of both units. The Océ Arizona 550 XT is able to print on panels as large as 2.5m x 3.05 m and up to 50mm thick. Delivering print speeds of up to 65 sq m/hour and enabling printing of more than 150 sheets of 1220 x 2440 mm sheets in a single shift.

Productivity is the key to Océ Arizona 550 XT  as the two separate vacuum bed zones enable continuous printing with no downtime between prints. After the first sheet is printed, the print head moves, automatically starting to print the second sheet. The operator is able to remove the first printed sheet to set-up another clean sheet. Normally a printer would print one sheet at a time and wait for the first to finish before placing the second one on the printer, so there are critical time advantages on long print runs with the Arizona 550 XT.
