Océ Arizona printers win SGIA Awards

Canon Océ Arizona Series printer models were given the SGIA Product of the Year Award, marking the seventh year in a row that an Océ Arizona Series printer has been honoured with this award since the product line began shipping in 2007. The award was presented at the Specialty Graphic & Imaging Association’s (SGIA) annual convention and exposition held in Orlando, FL.

The Océ Arizona Series printers won in the categories, such as: Océ Arizona 640 GT, Flatbed Rigid Substrate UV (<$200K MSRP); Océ Arizona 660 GT, Flatbed Rigid Substrate UV (>$200K MSRP); Océ Arizona 660 XT, Flatbed Rigid Substrate White ink UV (>$200K MSRP).

The Product of the Year Awards compare output from competing devices using a common test file designed by SGIA. The prints are reviewed by a panel of judges, each with a background and expertise in digital printing and imaging. The judges look for color appeal, detail and tonality, and the output is also judged on how closely it matches the test print. The entry image was processed using ONYX Thrive Océ Edition print workflow software, a scalable print production solution based on Adobe PDF Print Engine technology.
