February 10, 2009 – Trumbull, CT – The award-winning Océ Arizona^® family of digital flatbed printers has expanded yet again with the introduction of the Océ Arizona 350 XT printer with a dramatically enlarged flatbed table. This latest model in the Océ Arizona family is capable of producing rigid prints as large as 98.4 by 120 inches. A White Ink Option and a Roll Media Option are also available. The Océ Arizona 350 XT printer will make its U.S. debut in Océ booth #4343 at the International Sign Expo, April 16-18 in Las Vegas.

Extra width increases rigid printing capacity
The extra width of the Océ Arizona 350 XT printer enables it to be used in a continuous imaging mode for rigid media up to 49.2 by 98.4 inches, or a standard 4- by 8-foot board. Two rigid boards of this size can be mounted on separate vacuum areas of the flatbed table. While one board is being printed, the other can be changed by the operator. Since the printer never has to stop printing for a media change, users can significantly increase their net print production on boards of this size.

With the Roll Media Option installed, users can print onto flexible media up to 87 inches wide. The media roll can be unloaded at any time without interrupting rigid printing, and there is no down time to reconfigure the system to change from one print mode to the other.
