Oce Arizona 350 XT UV flatbed printer

The Oce Arizona 350 XT printer features an extra-large flatbed table capable of producing rigid prints as large as 98.4 inches wide by 120 inches long. The extra width enables the printer to be used in a continuous imaging mode for rigid media up to 4-foot by 8-foot. 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 this size. With the Roll Media Option installed, users can print onto flexible media as well.

The Oce Arizona 350 XT printer uses four-colors of ink and offers a White Ink Option to expand applications options to non-white and clear surfaces. It is part of the popular and award-winning Oce Arizona Series of UV curable, flatbed printers. All models include Oce VariaDot™ imaging technology to deliver near-photographic image quality, and all share the same robust architecture and deliberate design that deliver the Oce values of quality, reliability, productivity and user-friendliness.
