Mumbai: Canon has launched the Océ Arizona 6100 Series, a new printer which can produce approximately 325,000 square feet of printed rigid media per year.
Comprised of the six-color Océ Arizona 6160 XTS device and the seven-color Océ Arizona 6170 XTS device, the Océ Arizona 6100 Series has been optimized for high-speed production of rigid media applications.
The Arizona 6100 series' true flatbed architecture supports several media applications which includes printing on odd-shaped, heavy, smooth or pre-cut rigid media; the production of high value, multi-layer applications; double-sided prints in perfect register; large prints tiled over multiple boards with perfect geometry; and edge-to-edge printing without hassle or mess.
The flatbed table has two independent printing zones, each with its own vacuum system, for simultaneous printing and media loading/unloading. As per the official reports, this series also features an extra-large 8-by-10 foot vacuum table to keep media and objects stationary during printing for optimal print quality and rigid media application versatility.
With almost 27,000 piezoelectric nozzles in a seven-row printing carriage, the Arizona 6100 Series produces inkjet print output at speeds up to 1,668 square feet per hour. A newly designed Automated Printhead Maintenance System provides completely automated, hands-free print head cleaning in less than 25 seconds per color, making the vast array of nozzles available and ready to print at virtually any time.
The Active Pixel Placement Compensation ensures that every pixel is adjusted to land exactly where intended for accurate, uniform print geometry over the entire flatbed.
The Océ Arizona 6160 XTS printers is also upgradeable to the Océ Arizona 6170 XTS printer with the addition of one ink channel for white ink applications. Both Océ Arizona 6100 Series models will also support an additional ink channel for future development.
