Simply the best in display graphics. The Océ Arizona® family of UV flatbed printers is the world’s number 1 selling series. Last year, they outsold all their competitors combined. The high speed Océ Arizona® 550 GT flatbed printer has the same print quality and application versatility and is the fastest yet.

UV flatbed printer delivers fantastic productivity and market-leading value

  • Pay a third less than lesser quality UV flatbed printers

  • Produce exceptional, closely-viewed indoor or outdoor graphics

  • Print high margin speciality applications on rigid or flexible media or objects

  • Consume half the ink of most printers in this class. Only 8 ml per square metre on average! 

Grab attention with high quality, flatbed UV printer

No more trade-offs between image quality and speed. Océ VariaDot® imaging technology produces ink droplets from 6 to 42 picolitres, resulting in superb image detail, smooth colour transitions and vivid, uniform solid colours for closely-viewed signage and POP materials. Amazing results with a UV inkjet printer whatever the media or application.

Profit from new money makers with versatile UV flatbed printer

This large format flatbed printer lets you print on rigid panels up to 125 cm x 250 cm x 50.8 mm and flexible rolls up to 220 cm wide. You can even print on irregularly-shaped flat objects, by simply placing them on the flatbed printer table.

Most printers can only do one or two things really well, but the Océ Arizona 550 GT does it all and more. Think: part templates for airplanes, CD covers, chairs, fast food menus, fabric, glass, plywood – and anything you need for indoor and outdoor display graphics printing. Build your profit margins producing speciality items that no-one has tried before.

Several options are available for the Océ Arizona 550 GT printer:

Roll Media Option

The Roll Media Option offers new possibilities for all Océ Arizona family printers.  Supporting flexible media rolls from 90 to 220 cm wide, it gives you the ability to print on almost any flexible media including banner vinyl, self-adhesive vinyl, paper, textiles, backlit films and more.

White Ink Option

The White Ink Option can be purchased and installed from the factory or installed later in your own facility. It offers users the flexibility to print any combination of colour and white ink in 2 or 3 layers, on rigid or flexible media. This offers the possibility to print backlit applications, normally reserved for photographic, laser-based printers, or print on any non-white media or object imaginable. It also supports Day/Night application printing for applications that are alternatively back or front lit, such as menu boards. And of course, white can also be printed as a spot colour.

Static Suppression Option

Customers with very dry environments may experience excessive static electricity on hard plastics such as acrylic and polycarbonate rigid sheets.  The Static Suppression Upgrade Kit provides the ability to print on sheets with excessive static without compromising image quality, or tightly controlling the printing environment.|  

Océ Arizona 550 GT news

The Océ Arizona 550 GT prints with a minimum environmental impact

The Océ Arizona 550 GT printer complies with all relevant health and safety directives including CE, UL, CSA, BG, CCC and others.  It also complies with the European RoHS directives for heavy metal content.

The Océ Arizona 550 GT uses UV curable inks that do not contain volatile organic compounds and as a result the user needs minimal ventilation in the print room.  This reduced need to extract or heat/cool large volumes of air from the printing environment results in substantial cost and energy savings.  The Océ Arizona 550 GT also consumes less than 24 Amps of electricity at 220/240 VAC, which is less than a third of many competitive systems, further reducing our impact on the environment.

The Océ Arizona 550 GT does not require an external source of compressed air, making the operational and energy costs even lower.
