THE OCÉ ARIZONA 350 GT PRINTER
The Océ Arizona 350 GT is a four color (CMYK) printer with an option for
white ink. The UV flatbed inkjet printer is capable of producing large-format
images on various rigid and flexible media. The printer consists of a large
vacuum table and moving gantry. The material is held flat and stationary on
the vacuum table during printing. The gantry contains a carriage that sweeps
across the table as the gantry moves in steps along the length of the table to
print an image on the media. In addition to the benefits of stationary
positioning, the use of UV ink technology on rigid material eliminates finishing
processes such as mounting and lamination.
The Océ Arizona 350 GT printer is a 98.4” x 49.2” flatbed printer.
The Océ Arizona 350 GT printer uses UV curable inks and Océ VariaDot™
imaging technology to deliver near-photographic image quality on a wide
range of rigid and flexible media. The promise of Océ VariaDot technology on
a four color ink printer is that it uses less ink than a comparable six color ink-
based system. The maximum production speed is 239 ft
2
/hr for rigid media
and 188 ft
2
/hr for roll feed media. Print speed also varies based on print mode
and the use of white ink as indicated in the table below.

The Océ Arizona 350 GT printer is a flatbed printer with a roll feed option
allowing a more flexible mix of both rigid and flexible media. The print width is
somehow less for the flexible roll feed option — 86.2” compared to 98.4” for
rigid media.
To ensure that the media is staying flat,
the printer has a heavy vacuum pump
preventing any media slipping during
print. Since not all prints need to reach
the maximum width of 98.4”, the printer’s
flatbed is divided into three different
zones to ensure better suction for smaller
media sizes. The vacuum zones are user-
controllable.
The printer and the Controller station are
connected to the local LAN through an
Ethernet connection in the back, which
supports 100 Mbit and 1 Gbit fast
Ethernet.
The Océ Arizona 350 GT printer comes
pre-configured with either a four-color ink
system or a factory-installed five- color ink
system that includes the white ink option.
Printers can be upgraded with the white
ink option in the field. The physical print
resolution depends on the print mode.
The printer comes with the option of
ONYX ProductionHouse RIP v7.2 for
$4,995 to facilitate printing from any
locally connected computer.
The Océ Arizona 350 GT flatbed printer
has a footprint of 8.7 ft x 6.5 ft for the
table. Including the gantry the width grows
to 13.4 ft, requiring a fairly large room for
operation. To make it possible to get this
in your production room, the printer can
be tilted 90º to move it into your facility
with the aid of the Tilt-N-Go rigging
accessory, thereby preventing the need to
break down walls to get it in there.
Lastly the Océ Arizona 350 GT printer
uses a single phase voltage of 208V and
a rated current of 16 amps.
