Worlds premier selling product family
With close to 2,000 printers to date, the Océ Arizona Series of UV flatbed printers is the worlds number one selling product family, outselling all competitors combined. The Océ Arizona 550 GT is the fastest yet, printing twice as fast as other Océ Arizona models and with image quality superior to all competitive systems. In a market where sales of printing equipment and supplies by competitors dropped more than 30 percent in 2008, Océs business actually grew modestly. This growth was largely attributable to the popularity of the Océ Arizona Series, designed using an efficient cost engineering approach that makes it more affordable – by as much as 25% – than comparable competitive systems.

Unlike most high capacity flatbed printers, the Océ Arizona 550 GT display graphics printer features image quality suitable for closely-viewed point-of-purchase signage. The image quality is also suitable for printing on transparent media for use as illuminated backlit signs such as those in the cosmetics section of large department stores.

It employs the same Océ VariaDot imaging technology used in other members of the award-winning family such as the Océ Arizona 350 GT and the Océ Arizona 350 XT display graphics printers. Priced significantly lower than many competitive systems with similar productivity, the Océ Arizona 550 GT isplay graphics printer offers the lowest ink consumption rate in the market, generating savings of up to 50%. Océ anticipates its customers producing an stimated 10-12 million square meters – thats about 2,000 football pitches – of printed output on Océ Arizona Series printers this year.
