Sign Digital UK Review: Flat or roll, you choose
Océ presented a roll media option for its Arizona 250 GT, designed to allow roll-based printing of flexible media for banners, point-of-sale displays, backlit graphics, paper-based posters and fabric panels. The option can be shipped with new orders or added in-field. Existing Arizona 250 GT units can be upgraded without hardware modification.
Unlike most systems, rigid and roll printing areas do not interfere with each other. The two printing surfaces can be used sequentially: while one is printing, the other can be handled without disrupting the printing process.
Once a rigid print is finished, the print head assembly is positioned over the roll media option and begins printing on flexible media. Meanwhile, the rigid material is swapped out and a new board is placed on the vacuum table and prepared for printing. Once the flexible media printing is completed, the print head assembly moves back to the table to resume printing on the rigid media. The roll media can then be unloaded without disturbing the rigid printing function. There is no down time to reconfigure the system to change from one print mode to the other.
