Oce aids speed of workflow

Oc has launched an external take-up reel feature for its Arizona 500 ink-jet printer that allows users to access printed graphics at any point without stopping to unload.

The Print & Go feature, launched at Photokina in Germany last month, adds an "alternative media exit" known as "roll-to-sheet", which increases productivity by reducing the bottleneck between print and finishing.

Oc is targeting Print & Go at print shops with heavy volumes of one-off jobs, claiming they will achieve both cost and time savings.

Arizona 500 owners can continue to use the printers internal take-up roll or feed the print through a specially designed slot in the front panel onto the external Print & Go reel.

The Arizona 500 prints up to 600dpi using ColorBlend six-colour printing technology and prints at 46.5m2 an hour in two-pass mode.

The full package, including the Arizona 500, RIP and Print & Go, is available now and costs 129,000.

Oc has also launched an infrared dryer for the Arizona 500.
