Canon subsidiary Océ will ship its 5000th Océ Arizona printer since it first launched the series in 2007, making it by far the world’s biggest selling flatbed printer.
The company says this milestone achievement demonstrates the acceptance of these award-winning UV flatbed printers by printers around the globe.
The 5000th unit, a new Océ Arizona 6170 XTS printer, targets the high volume market. The recent introduction of the Océ Arizona 6100 series marked Canon’s entrance into the high-volume flatbed market segment.
The company says the new machine features continuous printing speeds of up to 155sqm per hour, making it more than ten times as productive as the first Océ Arizona printers.
Canon and Océ develop the Arizona printers at Océ Display Graphics Systems, located near Vancouver, Canada. They manufacture the printers there and at Océ facilities in Germany.
