The Océ Arizona 360 GT also features maximum sustained electricity consumption of only 5100 Watts, which is less than half that of many competitive systems. Finally the Océ Arizona 360GT does not require an external source of compressed air, making the operational and energy costs even lower.
Canon Arizona 360GT helps boost margins by printing for challenging applications or on difficult media. It offers customers new media options like heat-sensitive and/or very thin media easily accommodated. Canon Arizona UV has the state of the art features and is designed to cater to all printing needs of customers. While Express Mode high speed printing helps increase revenue capacity, High Definition print mode adds high-margin industrial or technical applications.
