Arizona 1300 GT/GTF/XTF Series Large Format UV Flatbed Printer

The Arizona 1300 Series – Bring it On!

Building on the Arizona 1300 series, the first series in the Arizona family that delivered an instant-on LED-UV curing system, the updated Arizona 1300 series now also offers FLXflow technology.

Originally introduced in the Arizona 2300 series, FLXflow Hold technology eliminated the need for first masking and taping the flatbed table before starting most jobs, thereby significantly reducing the set-up time required before being able to print. With the optional Float feature users can now float media on a cushion of air designed to help operators easily position boards into registration, reducing damage and waste. Included with the optional Float feature is the Instant Switch functionality which allows operators to switch between Hold and Float using the foot pedals.

With the implementation of FLOW technology, we are now offering nine different models in the Arizona 1300 series family.

The smaller 4'x8' models will offer a choice of FLXflow or the classic vacuum system while the larger 8'x10' models will only offer FLXflow technology. Both formats will support a Roll Media Option.

The Arizona 1300 enables you to produce an exceptional range of applications. Available with your choice of 4, 6 or 8 ink channels you can also start with a 4 channel Arizona 1340 or 6 channel Arizona 1360 and later upgrade as your business needs evolve by adding 2 additional ink channels - up to a maximum of 8. Besides CMYK, these extra ink channels support our brightest white ink ever and an optically clear varnish. The 8 channel Arizona 1380 adds additional support for light cyan and light magenta for enhanced image quality.

Do more! Featuring a true flatbed architecture for high quality, versatile printing on rigid substrates up to 2 inches thick, the stationary table design of the Arizona allows printing onto irregular shaped items without requiring any special jig. Due to the extreme table flatness, the Arizona image sharpness is consistent everywhere on the table surface. Coupled with the excellent dot placement accuracy this means we can print a drop of ink on top of a drop of ink and produce texture. The PRISMAelevate XL software (formerly Touchstone) was developed exactly to take advantage of this feature and makes file preparation and printing of texture extremely easy.

Adding a Roll Media Option further expands the application range allowing you at the push of a button to switch from flatbed printing to printing on roll media up to 86 inches wide.

Do it smarter! The PRISMAguide XL software (formerly Arizona Xpert) turns complex job setup into a quick, effective process. The self-learning capability within PRISMAguide XL can learn your steps to setup multi-layered, complex jobs - even double-sided jobs or jobs with transparency. Then, you can save the steps as a recipe and later apply that recipe to any similar jobs.

Do it now! The instant-on capability of the LED-UV curing system means you don't have to spend any additional time waiting for lamps to warm up. Simply walk up and begin printing.

FLXflow Hold technology does away with zones and masking and taping for most jobs allowing you to place substrates anywhere on the table and begin printing. The optional FLXflow Float reduces media waste and user error due to mishandling increasing your productivity. The Optional Instant Switch allows users to remove media from the table with relative ease, by switching between the Hold and Float options.

Rigid media handling is also benefited by pneumatic registration pins on three sides of each 4’x 8’ print area that allow you to position a board accurately and repeatedly on the flatbed table and quickly print double-sided jobs with ease. With the Roll Media Option, switching between roll and rigid print jobs can be done at the push of a button with no extra tables to set-up or store away. Time spent doing maintenance is also minimized thanks to the Automated Maintenance System for hands-free printhead maintenance that can selectively restore nozzle functionality in seconds.
