Features

Rigid productivity by design

Arizona 6100-Series dedicated high volume flatbed systems are ideal for sign and display graphics print service providers with a production potential in excess of 30,000m2 per year.

Designed as a productivity platform, the Arizona 6100-Series delivers fast, reliable and high quality inkjet print production at up to 155m2 per hour. An extra-large, dual origin flatbed table with two independent vacuum zones allows for non-stop production of standard size 1.25 x 2.5m boards with simultaneous printing and media loading/unloading.

Unmatched reliability, ease-of-use

Pneumatic registration pins ensure quick, repeatable, easy loading of rigid media in perfect register every time. Combined with a high-flow vacuum system for effective pull-down of even warped rigid media, it takes only seconds to load the largest boards.

An innovative Automated Printhead Maintenance System provides completely hands-free printhead cleaning in less than 25 seconds per colour, ensuring consistent nozzle performance print after print.

Rigid media application versatility

A dedicated, true flatbed system, the Arizona 6100-Series opens up a wealth of production possibilities. An extra-large 2.5 x 3.05m vacuum table, designed to keep media and objects stationary during printing, offers optimal print quality and unrivalled versatility. It supports the broadest range of rigid media applications including: printing on odd shaped, heavy, smooth or pre-cut rigid media; high value multi-layer applications; double-sided prints; large tiled prints over multiple boards; and edge-to-edge prints – all in perfect register and geometry and without hassle or mess.

Printers are also easily expandable with one additional ink channel for future white ink support. An API (application programming interface) allows for easy integration with third-party automation systems for instance for automated media load/unload systems.

Unique Technology

VariaDot grayscale imaging technology
A new 6-colour VariaDot imaging technology produces ink droplets from 6 to 42 picolitres resulting in superb image detail, smooth colour transitions and vivid, uniform solid colours. Light Cyan and Light Magenta are used for reliable printing at production print speeds, and improve the smoothness of quarter tone colours, like skin tones. The print sharpness and print geometry over the entire flatbed is further enhanced by actively mapping the table and adjusting the pixel placement, called Active Pixel Placement Compensation.

Configurations and Related

Configurations

Static Suppression Option
Customers with very dry environments may experience excessive static electricity on hard plastics such as acrylic and polycarbonate rigid sheets. The Static Suppression Upgrade Kit provides the ability to print on sheets with excessive static without compromising image quality, or slowing the printer.

Upgrade Path Option
Add a colour channel to the printer at any time. Application of the 1-Channel Upgrade converts an Arizona 6160 XTS to Arizona 6170 XTS, adding White ink capability for backlit and non-white media applications.
