Océ celebrates shipment of 2,000th flatbed printer
Milestone for Océ Arizona Series, world’s premier selling flatbed printer product family
Venlo, The Netherlands, 9 September 2010 - Océ, an international leader in digital document management, recently celebrated shipping unit number 2,000 of its Océ Arizona® Series of UV flatbed printers. The Océ Arizona Series is the world’s number one selling flatbed family, outselling all competitors combined.
“The popularity of the Océ Arizona Series in the market is proof of the value it provides to our customers,” said Gido van Praag, CEO of Océ Display Graphics Systems. “Customers are initially attracted to the Océ Arizona Series because of the superior image quality and the variety of applications that can be produced. But they are convinced to purchase one because of the outstanding value it provides to their business.”
The first system in this series – the Océ Arizona 250 GT printer – was launched in September 2006. It won the Vision Award, which is given to an exhibiting manufacturer whose new product has the best chance of positively impacting the digital imaging industry. The decision is based on the product’s relevance to the market, potential industry influence and prospective value to the product’s end users. The Océ Arizona 250 GT printer also won the Viscom Innovation Award where it was designated a ‘truly innovative product’ at the Viscom 2007 International Trade Fair.
