Canon Wins Three SGIA 2019 “Product of the Year” Awards
Océ Colorado 1650, Océ Arizona 1380 XT and Océ Touchstone Software recognized
BRAMPTON, ON., SEPTEMBER 19, 2019 – Celebrating innovative technology, Canon Canada Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is excited to announce that three of its products were awarded with “Product of the Year” Awards earlier this month. The recognition further solidifies Canon’s customer-first approach in creating and delivering high-quality products designed to provide solutions to tangible customer needs.
The industry-leading, U.S.-based Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA) recognized the Océ Colorado 1650 large format graphic printer, Océ Arizona 1380 XT UV flatbed printer and Océ Touchstone Software at the 2019 Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA) “Product of the Year” Awards.
Acknowledged by the print industry for their outstanding print quality, versatility, productivity and ease of use, below are the three SGIA 2019 “Product of the Year” award winners by category:
Roll-to-Roll/UV (under 80 inches)
The Océ Colorado 1650 printer offers a truly impressive application range thanks to two innovative technologies: the more flexible and stretchable formulation of the Canon UVgel 460 inks and the ingenious Océ FLXfinish technology. The new inks provide excellent image stability, even when folded, bent, or wrapped. With the Océ FLXfinish technology, you can print your applications with either a beautiful glossy finish or a luxurious matte finish, independent of media type. These new technologies build on top of a platform that already delivers extremely durable prints as well as segment-leading geometric and colour consistency.
UV Latex Flatbed + White ($100,000 - $200,000)
The Océ Arizona 1380 XT UV flatbed printer features a choice of two printer sizes - 49.2" x 98.4" or 98.4” x 121.3”. Additional features include true flatbed architecture plus optional roll media support, pneumatic pin registration, automated printhead maintenance, high resolution table mapping, software for complex job creation/automation (Arizona Xpert), optional software for textured printing (Océ Touchstone) and for the first time LED-UV curing and purpose-built Océ IJC357 LED curable inks.
Software-RIP
Océ Touchstone Software is a suite of software tools that empowers designers and print providers to create print-ready 2.5D data for Océ Arizona printers, instantly adding height and texture elements to otherwise two-dimensional prints. Compatible with the Océ Arizona 1200, 1300 and 2200 Series UV curable flatbed printers and ONYX Thrive software, multi-layered complex print jobs can typically be difficult to design, preview and print, but Océ Touchstone Software helps to make that process easy. Designers can preview the created effect within Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator utilizing the free Océ Touchstone extensions and operators can preview printing layers, time and ink consumption, all before printing a single pixel.
