Hello guys. I am looking for buying a Digital U.V Print. And I am new in this segment. I am receveing offer of this two prints. The price here in Brasil of this two models are quite the same. i intend to print mainly sheets of plastic materials ( pvc, psai, petg ) like 300 sheets each model. The two companies have assistence here in Brasil, but It is like that Oce is a little better in production mode. please help me and sorry about my English.

Hi, I'm user of Oce Arizona 350XT in Poland. I think that Oce is little better, better service, but have some problems with inks. Material must be perfect clean and no tuching and gloves are "must be". If you touch material you can see fingerprints. Oce is vere very very accurate, and you can print thousands of layers in this same place. Have good vaccum. And please consider XT version, large table is very helpfull and its generating much profit. Oce is useles in roll to roll printing (banding), but i think better is to use solvent or some Agfa UV printer which are specialized in roll to roll.

Thanks Pokmijn for your advice. i saw a Arizona 550 XT ( I liked I Lot ) working in the silk and sign fair here in Brazil, but It is much more expensive here in Brazil and I have aspecial condition in the GT one. But how It is my First Digital Print I am really looking to buying a very good machine.
thanks

Remember my friend: NEVER place arizona near solvent printer, solvent vapours are destructive to the printing heads. If you have any problem contact me, i disasembled this machine almost to the ground and have good contacts with sarvice staff here in PL.

Just watching this post as I am also looking at a Arizona 550 GT in combination with a ProCut 2500L cutting table. Wanting to get into more versatile short and long run corrugated and whiteboard production with die-less production. Any suggestions for a newbie would be great.
