MELVILLE, N.Y., Sept. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrating

Océ Colorado 1650 large format graphic printer,
Océ Arizona 1380 XT UV flatbed printer and
Océ Touchstone Software have won the 2019 Specialty

Awards.
"We're thrilled to receive recognition from SGIA judges, experts

Inc. "As Canon continues to innovate and contribute to the
next generation of industry solutions, we plan to pursue our goal
of delivering high-quality products designed to directly benefit
the needs of our customers."
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. And 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 color 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.
Canon's three award-winning SGIA Products of the Year will be on
display in the Canon Solution America's booth 7016 at PRINTING
United 2019, October 23-25 in
Dallas, Texas.
