Outstanding print quality

The Arizona 1200 series of printers, including the new extra-large Arizona 1280 XT, takes the industry-leading Arizona 400 series to a new level. The Arizona 1280 XT represents the highest quality extra-large true flatbed printer designed for mid-volume users. With its award-winning 8 channel VariaDot imaging technology, the Arizona 1280 XT can use Light Cyan and Light Magenta inks to deliver the smoothest highlights and quartertones for fine art and photographic applications, or it can use the proven CM² ink configuration for fast and smooth production printing as demanded by sign and display applications.

Sustained quality across all media

By enhancing the Arizona range’s industry-proven true extra-large flatbed architecture, the Arizona 1280 XT delivers stunning print quality on rigid media. For added versatility, choose the integrated Roll Media Option to achieve uncompromising print quality with flexible media applications. You’re assured of accurate, uniform print geometry across the entire print area thanks to Active Pixel Placement Compensation.

Breathtaking application versatility

With the ability to print on a wide variety of media and objects in full colour, print service providers can capture revenue from a wide range of application. The Arizona 1280 XT includes White ink for printing on non-white or transparent media and Varnish for access to high value applications using spot varnish. Enjoy offering applications including standard sign and display (POP/POS, retail signage and backlit signs), through to specialist applications where the decorated substrate is not meant primarily for display purposes, e.g. package prototyping, short run and custom packaging, membrane switch overlays, relief printing, and object decoration. Maximise revenues by creating complete full mixed-media campaigns with just one Arizona 1280 XT.

Unique Technology

VariaDot grayscale imaging technology
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 deliver the smoothest highlights and quartertones for fine art and photographic applications, or the proven CM² ink configuration for fast and smooth production printing as demanded by sign and display applications, or White and Varnish for superb application versatility. 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.
