  • Page 22 Océ | Product Overview Risks Associated with Handling Inks The Arizona 600 printer uses solvent-based inks; the liquid and the fumes are combustible. The inks may cause eye irritation or skin irritation upon prolonged or repeated contact. The inks may be absorbed through the skin and may cause respiratory system irritation and nervous system impairment.

  • Page 23: Ink System

    Ink System Handling Inks The Arizona 600 printer uses solvent-based pigmented inks in cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), black (K), light magenta (LM) and light cyan (LC) in 1-gallon (3.78-liter) replaceable supply bottles for 5500-series and 6600-series inks. The 440-series inks are in 3-liter bottles.

    Conserve Media – Default “ON” When the Océ Arizona 600 printer begins each new print, it will rewind the media to minimize waste. Certain media may have difficulty rewinding and will wrinkle in the process. This is primarily evident in very thin media or adhesive-backed substrates that are malformed by the heat required to dry the inks during the printing process.
