Océ VariaDot™ Image Technology
The Océ Arizona 350 GT printer offers improved print quality and ink
economy through the use of Océ VariaDot imaging technology, which
according to Océ is the next evolution in piezoelectric inkjet technology that
enables a print head to produce droplets of varying volume. This differs from
the current piezoelectric print head technology that is restricted to the use of
fixed droplets. The use of variable sized droplets results in dots on the media
of varying size (area) and density, which in turn allows the use of four-color
(CMYK) printing for all image features.
Océ VariaDot imaging technology allows piezoelectric print heads to produce
droplets of varying volume on demand. The Océ Arizona 350 GT printer can
vary the droplet from 6 picoliters to 42 picoliters. This allows the optional

each specific image feature. When imaging fine detail such as small type or
fine lines, very small droplets can be used. When imaging areas of tonal
transition or quarter-tone values such as skin tones, drops of medium volume
can be used. When printing areas of high density, such as solid colors, then
the printer can use large droplets.
With a typical investment cost of close to $200,000 with options and typical
billable printing hours of 3.25 hours per day, the payback time for an
investment in the Océ Arizona 350 GT printer is only 1.5 months, making it a
highly attractive investment.
