    Arizona Printer Inks Arizona Printer Inks Introduction Océ Arizona 6100 Series printers use a uniquely formulated UV-curable ink, referred to as Océ IJC261. These inks are easy to maintain, with the use of the Automated Printhead Maintenance System and require only a weekly physical cleaning to ensure a long useful life. The Océ IJC261 inks require small jetting actions ("spitting") between printing times to keep the printheads in a ready-to-print state.
  • Page 127 Arizona Printer Inks the reservoirs on demand. Sensors in the reservoirs control the level of ink and initiate demand when required. Ink temperature control is achieved by pumping a coolant fluid through the printheads. An internal thermostat on each printhead provides temperature feedback. The condition of the printheads is maintained by automatic periodic cleaning.
