Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Canon Arizona 1280 GT is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a sign and display shop printing 500-2,000 sq ft a day on rigid substrates.
  • You need photo-quality output on rigid (POP, fine art, photo enlargements, exhibition panels).
  • You want the 8-channel config with both light cyan and light magenta for smoother gradients in skin tones, skies, and product photography.
  • You also need white ink and clear varnish — 8 channels means you don't have to swap configs between jobs.
  • You're moving up from a 1260 GT and want the same chassis with two more channels for color depth.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 2,000-3,500 sq ft a day — works fine, but you'll be pushing the 1280 GT past its sweet spot. The 1340/1360 GT step up throughput.
  • You don't really need LC/LM (you're printing solid-color signage, not photo work) — the 1260 GT does the same job for less.
  • You print on roll media as well as rigid — the optional Roll Media Option bolts on without changing workflow.
  • You're consolidating a photo-quality flatbed plus a sign-grade flatbed into one machine — the 8-channel 1280 GT does both.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print over 4,000 sq ft a day — get the 1340 GT, 1360 GT, or 6160 XTHF for production volume.
  • You only print solid-color signage — LC/LM ink doesn't earn its keep. Buy the 1260 GT.
  • You need pieces larger than 49.2 x 98.4 in. — get the 1280 XT (8 x 10 ft bed) instead.
  • You don't have a calibrated color workflow (RIP profiles, ICC profiles, hardware proofing) — you're paying for color depth you can't reproduce.
  • You're a one-person shop — the 1280 GT needs trained operators and meaningful weekly volume to pay back.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Canon (Oce) Arizona 1280 GT is the 8-channel mid-volume true UV flatbed printer in the Arizona 1200 series, aimed at sign and display shops that need both production-grade signage and photo-grade rigid output from one machine. It uses the same 1,250 x 2,500 mm (49.2 x 98.4 in.) flatbed and the same VariaDot piezoelectric printhead architecture as the 1260 GT, but with two more channels — typically configured CMYK + LC/LM + white + varnish — for smoother gradients in skin tones, skies, and product photography, plus white and clear in the same setup. Top speed is 33.6 m²/hr (~362 sq ft/hr) in Express mode, dropping to ~14 m²/hr (~150 sq ft/hr) in Quality and ~7 m²/hr in Quality-layered for double-pass jobs. Variable droplet sizes from 6 to 42 picoliters give it visual quality in the 1,440 dpi class. UV-LED instant curing, no warm-up. We sell the 1280 GT to shops doing 500-2,000 sq ft a day across a mix of POP, fine art reproductions, retail signage, and short-run packaging mockups. Buyers who regret it usually didn't need the LC/LM channels (the 1260 GT would have been the better buy) or are pushing past 4,000 sq ft a day, where the 1340 GT or 6160 XTHF Mark II is the right tool.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 3 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging Canon machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "We use this for our print shop and the color accuracy is really solid, especially for textiles. Setup took a bit longer than expected but the support team walked us through it. Definitely worth the investment if you're doing production work."
  • ★ "We use this for our print shop and it handles the large format work consistently. Color accuracy is solid for most jobs, and the speed keeps up with our daily volume without jamming issues."
  • ★ "Got one for my small design business and it's been reliable for the past year. Only complaint is the learning curve on the software, but once you get it dialed in the output quality is worth it."

FAQ

Canon Arizona 1280 GT, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

The Canon Arizona 1280 GT does not use traditional toner. Instead, it uses UV-curable ink bags, including two-liter bags for CMYK and Light Cyan/Light Magenta inks, and one-liter bags for white and varnish inks. These ink bags are designed for high-volume production with minimal waste and downtime. When you lease through us with ink included, you never pay for ink separately.
The Canon Arizona 1280 GT features an 8-channel ink configuration (CMYK + LC/LM + white + varnish) for smoother gradients and photo-quality output, while the 1240 GT is a 4-channel CMYK-only model. The 1280 GT is optimized for shops needing high-color-depth work like fine art or product photography, whereas the 1240 GT is designed for basic signage and is field-upgradeable to add white, varnish, or light inks later. Both share the same 4 x 8 ft bed size, but the 1280 GT offers higher color fidelity out of the box. For small offices, the 1240 GT may be more cost-effective if advanced color features aren't required.
The Canon Arizona 1280 GT is designed for sign and display shops printing 500-2,000 sq ft daily, making it overkill for most small businesses. Its industrial size (183.5 x 78.7 inches), power requirements (208-240 VAC), and need for trained operators make it unsuitable for low-volume or general office use. Small businesses with lighter printing needs should consider a more compact, office-friendly model.
Yes, the Canon Arizona 1280 GT is a full-color printer with an 8-channel configuration (CMYK + Light Cyan/Light Magenta + white + varnish). It delivers high-quality color output with smooth gradients, making it ideal for photo-grade rigid prints, fine art reproductions, and retail signage.
