From the latest high volume monochrome and full color inkjet production systems, to award-winning cut-sheet duplex devices and versatile color engines, to advanced Océ workflow software, the Océ booth offers a wealth of solutions for the on-demand marketplace.
Making its US debut at the ON DEMAND conference, the new Océ VarioStream® 8000 high-speed, continuous feed, monochrome and highlight color series is ideal for a wide range of environments and industries. The Océ VarioStream 8000 series builds on the popular features of the Océ VarioStream 7000 family, with additional speed and versatility. It offers the further advantage of a solid foundation for upgrading as needs and markets change. No other printer in its class provides Océ CustomTone® printing, MICR output and simplex, duplex and triplex technology in one package. ON DEMAND attendees can see this state-of-the-art system running a high-volume, black and white financial statement. Today’s popular transpromo applications are also represented in a variable black and highlight color document application.
The award-winning Océ VarioPrint® 6000 series comes to the show fresh from its latest recognition, a rare BERTL® “Beyond 5 Stars” rating. This revolutionary product family pushes duplex productivity to new heights, with powerful Océ Gemini Instant Duplex technology for outstanding quality in cut-sheet documents. Attendees can learn more about the prestigious BERTL Award by obtaining a copy of the BERTL report printed live at the ON DEMAND conference. The 24-sheet report includes an inserted color preprinted front and back cover with side staple finishing. Demonstrating the printer’s halftone quality, the system will produce a 31-sheet Quality Book, including an inserted, preprinted Océ VarioPrint 12-page family brochure. The front and back covers use special textured stock with side staple finishing. Attendees will witness the blazing speed of the Océ VarioPrint system as they watch production of a “Less-than-a-Minute Speedbook.” The 96-sheet application includes front and back covers on special textured stock. In a demonstration of the system’s near perfect front-to-back print registration, a one-sheet application on 16 lb bond sheet shows a forward and reverse image on the front and back of the page. Attendees interested in other Océ VarioPrint applications can see an informational saddle-stitched “Guide to Boston” booklet printed on an Océ VarioPrint 6160 and finished on a BLM200 booklet maker in the Plockmatic International Booth 1062.
The remarkable capabilities of the new Océ JetStream™ family are being demonstrated remotely via digital viewing to give the ON DEMAND audience a detailed first look at this revolutionary technology. The breakthrough continuous feed ink-jet system delivers full process, professional quality color at 500 feet per minute. Output samples of the highest quality will further showcase the latest in high speed, full color inkjet production printing. Service bureaus and other attendees will see how the next generation of Océ Job Appropriate Color® strategy can take their business beyond the ordinary.
The powerful Océ CS 650 Pro 65 ppm color production printing system brings in-plant and commercial print providers cost-effective, high-quality production color printing capabilities. In addition to applications showcasing inline finishing, various color reference sheets are being printed to illustrate the machine's outstanding color accuracy. An inline perfect binder will be part of the workflow producing a 120-page full color Taco® Marine catalog of boat hardware in US letter-size format.
