September 10, 2009 – Trumbull CT – Océ, an international leader in digital document management and delivery, today debuted the Océ PRISMAcolorworks digital front end enabled by CREO Color Server Technology for the Océ ColorStream 10000 system at Print 09.

The familiar interface, color management, CREO Color Server workflow, and robust image processing allow smooth integration into established operations.
Variable communications are fueling some of the strongest growth in the printing industry. The Océ PRISMAcolorworks server meets the demand for flexible, full color variable data printing to benefit commercial print providers and the direct mail industry. The server supports a wide range of variable data printing formats, including PPML and VPS.
Often, customers in the graphic arts market must support a combination of offset and digital workflows.
