Venlo, The Netherlands, 26 September 2011 – Océ, an international leader in digital document management and delivery, today announced that the Océ Home of Color Business Days, the company’s premium production printing customer event, will welcome a select clientele of customers at the Océ Poing Technology Hub on 28 and 29 September. Themed “Go for color”, the event will stress the industry’s prevailing trend.
The graphics industry is changing fast, customers want shorter runs, just-in-time delivery and individualized content. Océ, a leading provider of high-performance color printing and document management, takes the lead and puts solutions ready-to-market on its recent event for a selected group of publishers and print providers.
The Océ Color Business Days will demonstrate how short runs can be produced economically. Dynamically generated print products on display will give evidence how production efficiency can be improved and turnarounds will be increased while at the same time cost and speed are kept under control.
Migration from monochrome to color and the move from analog to digital printing are most relevant business decisions for corporate organizations and service providers. The Océ Color Business Days will have high-speed data printing for transaction and TransPromo on show, premium direct mail and loyalty as well as trade applications.
