Powerful continuous feed, full-color press handles over five million images
a month
CHICAGO, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Oce, a global leader in digital
document management and delivery, announces the worldwide debut of the Oce
ColorStream(TM) 10000 continuous feed, full-color digital press at Graph
Expo(R). Developed specifically for the Graphic Arts market, the new Oce
ColorStream 10000 press (http://www.oceusa.com/flexibility) delivers
full-process color with the quality levels required to meet virtually every
color requirement.
Demonstrating Oce digital color leadership, the 172 images per minute
(ipm) Oce ColorStream 10000 press can power through over five million
full-color, letter-size images a month, making it one of the world's
fastest toner-based full color presses. The heavy-duty continuous feed
capacity can easily absorb the volume of multiple cut-sheet color printers.
As a result, operations can consolidate their resources into fewer but more
productive color devices with higher quality. With monochrome jobs running
at 852 ipm and jobs that mix color and monochrome pages, the duty cycle
goes even higher, providing the flexibility customers require.
"The introduction of the Oce ColorStream 10000 demonstrates yet another
area where Oce is leading the industry by taking color printing beyond the
ordinary," said Jan Dix, Executive Vice President, Oce Digital Document
Systems. "As the first digital color press in its class designed for the
Graphic Arts environment, the Oce ColorStream 10000 defines a new category
for full-color digital printers. The combination of high quality full-color
and monochrome flexibility, continuous feed productivity, dynamic pricing,
and production speeds opens new opportunities for digital color
applications in the Graphic Arts marketplace."
The toner-based Oce ColorStream 10000 is designed to deliver the high
quality color that Graphic Arts professionals expect. Further value comes
from built-in Oce GraphicArts dot modulation for brilliantly sharp
reproduction of both black and white and color images. Applications are
enriched with crisp graphics and smooth gradations for line art,
illustrations and photos. The imaging technique changes the dot size to
achieve precise Graphic Arts quality. For completely controllable,
customizable black and white output, Oce FlexiDark(R) technology allows
optical density to be adjusted according to the requirements of the
application, while maintaining even coverage and perfect consistency. The
tight continuous feed paper web ensures total media control and excellent
registration on every printed document.
Representing a milestone in the evolution of the Oce color strategy,
the Oce ColorStream 10000 system extends the Oce Job Appropriate Color(R)
concept to include full-process color for the Graphic Arts market. "With
Oce Job Appropriate Color, customers can choose from a complete line of
color products that deliver just the right amount of color at the right
price point based on business objectives and the requirements of each job,
" said Mal Baboyian, President, Oce North America, Inc. Commercial Printing
Division. "As customers embrace the value of Job Appropriate Color, the new
Oce ColorStream 10000 system meets their needs at the higher end of color
applications, while providing a solution for excellent spot and monochrome
output as well."
Expanding Opportunities for Color Work
This full-color workhorse meets all the requirements of the Graphic
Arts market for quality, productivity and cost. It lets print professionals
respond to expanding requirements for high quality color, including the
popular personalized applications that are fueling growth in the commercial
printing industry. The Oce ColorStream 10000 can easily handle jobs that
weren't previously affordable or even possible on one system, such as
printing the first few pages of a document in color and the next 50 pages
in black and white. Graphic Arts professionals can now maximize their
investment in color devices by also generating revenue from top quality,
cost-effective black and white and highlight color jobs.
The system can print on almost any stock, from lightweight media to
newspaper to heavy and glossy paper. Oce PRISMA(TM) software complements
the Oce ColorStream 10000 with pre-press capabilities, document design,
interoperability, and output and job management for highly productive
Graphic Arts workflow. In Booth 655 at Graph Expo, the Oce ColorStream
10000 a variety of bi- and multi-level black-and-white images and fifteen
different four-color images.
Dynamic Pricing Supports Job Appropriate Color Printing
With dynamic pricing, a single Oce ColorStream 10000 prints full color
at its appropriate cost and monochrome output at black and white speeds and
costs. The black-to-full-color digital printer has the ability to change
speeds and costs automatically, on demand, per application, and within an
application. Dynamic pricing guarantees cost-effective Job Appropriate
Color printing driven by application requirements, and not dictated by
technology.
Early shipments of the Oce ColorStream 10000 are expected in the first
quarter of 2008.
