Océ Introduces Full-Color CMYK Océ VarioStream 9240 to US Market
Customers gain the benefit of full color, spot color and black all in one digital press
April 16, 2007, Boston, MA – Océ (NASDAQ: OCENY), a global leader in digital document management and delivery solutions, introduces the US market to the full-color Océ VarioStream ® 9240, the latest in the black and color-capable Océ VarioStream 9000 series. The Océ VarioStream 9240 is a four-color press with single-pass duplexing that delivers 172 letter-size full-color pages per minute – one of the fastest full-color toner-based digital presses on the market.
Designed to deliver Océ Job Appropriate ColorTM, the Océ VarioStream 9240 operates with maximum cost efficiency for black and white, one or two spot colors, or CMYK four-color process printing. Users pay for only what they print while gaining the added flexibility of using only one machine running at appropriate speeds. Even when fully configured as a four-color press, the system can still print monochrome documents at 852 prints per minute, and two- and three-color documents at 353 and 231 prints per minute, respectively. This uniquely flexible approach enables customers to run a wider range of jobs on fewer machines with greater utilization of the machine.
"Océ is delivering on the commitment we made when we first introduced the VarioStream 9000 series three years ago to add additional color capability to it each year. The full-color Océ VarioStream 9240 completes our Job Appropriate Color strategy for this line. This multi-function printer makes black, spot color and full color available when you need it. No other printer has the ability to change speeds and costs automatically, on demand, per application as well as within an application," said Joyce Virnich, Vice President, Marketing, Océ North American Commercial Printing Division. "Delivering on our commitment to investment protection, the Océ VarioStream 9000 is field upgradeable. Customers who already have a one-, two- or three-color models can easily upgrade to the full-color version, while retaining complete flexibility."
"The flexibility to print in black, highlight or full color makes the VarioStream 9240 the color-capable machine a lot of transactional and direct mail operations have been waiting for," said Noel Ward, Managing Director, On Demand Publishing. "Any transactional or direct mailer looking to get into color printing should take a close look at the VarioStream 9240." The Océ VarioStream 9240 is well suited for applications needing full color design such as direct mail, newspapers, books, transpromo documents and other print-for-pay jobs. Its groundbreaking printing of complex color content reproduces illustrations, tables and graphics without compromising fine detail.
Exemplifying the concept of Job Appropriate Color, the new Océ VarioStream 9240 operates with maximum cost efficiency no matter what the application. Océ Job Appropriate Color offers an innovative balance between color use and cost. The document producer decides what level of color is right for the job, and the flexible system ensures that the right amount of color is deployed to achieve the intended outcome. This delivers significant savings over dedicated color printing systems, without compromising on quality. Océ PRISMATM workflow software complements the Océ VarioStream 9240 with more productivity for pre-press and document design, high volume production management, interoperability, online proofing and more.
About the Océ VarioStream 9000 Series
The Océ VarioStream 9000 series lets customers grow into color applications by investing in a basic solution and gradually expand it as their requirements evolve. The printing systems can be combined with a variety of pre- and post-processing modules, and their UP³I® capability integrates them perfectly into highly automated production lines. With their ability to handle such a wide range of applications, the Océ VarioStream 9000 systems are equally at home in commercial and in corporate printing environments – at graphic arts companies and print service providers as well as in banks, insurance companies and public administration.
The Océ VarioStream 9000 series can be equipped with Océ CustomTone® technology, providing a wide range of ready-made and mixed-to-order custom colors. This efficient custom color solution is ideal for applications that have to match corporate identity guidelines or include a particular spot color. Another added-value feature of the Océ VarioStream 9000 series is Graphic Arts Plus dot modulation, a special imaging technique that delivers brilliantly sharp reproduction for black and white images by varying the luminescence of each LED – over 11,000 in all – in the image generator. The outcome: images can be printed with much more photorealism.
