New Models Expand Océ Color Inkjet Line
June 2, 2008
Océ announced the introduction
of three new models in the groundbreaking high-speed Océ JetStream
full-color inkjet line. The Océ JetStream family now offers high
quality full-color output speeds ranging from 675 to 2,700 A4
impressions per minute (ipm), with easy upgradeability throughout the
family.
The Océ JetStream series redefined productivity and quality
standards for ultra-high-volume, full-color production printing when it
was introduced in 2007. The newly expanded Océ JetStream portfolio is
positioned to meet customer requirements in terms of color quality,
speed and duty cycles. The latest models expand the entry points for
print operations that want to adopt the Océ JetStream platform for
direct mail, transaction, TransPromo and other applications needing
fast, outstanding black and white or color quality. The groundbreaking
series was launched in 2007 with the 492 feet per minute (fpm) Océ
JetStream 1100 single-engine system and the Océ JetStream 2200 twin
system. Now the Océ JetStream 1100 and Océ JetStream 2200 models are
joined by the new Océ JetStream 750, Océ JetStream 1500 and Océ
JetStream 3000 systems.
With its 328 fpm speed, the new Océ JetStream 750 system is
the entry-level model in the Océ JetStream family. It can deliver up to
714 full color letter-size ipm at 600x600 dpi. The new Océ JetStream
1500 produces 1,428 full-color letter-size ipm in two-up duplex format.
Rounding out the family at the high end is the new Océ
JetStream 3000 system at 656 fpm with a resolution of 480x600 dpi,
making it the one of the world’s fastest full-color digital printers in
its class. The Océ JetStream 3000 system can blaze through jobs at a
rate of 2,865 full-color letter-size ipm in two-up duplex format. This
is equivalent to a duty cycle of up to 86 million pages per month and a
monthly paper throughput of more than twenty million feet per month.
The new Océ JetStream 3000 system can deliver 600x600 dpi at 150 mpm
providing additional flexibility to meet customer requirements for
exceptional quality. The series uses Océ DigiDot™ piezoelectric inkjet
technology, which varies drop sizes to deliver brilliant images,
smoother halftones, stunning color and superior page coverage.
“The market response to the Océ JetStream platform has been
very good. Customers now have a wider range of options to help grow
their business with full color inkjet printing. The attractive price
point of the Océ JetStream technology enables advanced color
capabilities that are in high demand in the marketplace,” said
Sebastian Landesberger, Executive Vice President Production Printing.
“As with the other Océ JetStream models, the new systems are
upgradeable, ensuring investment protection as well as room to expand
capabilities. With the Océ JetStream family, customers can be confident
that the Océ platform can grow with them. A customer could actually
launch their full-color inkjet services with an Océ JetStream 750
system and grow into the maximum speed of an Océ JetStream 3000
system.”
Powered by an Océ SRA MP controller, Océ JetStream printers
are designed for seamless integration with industry-standard workflows
and the rigorous demands and data rates of high-speed full-color
printing. As a result, companies will find it easier to launch new
applications such as personalization and TransPromo documents into
existing IPDS workflows and document processes. With powerful Océ
PRISMA® workflow software and connectivity to other proven front-end
products, the Océ JetStream system performs in any environment without
changing the workflow set up.
The Océ JetStream systems offer an integrated roll-to-roll
configuration with a tight web for precise registration and control.
Paper processing options include a cross perforation device for folding
and a punch unit for pin feed holes. Optional roll slitter and folding
units increase finishing options. Integrated finishing allows seamless
workflow automation for uninterrupted production.
Océ JetStream systems are already in use for direct mail,
transaction and other applications. Service bureaus, graphic arts
operations, direct mail houses, offset printers and other commercial
and corporate printers can deliver full-color, variable data output
with exceptional quality at high speeds and maximum productivity.
Customers benefit from lower operating costs, longer uptime and a wider
range of paper choices than comparable products.
