BERTL 4-star Highly Recommended award for Océ CPS800 Platinum, CPS900 Platinum and Océ Colour Production Tandems
Océ CPS systems have the productivity to match much larger, costlier printers and digital presses
Venlo, the Netherlands, 16 October 2006—Océ has received a BERTL 4-star Highly Recommended award for the Océ CPS800 Platinum, CPS900 Platinum and the Océ CPT Colour Production Tandem systems. The award follows extensive testing and technical evaluation of the Océ systems by the Digital Production Division of BERTL, the US-based publisher of news, research and analysis on digital imaging systems. The outcome proves that these systems have the productivity to keep up with much larger, costlier digital printers, even though these may have nominally higher print speeds. Colour consistency of the Océ systems was also highlighted in BERTL's report, even across multiple Océ CPS systems and different job printing times and locations.
Consistently high, trouble-free productivity
Minimal need for user intervention
No daily maintenance or routine technician visits
The offset-like 'look & feel' that print professionals demand
Consistent colour output without daily calibration
Consistent colour output across multiple systems, times and locations
Handle a wide range of media including textured and embossed papers
Easy-to-handle print output for trouble-free finishing
Multiple Océ CPS systems can be combined cost-effectively in a CPT Tandem system
Both the Océ CPS800 Platinum and CPS900 Platinum systems have an engine speed of 30 A4 impressions per minute, and 34 A4 impressions per minute on A3-size media for all supported media weights. In addition, and unlike other traditional printers, the Océ systems can duplex in a single cycle at the same speed and up to the highest media weights. Productivity is further enhanced by the printers' reliable, easy-to-use functions that require minimal user intervention.
Press the 'green button' and walk away
For example users can load a job, press the 'green button' and walk away, knowing that the printer will alert them when paper needs to be replenished. Neither printer requires daily maintenance or calibration, nor routine visits by technicians. In fact, with the proven Océ Direct Imaging and Océ Copy Press technologies, Océ has eliminated the complexities that cause repeated problems and production interruptions with conventional digital printers and presses.
The result is that the Océ CPS800 Platinum, CPS900 Platinumand Océ Colour Production Tandem systems have the consistent capability for uninterrupted production of large print volumes in high-productivity environments.
Offset-like 'look & feel'
Vitally important for digital print producers is the high output quality of the Océ systems, resulting in a fully offset-comparable 'look & feel'. Both systems are the first 7-colour digital printers with simultaneous CMYK and RGB. This creates a single toner monolayer which is literally pressed into the paper. The systems can also run a wide variety of media, including textured and embossed papers. Print output is easy to handle for finishing, with no toner cracking when folding and trouble-free laminating and varnishing.
The productivity, reliability and output quality of the Océ systems make them an excellent choice for high-volume corporate printrooms, commercial printers and marketing services. In the Digital Print world, time means making or losing money on a minute-by-minute basis. That makes productivity, reliability, quality, efficiency, ease of use and high throughput at low stress levels all mission critical factors for print professionals. In most cases, constantly buying the latest and fastest systems is not an option because it is too costly and technologies change too rapidly. Instead, the Océ CPS and CPT systems meet companies' needs for expandable solutions which are productive today and will remain productive over a long lifecycle.
The Océ Colour Production Systems bring high-end colour press capabilities at a lower investment level and lower cost of ownership than costlier high-end digital presses. They also score over these conventional solutions by their uncomplicated, trouble-free operation which is the key to their high productivity. When needed, print professionals can combine two or more Océ CPS systems in a CPT Colour Production Tandem system, enabling productivity to be doubled or even tripled highly cost-effectively and preserving colour consistency. The systems can be linked by Océ PRISMA software to create robust, highly productive solutions with high flexibility and advanced load-sharing and colour splitting capabilities.
