Its revolutionary new Dynamic Switching Technology automatically optimises print speed and print quality when printing lines, text, and images in the same document.

The Océ TCS500 harnesses the power of concurrent processing, printing, copying and scanning to make it the most productive large format colour CAD print system on the market and a top choice for producing quantities of large format technical documents such as detailed CAD line drawings and complex GIS files.

The Océ TCS500 is the successor to the proven Océ TCS400 – the first truly integrated colour print/copy/scan system for large format technical documents.

It is ideally suited for inkjet users who need more print throughput than their current printer provides and for users transitioning from the combination of an older monochrome device, traditional inkjet colour plotter and standalone scanner.

With the Océ TCS500, organisations now have a cost-effective growth path to meet their changing demands.

“It’s the best of all worlds,” explained Sal Sheikh, vice president, Marketing, Océ Wide Format Printing Systems division of Océ North America.

“Customers don’t have to forego quality for fast turnaround time, which is generally the case with other colour CAD printers. With the Océ TCS500, there is no trade-off between crisp, rich colour output and the ability to meet uncompromising deadlines. Large format CAD and GIS users get one machine doing the work of many – faster than they ever thought possible.”

The Océ TCS500’s ability to handle today’s increasing volume of colour technical documents, coupled with its fast, convenient handling of monochrome jobs, brings many benefits to total large format workflow in several key areas – productivity, quality, ease of use and reliability.

The new Océ TCS500 is unsurpassed in overall productivity. It provides true concurrency – robust processing, printing, copying and scanning simultaneously – resulting in bottom-line timesavings and measurable productivity benefits.
Fast, high throughput is evident in the Océ TCS500’s ability to deliver an E-size colour CAD line drawing in just 60 seconds and only 40 seconds for monochrome.

Operators can even change media and ink cartridges without interrupting workflow while the system is printing – a feature unique to Océ technology – to maximise time spent focusing on core business functions instead of tending to equipment.
Furthermore, the powerful Oce Power Logic® Controller with its 80 GB hard disk capacity processes files extremely fast and processes the next file while the current one is printing, minimising delays and waiting time aggravations.

Users gain true workhorse productivity – up to 900 feet of media can be printed without a roll change, and the unique copy receiving rack professionally stacks up to 200 E-size prints for unattended or overnight printing.

No longer does a user have to sacrifice print speed for print quality, thanks to Océ’s new Dynamic Switching technology. This revolutionary new technology guarantees the optimum trade-off automatically without additional adjustments by the operator.

Whether the original contains lines and text, images, or both, Océ Dynamic Switching Technology eliminates any guesswork in choosing the correct print setting or the need to choose multiple, complex print settings.

Sheikh says that by automatically “sensing” each part of a mixed image (from fine lines to photographs and everything in between) and determining the best print quality and print speed for these individual areas, Océ Dynamic Switching Technology delivers optimum print quality without sacrificing productivity.

In addition, thanks to the proven Océ Image Logic® technology, copy quality can even be better than that of the original. A range of convenient colour management modes gives users complete control of their colour output.

Users benefit from a fully integrated solution that is as easy to use as monochrome systems. The advanced job submission software allows even the most complex jobs to be easily created, stored and loaded without having to open the native application.

Scanning or copying large format, hard copy originals and colour mark-ups are easy with the Océ Green Button “one touch” approach. In addition, an intuitive control panel allows users to create job templates, which saves time in handling recurring copy and scan jobs.

Complex operations can be performed with just the push of a single button. Finally, with the Advanced Queue Manager, operators have full view and control of all pending and active jobs.
