Alongside will be the Océ ColorWave 600 digital wide format printer, featuring the new Océ CrystalPoint technology, which delivers high quality on plain and recycled paper with appeal to a wide selection of markets, notably print-for-pay, CAD and GIS, according to Océ.

The company continues that users can produce a wide range of applications, including plan printing, mapping, business graphics and point of sale that can be printed at speeds of up to half a minute per square metre allowing them to deliver quantity as well as quality.

The company will also debut the Océ ProCut complete flatbed digital cutting table and software system, which Océ says streamlines large format workflow – from prepress to finishing – of rigid and flexible media requiring cutting.

Océ ProCut is an automated finishing system that can be used to optimize simple trimming tasks for rigid substrates such as hard and soft foam board, plastic material, acrylic and styrene, and flexible media including paper, film, vinyl and fabric, according to the company.

Herbert Kieleithner, marketing manager for Océ’s Production Printing division says the uptake of digital colour by the printing industry has been the most significant trend over the past two years.

He says, “Companies which don’t invest heavily in digital colour risk being left behind by this trend. Océ recognised this some years ago and we are now well positioned to offer high quality colour in most niches of the market.”
