Oce Introduces Full-Color CMYK Oce VarioStream®
9240 to US Market
BOSTON, April 17 // -- Oce (NASDAQ:OCENY), a global leader in digital document management and delivery solutions, introduces the US market to the full-color Oce VarioStream 9240, the latest in the black and color-capable Oce VarioStream 9000 series. The Oce VarioStream 9240 is a four- color printing press with single-pass duplexing that delivers 172 letter-size full- color pages per minute -- one of the fastest full-color toner-based digital printing presses on the market.
Designed to deliver Oce Job Appropriate Color(TM), the Oce 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.
"Oce 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 Oce 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, Oce North American Commercial Printing Division. "Delivering on our commitment to investment protection, the Oce 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 Oce 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 Oce VarioStream 9240 operates with maximum cost efficiency no matter what the application. Oce 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. Oce PRISMA(TM) workflow software complements the Oce VarioStream 9240 with more productivity for pre-press and document design, high volume production management, interoperability, online proofing and more.
