New Océ ColorStream 10000 offers exceptional color quality designed for Graphic Arts industry
Powerful continuous feed, full-color press handles over five million images a month
Océ, a global leader in digital document management and delivery, announces the worldwide debut of the Océ ColorStream® 10000 continuous feed, full-color digital press. Developed specifically for the Graphic Arts market, the new Océ ColorStream 10000 press delivers full-process color with the quality levels required to meet virtually every color requirement.
Demonstrating Océ digital color leadership, the 168 A4 images per minute (ipm) Océ ColorStream 10000 press can power through over five million full-color images a month. The heavy-duty continuous feed capacity can easily absorb the volume of multiple cut-sheet color printers. As a result, operations can consolidate their resources into fewer but more productive color devices with higher quality. With monochrome jobs running at 800 ipm and jobs that mix color and monochrome pages, the duty cycle goes even higher, providing the flexibility customers require. 
"The introduction of the Océ ColorStream 10000 demonstrates yet another area where Océ is leading the industry by taking color printing beyond the ordinary," says Sebastian Landesberger, Chief Executive Officer Océ Printing Systems GmbH. "As the first digital color press in its class designed for the Graphic Arts environment, the Océ ColorStream 10000 defines a new category for full-color digital printers. The combination of high quality full-color and monochrome flexibility, continuous feed productivity, dynamic pricing, and production speeds opens new opportunities for digital black & white and color applications in the Graphic Arts marketplace."
The toner-based Océ ColorStream 10000 is designed to deliver the high quality color that Graphic Arts professionals expect. Further value comes from built-in Océ GraphicArts dot modulation for brilliantly sharp reproduction of both black & white and color images. Applications such as books or catalogs are enriched with crisp graphics and smooth gradations for line art, illustrations and photos. The imaging technique changes the dot size to achieve precise Graphic Arts quality. For completely controllable, customizable black & white output, Océ FlexiDark® technology allows optical density to be adjusted according to the requirements of the application, while maintaining even coverage and perfect consistency. The tight continuous feed paper web ensures total media control and excellent registration on every printed document.
Expanding opportunities for color work
This full-color workhorse meets all the requirements of the Graphic Arts market for quality, productivity and cost. It lets print professionals respond to expanding requirements for high quality color, including the popular personalized applications that are fueling growth in the commercial printing industry. The Océ ColorStream 10000 can easily handle jobs that were not previously affordable or even possible on one system, such as printing the first few pages of a document in color and the next 50 pages in black & white. Graphic Arts professionals can now maximize their investment in color devices by also generating revenue from top quality, cost-effective black & white jobs.
The system can print on almost any stock, from lightweight media to newspaper to heavy and glossy paper. OcéPRISMA® software complements the Océ ColorStream 10000 with prepress capabilities, document design, interoperability, and output and job management for highly productive Graphic Arts workflow.
Early shipments of the Océ ColorStream 10000 are expected in the first quarter of 2008.
