Océ JetStream sets new standard for ultra high speed, full-color inkjet printing
New color inkjet product platform offers unmatched quality and productivity
Océ, a global leader in digital document management and delivery, introduces the groundbreaking high speed Océ JetStream color inkjet printing system. Distinguished by Océ DigiDot technology, the new series redefines productivity and quality standards for ultra high volume, full-color production printing.
A hefty duty cycle handles well over 60 million impressions per month, allowing an average monthly capacity of more than 4.5 million meters of paper, with a maximum of 5.5 million meters. Offering unprecedented versatility, ease of use and integration into existing workflows, the new Océ JetStream is distinguished by total flexibility as well as raw speed.
"The new Océ JetStream systems offer many advantages over other high-volume color inkjet printers. By focusing on integration, operation and uptime, the Océ JetStream delivers significantly higher productivity than competing systems," says Sebastian Landesberger, Chief Executive Officer Océ Printing Systems GmbH. "The new series is expected to lead its category in flexibility, quality and speed."
Target markets: direct mail and transaction segments
The Océ JetStream systems offer lower operating costs, longer uptime and a wider range of paper choices than comparable products in this class. Service bureaus, letter shops, and other commercial and corporate printers can deliver full-color variable data output with exceptional quality at high speeds and maximum productivity.
Building on Océ Job Appropriate Color strategy
The Océ JetStream series joins an impressive line-up of Océ digital color solutions and extends the Océ Job Appropriate Color strategy to the ultra high speed inkjet market. Customers can use just the right amount of color to meet the business objective of the application. Along with the Océ VarioStream 9240 and Océ ColorStream 10000 systems, the Océ JetStream provides customers with a complete range of price, print quality, speed and duty cycles for their full color requirements.
Groundbreaking JetStream offers choices
The groundbreaking series includes the Océ JetStream 1100 single-engine system and the Océ JetStream 2200 twin system. The Océ JetStream 1100 system delivers full process color at 150 meters per minute. With a print width of 20.3" and paper width of 20.5", the Océ JetStream 1100 system can produce up to 1,026 A4 page impressions per minute in simplex format. Exclusive to the Océ JetStream 1100 system is duplex printing with a single engine at up to 1,026 A4 page impressions per minute. By using a narrow web (9.5" or 242 mm max.), the Océ JetStream 1100 system can print on one side, then turn the form and print the back on the same engine without a loss in speed or performance.
The two-engine Océ JetStream 2200 system prints full process color at speeds up to 150 meters per minute. With a print width of 20.3" and paper width of 20.5", the Océ JetStream 2200 system can produce up to 2,052 A4 page impressions per minute in 2-up duplex format. The Océ JetStream 1100 version is fully upgradable to the Océ JetStream 2200 model.
The secret of high speed, high quality inkjet output
The Océ JetStream uses state-of-the-art Océ DigiDot piezoelectric drop-on-demand inkjet technology. It produces small, variable drop sizes resulting in higher quality images, smoother half tones and stunning color with less ink and no waste. The variable drop sizes let users change the density of any application to best suit the job and media, resulting in page coverage superior to competitive systems. Océ DigiDot technology also promotes error-free post-processing, because the printing doesn't cause the paper to curl. The print heads are designed to minimize operator intervention for cleaning and maintenance. The print heads have the longest head life in the industry, resulting in even more productive, uninterrupted uptime.
New controller for maximum processing power
Powered by the new Océ SRA MP controller, Océ JetStream printers are designed for seamless integration with industry-standard workflow, as well as for the rigorous demands and data rates of high-speed full-color printing. As a result, companies will find it easier to embed new applications such as variable personalization and TransPromo documents into existing IPDS workflows and document processes. With powerful Océ PRISMA workflow software and connectivity to other proven front-end products, the Océ JetStream system performs in any environment without changing workflow.
The Océ JetStream systems offer an integrated roll-to-roll configuration with a tight web for precise registration and control. A high-speed paper path produces CMYK full process color output at approximately 150 meters per minute with 600x600 dpi resolution. The system supports a wide range of papers and weight, and no special media is required. Paper processing options include a cross perforation device for folding, and a punch unit for creating pin feed holes. Optional roll slitter and folding units increase finishing options. Integrated finishing allows seamless workflow automation for uninterrupted production requiring little manual intervention.
Quality verification assured
Océ pursues every opportunity to help customers squeeze more productivity out of their workflow, including the processes that support the actual printing. Optional integrated verification cameras available only on Océ systems let operators view a photo of the output, so they can check print quality without stopping the printers. As a result, document quality is assured, operators greatly reduce the time they must spend on manual verification, and the printers do not require frequent stops.
Océ JetStream systems are available for controlled release in the first quarter of 2008.
