Océ has announced its new Océ ColorStream 3700 digital full-colour inkjet printing system saying this latest model in its inkjet family extends the company’s leadership in the digital full-colour inkjet segment and helps a wider range of print providers make the transition from toner systems, other inkjet platforms or offset printing to high-speed digital printing.
The new Océ ColorStream 3700 joins the Océ inkjet portfolio that was spearheaded by the Océ ColorStream 3500, launched a year ago.
The company says the 3700 extends the reach of the Océ inkjet systems as solution for monochrome and full-colour high volume print service provider environments, print centres with datacenter background and offset print providers seeking a flexible and efficient high-volume digital printing solution. The availability of a higher speed version permits customers to complete more jobs within tighter production windows, providing additional capacities to grow their print volume.
The Océ ColorStream 3700 is the high-speed model in the Océ ColorStream Twin series with a process speed of 100 meters per minute with a print and paper width of 21,25” (approx. 540 mm). That translates to 675 A4 impressions per minute (716 letter sized) for a single unit or in a twin configuration, 1350 A4 impressions per minute (1432 letter sized) for monthly volumes of up to 46 million A4 pages (43 million letter sized).
Through the HeadSafe concept, the Océ ColorStream 3700 is the first high-volume inkjet system offering users of high-speed high-quality monochrome toner-based solutions an extremely efficient 1:1 comparable inkjet solution. The Océ ColorStream 3700 allows a direct transition to full-color inkjet as well as a smooth and slow migration starting with high monochrome print volumes without tedious manual cleaning when switching to full color after longer periods of monochrome printing.
Additional exclusive features such as printing in speed ramps which allows page one quality printing or the paper waste-free print pause significantly increase the productivity and sustainability of the Océ ColorStream 3700. Apart from the saved, not wasted resources a significant boost of the total production workflow and value chain is achieved as no wasted, white pages have to be handled in the later post processing steps.
