Charities make waves with Oce posters

Océ lends a hand with the printing of posters for the Motor Neurone Disease Association of NSW and HOME Hospice.

The posters were printed on the company's ColorWave600 TonerPearl wide format printer, using Océ's CrystalPoint technology, at their Sydney showroom.

The Motor Neurone Disease Association of NSW is a not-for-profit organisation that provides support for people with MND and their carers. HOME Hospice is a not-for-profit organisation that focusses on providing Volunteer Community Mentors for caregivers of people with a terminal illness. These two organisations have formed an alliance which complements existing health services and increases the options available for end-of-life care.

The posters were used for presentations at the National Palliative Care Conference in Perth last week and will now make their way overseas to the MND International Symposium in Berlin from 4 to 10 December.

Graphic designer, Steve de Vroom, who designed the posters, was impressed with the result.  “The ColorWave600 did a fantastic job,” he said. “It pumps the posters out in 30 seconds and is just amazing.”

Océ representative and Print 21 contributor, Andy McCourt, (pictured above) said that Océ was very happy to be able to help the MND NSW and HOME Hospice organisations because the challenges faced by end-of-life caregivers were considerable.  Océ's wide-format specialist Roger Womersley operated the printer and software to produce the posters.
