drupa blog # 3: Oce breaks the news

On drupa opening day, Print21 found Oce Australia’s Herbert Kieleither casually reading that day’s edition of the Sydney Morning Herald.

Fairfax sent the PDFs over at 5pm Drupa time and within a flash they were into Oce’s Prisma workflow and printed out on the new Jetstream 2200 continuous feed full colour inkjet press.

Using treated newsprint and Hunkeler trimming, folding and collating, all 42pp of the Herald were as you folks back home would have seen them, except  Oce replaced the back sports page with .. .err well a bit of self promo. The text was
immaculate with colour just a tad flatter than the real Chullora offset job.

Way to go big O!
