Oce grows wider with ColorWave 300
Launch of ColorWave 300 single footprint multifunctional device expected to make a mark in Australia.
The new system offers companies the ability to combine two different purchases into one, delivering significant cost savings, as well as enabling the release of floor space, otherwise occupied by a second machine.
Companies involved in technical document printing: architects, engineers, construction firms and commercial printers, providing wide format plan printing services to their customers, now have an alternative to conventional wide format toner-based systems.
Product Manager for the Océ ColorWave 300 for Océ-Australia Limited, Olya Yemchenko, believes that it is the first system with a truly integrated scanner so businesses can print, copy, scan and control all functions from one user panel with only one IP address to maintain.
“Océ Image Logic and Océ Dynamic Switching facilitate the printing of complex GIS drawings or copying detailed B&W CAD documents,” she said.
The Océ ColorWave 300 has an inbuilt powerful controller, allowing it to swiftly handle all file formats: HP-Gl/2, PDF, DWF, JPEG, without sacrificing speed.
While the Océ ColorWave 300 directly addresses the needs of plan print users, Yemchenko says that Océ sees a wider market for the product. Customers handling technical documents are looking for compact, low volume systems they can put anywhere.
“Commercial printers are increasingly expanding their product offering to include new services such as plan printing. The ColorWave 300 is an attractive option for reprographers who can produce wide format B&W and colour output on a single system. Furthermore, users can scan to and print directly from a USB device at the printer. This is ideal for walk up customers needing a job done quickly,” she said.
The Océ ColorWave 300 is immediately available in following the official global release of the new system. Océ expects the first Océ ColorWave 300 product to be installed in Australia within the first quarter of 2010.
