Venlo, The Netherlands, - Océ, an international leader in digital document management and delivery, today announced the launch of the Océ ColorWave 300 2nd Edition for large format B&W and color printing, scanning and copying.

Saves space, investment costs


In 2010 Océ launched the Océ ColorWave 300, a large format all-in-one system for printing, copying and scanning. With this system, companies no longer need to invest in separate printers and scanners for large format B&W and color documents. The unique Top Delivery Tray stacks large format documents automatically on top of the system, saving valuable floor space since no separate table is needed. "One of the main advantages is the processing speed. The Océ ColorWave 300 has an integrated processor. It also features an integrated scanner and copier, which saves us floor space," confirms Marcel Bielleman, engineer at Swisslog Ergotrans.



Now the Océ ColorWave 300 2nd Edition provides users in architecture, engineering, construction and commercial printing companies with even more productive printing. It is perfect for businesses with limited space looking to get the highest return on their document production investment.

Productive printing, copying and scanning – in color and B&W


According to BERTL analysts in their 100% independent assessment of the key buyer benefits the Océ ColorWave 300 system multifunction printer offers users "exceptional ease of use, energy efficiency and solid construction."



The Océ ColorWave 300 2nd Edition adds productive featuring to the proven Océ ColorWave 300 concept. The choice of two integrated online folding units enables a fully automated workflow for the delivery of consistent and high quality folded output. The online folders are fully integrated so users can access the scanning and printing functionalities without removing the folder. Folding can be selected from the control panel, the printer driver and submission tools. Backchannel communication between the system and the folder ensures reliable operation.



With the Océ ColorWave 300 2nd Edition users can print, copy and scan color and B&W large format documents in one go, just by pressing the Océ green button. The unique Océ Image Logic technology is expanded with scanning and copying features of folded documents and documents with color annotations.

The powerful controller swiftly handles all file formats – HP-Gl/2, PDF, DWF, JPEG – without sacrificing speed. Users can print and scan documents via a USB flash drive. Additionally the concurrent copying, scanning, processing and printing features, makes the Océ ColorWave 300 2nd Edition the most productive all-in-one system for color and B&W.
