Canon/OCE will be taking orders for the new
Memjet-powered large-format “Velocity” printer (the OCE “ColorWave 900”) at the
“Print 13” show in Chicago in September.
PRINT 13 will take place at the
McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago from September 8-12, 2013
With the release of the OCE ColorWave 900,
there be three large-format, Memjet-powered printers on the market in the U.S.,
including Xante’s Excelagrafix 4200 (introduced in 2012), Xerox’s IJP 2000
(introduced in May/June 2013) and the OCE ColorWave 900.
At the FESPA show in London, held from June
25th-29th in London, Canon/OCE formally introduced the
OCE ColorWave 900 to the European marketplace, and here’s what Canon/OCE said
about this new printer:

markets
Beginning life as
concept product, ‘Project Velocity’ – presented for first time at drupa 2012
– the Océ ColorWave 900 closes the gap between digital inkjet and
traditional offset technology. Specifically designed for the GA, CAD and GIS
markets, this printer provides market-leading digital workflow,
productivity, lower running costs and increased flexibility for shorter and
personalised print jobs.
Underpinned by Memjet’s
inkjet technology, the Océ ColorWave 900 has a raw print speed of more than
1,100m2 per hour and is able to print the equivalent height of the Eiffel
tower in just half an hour. Delivering 3.4 billion drops of 1.2 picolitres
of aqueous ink per second, the machine is able to produce resolutions of
1,600 x 1,600 dpi.
With a width path of 42” (106.7cm), the Océ
ColorWave 900 incorporates the same proven six media roll capacity of the
Océ ColorWave 600/650 devices, possessing an impressive total input capacity
of 1,200 metres (200 metres per roll). The output is cut and delivered – dry
and ready to use – into a high capacity stacker, which features dual
delivery trays for concurrent printing and unloading to further maximise
uptime and increase productivity.
Flexible colour
management and professional workflow software are available through either
the Océ PowerM® controller or ONYX Thrive™ print workflow software.
Additionally, an intuitive touch-screen interface enhances usability and
simplifies routine tasks – saving time and reducing mistakes.
Ideal for a vast range
of applications – such as point-of-sale (POS), exhibition and trade show
materials, counter and floor displays, technical drawings and maps – the Océ
ColorWave 900 is an attractive proposition for wide format printers looking
to radically boost output, and for commercial printers looking for a
powerful – yet economical – way to explore new revenue channels.
Bart Geraads, European
Production Print Group Director, Technical Document Systems (TDS) and
Display Graphics Systems (DGS), Canon Europe, comments: “Since the concept
demonstration last year, we have fine-tuned the Océ ColorWave 900 to ensure
that we deliver a solution that puts print service providers at the vanguard
of wide format printing.
“Customers have voiced
their need for a highly productive wide format colour device and I’m very
pleased that we are now able to showcase our response to that. Canon’s broad
portfolio of wide format technologies makes the company the ideal partner
for any print service providers who want differentiate their service
offering, stand out from the crowd and grow their business over the long
term.”
