The Future of Digital Printing

The portfolio of products and services is supplemented by the cross-platform Océ PRISMA suite that gives an integrated workflow along the entire digital value creation chain and tailored post-processing and finishing solutions. In addition, the very successful toner-based Océ VarioStream 7000 / 8000 and Océ ColorStream 10000 Flex technologies are on display along with their relevant applications. The digital high-performance show is rounded off with production cutsheet solutions for digital monochrome and color printing, such as the Océ VarioPrint 6000 printing system and the Canon imagePRESS C7010VP printing system.

At the Océ Production Printing Summit Océ will present the most important trends and growth applications in high-speed data printing, for example for transaction and TransPromo, premium direct mail, loyalty and trade applications as well as security printing. A further central element of the Océ Summit will, together with manroland, be the application-related combination of print data management, digital and offset printing and print post-processing. The individual manufacturing steps of the graphic arts industry will be brought home through innovative individualized print products, for example from the publishing and job printing business, and these will be linked into business models.

"Individualized high-speed digital printing is an attractive field of business that is increasingly supplementing industrial print runs. The print value creation chain in conventional printing is undergoing change, for example through hybrid products," explained Landesberger. "With our inkjet technologies, we will be showing a combination of highest quality and maximum individualization as well as their value proposition for modern print communication, at the Océ Production Printing Summit. Our alliance with manroland is, particularly in this pre-drupa year, a part of our strategy that points the way forward."

Since 2011 manroland and Océ have been the first suppliers to offer the market tailor-made all-inclusive digital printing solutions for the graphics industry from a single source. The cooperation includes consulting, systems, services and materials. manroland is the leader in webfed offset printing and possesses enormous expertise in the development and manufacture of high-productivity offset technologies as well as the associated post-processing and finishing systems. Océ, the No. 1 in digital full-color continuous feed printing, has profound experience in the fields of system integration, workflow management and variable high-speed data printing. The printing industry will be the main beneficiary of this cooperation, being in a position to choose forward-looking technologies and workflow solutions following joint consulting by manroland and Océ.
