2012 Bavarian Innovation Prize Goes to Oce

Océ Printing Systems in Poing has received one of the three grand prizes awarded by the Bavarian State to underline the importance of innovation in the development of Bavaria as an industrial location.


Productivity is increased because downtime and maintenance periods can be minimized, while the change from monochrome to full-color can be realized in less than five minutes. The digital printing process permits customer communications to be better targeted and customized.

Leadership in digital full-color inkjet

“The new systems of the renowned Océ ColorStream 3000 series join the Océ inkjet family and once more extend the company’s leadership in digital full-color inkjet. Through a full-line assortment print providers have now more choices to easily migrate from toner systems, other inkjet platforms or offset printing to high-speed digital printing based on their productivity requirements,” explains Sebastian Landesberger, Executive Vice President Commercial Printing.
