Oce PlotWave 300 system

Oce, an international leader in digital document management, is demonstrating its latest advancements in large format printing equipment and productive workflow and application software in Booth #709 at the International Reprographic Association (IRgA) 2009 Annual Conference and Trade Show, April 29-May 1 in Pittsburgh. These solutions are geared toward helping reprographers expand their business opportunities, improve operational efficiencies and grow market share in today?s challenging environment.

The IRgA show is the North American debut of the Oce PlotWave 300 system — a compact, all-in-one, large format monochrome print/copy/scan system that is ideal for enabling facilities management providers and equipment resellers to capitalize on the growing trend of decentralized printing. The system's simple operation, energy efficiency, and durable design meet the needs of lower volume workgroup printing environments.

"Today's economic climate presents reprographers with a real challenge. They must expand their business offerings into the growing markets of display graphics applications and technical documents in color to compensate for reductions in traditional revenue sources, improve operational efficiencies, adapt to changing customer demands, and support eco-friendly processes - all the while keeping profitability and ROI performance in mind," said Sal Sheikh, Vice President, Marketing, Oce Wide Format Printing division of Oce North America. "The many new Oce products on display at IRgA underscore our commitment to the success of our reprographic customers. Oce solutions put speed, quality, productivity enhancements, and sustainability-minded operations directly in our customers' hands, enabling them to expand their businesses in a profitable way."

Also showcased will be ways for reprographers to grow technical color print volumes, capture new display graphics and retail point-of-sale (POS) signage revenues, offer sustainable print solutions and maximize central and decentralized print volumes. This includes displaying a comprehensive range of Oce's most successful, industry-leading systems, such as the revolutionary Oce ColorWave 600 printer, Oce CS2236 color inkjet plotter, Oce TCS500 color inkjet printer with the Oce TC4 scanner, the Oce Arizona 350GT UV curable flatbed printer with White Ink Option, and the new Oce ProCut digital cutting solution that streamlines display graphics workflow from prepress through finishing. Oce will also demonstrate the power of intuitive, integrated print management systems with its Oce Repro Desk family of software including Oce Repro Desk Professional, new Oce Repro Desk Studio, and Oce Client Tools. The new Posterizer integrated retail signage solution from Oce provides reprographers with a comprehensive, intuitive and cost-effective tool to create customized, promotional in-store signage for their local retailers.

Recognizing the unique needs of users in lower volume environments, Oce introduces the next wave of simple, environmentally sustainable, durable imaging in a new monochrome multifunction print/copy/scan system.
