ColorStream 3000 Series

Océ has announced the new Océ ColorStream 3200 and ColorStream 3900 digital full-color inkjet printing systems. This assortment will help print providers to easily make their transition to digital full color at their own pace.

Transition to high-speed digital printing

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.

The Océ ColorStream 3000 series inkjet printing systems provide a modular offering in various single and twin configurations with four different printing speeds ranging from 48 to 127 m/min. A full-color Océ ColorStream 3000 series system can be set up as a monochrome-only system when needed. They offer productivity and flexibility for high-speed color and monochrome production of transaction, TransPromo, direct mail, book and manual applications. The production and media flexibility contributes to a future-proof solution that simplifies the evolution of applications and business models to more sophisticated documents for smarter communication in color.

Océ expands inkjet portfolio

The new Océ ColorStream 3200, Océ ColorStream 3700 and Océ ColorStream 3900 join the market-leading Océ inkjet portfolio as basic and top-of-the-line models in the Océ ColorStream 3000 series. Merely one year after the global launch of this visionary yet low risk innovation, the Océ ColorStream 3000 series obtained a market-leading position through the Océ ColorStream 3500 especially in the datacenter and print service provider environments. The new models further extend the reach of the Océ ColorStream 3000 series as solutions for monochrome and full-color print service provider environments, print centers with datacenter background and offset print providers seeking a flexible and efficient high-volume digital printing solution. The combination of high inkjet productivity built on the Océ DigiDot® heads with proven Océ flexibility and efficiency that is now available in four field-upgradable speeds is a total solution for all environments and requirements.

Lower investment level enables more users to jump on inkjet

With the new basic model ColorStream 3200 Océ lowers the entry-barrier into cost-efficient inkjet printing especially for transactional print providers. Customers that just require a print width of 17" (about 432 mm) and do not have print volumes to justify the investment in current inkjet offerings now have a lower investment level solution. They can start with a slower speed of 48 m/min (648 A4 or 688 letter size images) and upgrade to the faster Océ ColorStream 3000 series speeds when required. Especially print providers that are looking for an efficient way of full-color inkjet printing can now replace toner-based continuous feed systems with a comparable speed inkjet solution. A large amount of the installed toner-based systems only require the 2-up A4 print width of 17" and are in a productivity segment of up to approx. 20 million images a month, which the Océ ColorStream 3200 is able to deliver.

Higher productivity allows more jobs in tighter production windows

The Océ ColorStream 3900 is the new top-speed model in the Océ ColorStream 3000 series and offers a process speed of 127 meters per minute. That translates to 857 A4 images per minute (909 letter sized) for a single unit or to 1714 A4 impressions per minute (1818 letter sized) in a twin configuration. Monthly volumes of up to 56 million A4 images (59 million letter sized images) can be achieved.
