Providing the flexible production tools today’s corporate and commercial print operations require, the Oce VarioPrint 5000 systems support a wide range of substrates and application types including labels, tabs, forms, checks, lightweight and glossy stock, and ledger size forms with highlight color and multiple image resolutions.

The systems are scalable to support multiple resolutions, and multiple toner types including color and MICR. Users can easily expand input and output capacity with selectable drawers and enable complete solutions with extensive finishing options like high capacity stacking, stapling, stitching, and binding, all of which allows today’s print operations to make the most of their digital assets. Demonstrating the multi-functional, convergent advantage that the Oce VarioPrint technology offers today’s print customers, the Oce VarioPrint 5115 will be shown at Xplor printing a multi-page newsletter, on ledger-sized paper with highlight color, and a personalized, multi-page insurance statement.
