Out of hundreds of devices, only a small number qualify for BERTL's prestigious 4-Star, Highly Recommended rating. This rating is reserved for those devices that deliver a range of business-critical features/functions that are above average and provide potential buyers with a good return on investment (ROI). Elizabeth McNichol, Vice President of Corporate Relations for BERTL, said, "We were really impressed with the quality and the functionality of Oce TDS450, which stood head and shoulders above the competition. It is as feature-rich as higher end models, and it's built to withstand years of operation. Even under the rigorous conditions with which we test wide format devices, the Oce TDS450 is extremely impressive." "We are honored to receive a 4-Star, Highly Recommended rating from BERTL for the Oce TDS450, right on the heels of the same rating for the Oce TCS500 large format color CAD printer last quarter. This level of continued recognition underscores Oce's enduring commitment to the technical document printing market, with powerful solutions that meet the needs of a new breed of user who requires simplicity of use yet sophistication of output," said Sal Sheikh, Vice President, Marketing, Oce Wide Format Printing division of Oce North America.
