The system features a White Ink option, which expands the range of services into specialty offerings such as over-printing on transparent media for backlit applications. Innovative Océ VariaDot imaging technology produces near-photographic image quality at speeds of more than 239 square feet per hour.

The new Océ ColorWave 600 large format printer uses a new printing technology called Océ CrystalPoint that combines the best of toner and inkjet printing in one machine. The Océ CrystalPoint process converts solid Océ TonerPearls color toner into a gel that is then jetted and crystallized onto any type of uncoated media, including plain and recycled paper, vellum and even Tyvek. The system, which is at least twice as fast as conventional inkjet systems, produces high-quality images with extremely accurate dot placement that is instantly dry, waterfast and can be handled immediately. New Océ CrystalPoint technology is also environmentally friendly, with no ozone, odor, or fine powder emissions. With this unique system, print professionals can reduce turnaround and accelerate project completion, consolidate monochrome and color volumes to reduce costs and incorporate renderings, maps or photos easily into larger sets with inexpensive plain paper, full-color printing.
