CHICAGO, May 10 -- Oce, a global leader in digital document management and delivery solutions, unveiled the new Oce CS2044 and Oce CS2024 large format color print systems in Booth # 401 at the IRgA 2006 Annual Convention and Trade Show in Orlando, FL, opening today. These new, low volume systems, with printing widths of 44 and 24 inches respectively, produce consistently crisp, clear line drawings and brilliant color graphics, making them ideal for handling a wide variety of applications. The option to add two additional RIPS -- ONYX CADPro and ONYX GraphicsPro -- provides flexibility for a wide range of users from engineers to graphic designers. Predefined print preferences and Oce media profiles make it easy to achieve consistent, high quality results with a range of print media. The Oce CS2044 and Oce CS2024 are ideally suited for users looking to purchase their first large format color system and those wanting to bring more and varied large format color print work in-house. These include single users, small workgroups and diverse commercial printers. "We introduced the Oce CS2044 and Oce CS2024 to address nearly every user's print needs -- whether for color line drawings, GIS plots, or high quality color graphics," explained Sal Sheikh, Vice President, Marketing, Oce Wide Format Printing Systems division of Oce North America. "The ability to add or upgrade a RIP means the systems will provide long term value and accommodate changing business requirements, while saving the cost associated with outsourcing large format, high quality color prints." Oce CS2044 and Oce CS2024 Highlights -- Outstanding quality for a wide range of applications The new Oce CS2044 and Oce CS2024 printing systems provide brilliant, consistent color quality no matter what the application. Line drawings are strikingly sharp thanks to 2400 x 1200 dpi. The 6 color printing process and large color gamut dye ink ensures outstanding color renderings and photo-quality images. An intuitive user interface guarantees that with any application -- CAD, GIS, 3D renderings or color graphics -- the results are always top quality. Predefined Oce printing preferences automatically select the right settings for each print job, ensuring excellent quality results. Oce media profiles provide perfect matching of inks and media to the printer for accurate results that are right the first time and consistent between jobs and over time. -- Flexible choice of options to meet every user's needs No longer do single or small workgroup users have to depend on outsourcing or multiple systems to produce many diverse applications. The Oce CS2044 and Oce CS2024 systems grow with users' printing needs. With the flexible and configurable Oce CS2044 and Oce CS2024 systems, engineers, architects, cartographers and designers can choose the configuration that best meets their current and future printing requirements. Users can operate the systems with the standard Windows print driver or choose from two optional RIPs. ONYX CADPro provides an efficient way to print vector files without opening them in the original application, and ONYX GraphicsPro adds PostScript processing, a full PANTONE color library for accurate PANTONE color matching, extended media profiles, direct printing of raster files, and nesting of print jobs. Customers who start with ONYX CADPro can migrate to ONYX GraphicsPro if they need to add color graphics capability. -- Low volume solution for graphical and technical output The Oce CS2044 and Oce CS2024 printing systems are low volume, entry-level solutions that pack uncompromising color print quality and reliability into competitively priced systems. Customers benefit from the ability to print a wide array of graphical and technical applications of varying sizes on one robust machine. These outstanding systems also combine the intuitive nature and consistent high quality output that is standard with all Oce products. Users can therefore spend their time focusing on more important business tasks and trust their color print applications will be produced correctly the first time, every time.
