Outdoor-durable prints and high image quality for a range of applications.
Oce CS9350 Océ, a Canon Group company, has announced the new Océ CS9300 Series eco-solvent printers which the company said offer productivity and image quality improvements over previous models. The Océ CS9300 Series printers – including the 162.5 cm (64”) Océ CS9360 model and the 137.1 cm (54”) Océ CS9350 model – are next-generation printers based on the Océ CS9160 and Océ CS9050 (respectively) eco-solvent printers.
“This refreshed line of printers brings more productivity to print service providers that produce outdoor-durable work,” said Attilio Mainoli, CEO of Océ Display Graphics Systems. “There are still many applications that are well served by eco-solvent printers particularly in the growing out-of-home advertising category, which includes items such as posters, transit advertising and convenience store advertising.”
The Océ CS9360 model can print at speeds of up to 29 m2/hr (312 square feet), which is 60 per cent higher than the speed of the Océ CS9160 printer. The Océ CS9350 model’s top print speed is 27.9 m2/hr (299.2 square feet), nearly twice the print speed of the Océ CS9050 printer. A variety of resolution configurations can be selected to suit the job at hand, which Océ maintain will help speed throughput and reduce ink costs. The printers include a standard media take-up system as well as a sheet-off function to accommodate individual shops’ print and finishing workflow. An optional off-board winder unit is available to support volume printing. The Océ CS9360 model can accommodate 440 ml ink cartridges for longer print runs between ink changes.
The Océ CS9300 Series printers have Intelligent Interweaving print technology that reduces or eliminates the typical artifacts inherent in conventional digital inkjet printing such as horizontal banding, step mismatch banding, and the visible effects of missing or misfiring nozzles. Océ said that the benefit of this technology is predictable and repeatable output quality, giving print service provider’s confidence that they will be able to print ideal quality images, fit for purpose every time, in the shortest possible time.
The Océ CS9360 and Océ CS9350 are built on the Océ CS9050 and Océ CS9160 platforms, each with a robust design and say the company, a history of reliability. All four models use the same eco-solvent ink formulation to deliver durability of up to three years outdoors. Since each model uses only four colour inks and a variable drop technology, Océ maintains that print service providers can save on ink usage by using just the drop size necessary, rather than compensating by adding light colour inks.
