Professional outdoor printing made easy

New Océ CS9060 joins Océ CS9000 Series

Venlo, the Netherlands, 20 June 2007 — The new Océ CS9060 high quality printer uses eco-solvent inks to create indoor and outdoor-durable prints. The Océ CS9060 is targeted at commercial printers that intend to start offering high quality indoor and outdoor printing, companies already active in this market, and to corporate customers for in-house print production.

High Quality Indoor and Outdoor Printing System

Commercial printers that want to start offering indoor- and outdoor-durable prints and corporate customers need a high quality, environmentally safe and easy-to-use system that offers indoor and outdoor versatility. The Océ CS9060 fits these needs and truly enables “professional outdoor printing made easy.”

The Océ CS9060 combines value with ease-of-use. The Océ CS9060 is ideal for short run print jobs and is designed for light production environments where high quality output and outdoor durability are required. Sample applications include point-of-purchase displays, vehicle graphics, transit advertising, exhibit graphics, banners, museum graphics, wayfinding and window displays.  

Superior Print Quality through Advanced Print Technologies

The Océ CS9060 offers superior print quality and ink economy through the use of Océ CS9000 VariaDot™ imaging technology and WAVE Stitching print modes.

Océ CS9000 VariaDot imaging technology produces dots with variable drop sizes to deliver finer details, smoother gradients and sharper images. The use of Océ CS9000 VariaDot imaging technology results in significantly lower ink usage of the Océ CS9060 when compared to the ink usage of six colour printers using fixed dot inkjet technology; 25 to 35 percent less ink is used.

WAVE Stitching prints in ‘waves’ instead of straight bands, resulting in higher print quality, improved productivity and increased media versatility. WAVE Stitching enables the Océ CS9060 to produce prints with consistent quality in production print modes, even when more demanding media are used. The level of banding in production print modes is greatly reduced, and brings it to less than that of many solvent printers in High Quality mode.

Environmentally Safe Eco-Solvent System

Eco-solvent inks offer customers the outdoor benefits of solvent inks, while making it possible to use the printer in a regular office or small print shop environment without the need for an air purification system, avoiding additional costs.

Coated and uncoated media can be used for indoor and short- to mid-term outdoor applications. The eco-solvent inks used in the Océ CS9060 offer an outdoor durability of up to three years, without lamination.

Easy-to-Use

The Océ CS9060 offers outdoor printing with the ease of use of an aqueous indoor printer. The operator maintenance of the printer is limited to only five minutes per week.

Availability

The Océ CS9060 is expected to be available for customer shipment worldwide in the second quarter of 2007.
