Océ at Sparkasse Essen

“The huge variety of media that can be printed is one of the main characteristics of the Océ ColorWave 600 printer, and it is also extremely fast”, says Uwe Brackhage, Production Manager of Sparkasse Essen.

A bank operating to high standards is what Focus Money magazine called Sparkasse Essen in a bank comparison test. It also said that the bank was the best financial institution in the Ruhr metropolis. Uwe Brackhage, Production Manager for Sparkasse Essen, is convinced that one reason why his bank has been successful is fast and continuous customer communication. Be it bank statements, flyers or full-color brochures, everything runs through the printing and dispatch center, for which Brackhage is responsible. The next step was to more quickly produce in-house posters and signs.

Océ at C1000

“Thanks to the collaboration between Schuitema, Océ and IDP, we can respond to current local events much quicker than before”, says Gerrit Douma of C1000 Supermarkets.

Store owners who are part of a larger organization will recognize the problem: headquarters sends out promotional material to the branches to promote certain products and special offers. That’s fine. But sometimes local store owners need something extra. To respond to a promotional offer of a local competitor, for instance. Or to take advantage of an event that is only relevant for the local target group. All the store owner can do is hope that the local printshop can help out. Otherwise it’s back to the old marker pen. At least, that’s how it was until now...

Océ at Neografia

With the Océ ColorWave 600 printer, “two of the five operators could be assigned to other duties, media loading was reduced from 100 times to five times per month and the time needed for processing a proof print was reduced from 14 to four minutes”, says Norbert Janíček, IT Director at Neografia.

Neografia is one of the top three offset printers in Slovakia producing color books, magazines and catalogues. Neografia exports 40% of its total offset production and 85% of its book production, mostly to the European Union. The company offers a complete in-house production workflow that combines pre-press, and state-of-the-art web and sheet print production, plus finishing capabilities with sophisticated binding techniques. Neografia produces a large number of orders each year which puts high demands on its production workflow system. The company recently added an Océ ColorWave 600 printer that has quickly improved its proofing operations.

Océ at Brewers

"Having invested in the latest wide format technology from Océ, our biggest saving has been in labour, plus we now have much greater production flexibility", says David Relf, I.T. Manager at Brewers.

In recent years Brewers have operated a wide format machine from one of Océ’s major competitors. David Relf explains: “Our previous machine was a high quality product, but like others in the marketplace, the technology was slow. We needed a faster technology, preferably one in which the prints would be sufficiently water-fast for outdoor use. The Océ ColorWave 600 has proved to be significantly faster, and the prints are definitely robust enough for outdoor use. The machine also possesses significant environmental credentials, something to which Brewers is very committed.”
