Océ Wins 2006 ON DEMAND Best Of Show Award
Océ, a global leader in digital document management and delivery solutions, has been recognized at this year's ON DEMAND Conference & Exposition with the Best of Show award in the Printing Equipment category for its groundbreaking Océ VarioPrint 6250 printer, the world's fastest and most productive digital duplex cut-sheet printing system. The Océ VarioPrint 6250 was recognized for its offset class quality, near perfect registration and breakthrough performance at 250 letter-, 160 legal- and 132 ledger-size duplex prints per minute, making it up to 70 percent more productive than any other printer in its class.
BERTL, the well-known independent research firm focused on digital imaging, partnered with the ON DEMAND Conference & Exposition to produce the awards program. The ON DEMAND Conference & Expo is the world's leading digital printing conference and exposition, which encompasses all the technologies that are used to create, manage, personalize, print and deliver content.
BERTL's Dave Sweetnam, vice president, Research and Content Development; Karl Rudisill, director, Digital Production Division; and Rich McAllister, senior solutions and market analyst, acted as award judges.
The versatile Océ VarioPrint 6250 system targets the needs of both corporate and commercial printing markets. The printer is based on revolutionary single-pass Océ Gemini Instant Duplex Technology for unmatched speed, offset-class quality, higher productivity, and total reliability, all in a single solution. Océ Gemini Instant Duplex Technology presses toner images onto both sides of a page simultaneously without turning the paper. Full integration with Océ PRISMA workflows enables seamless integration with Xerox and other proprietary devices and workflows. Designed for continuous operation and long-term reliability, the Océ VarioPrint 6250 supports from 400,000 to 6,000,000 impressions per month. The new printer features the industry's largest in/output capacity for larger media sizes.
"We are proud that the Océ VarioPrint 6250 has been selected for this honor recognizing the significance of the system's breakthrough technology," said Jan Dix, President and CEO of Océ-USA Holding. "The 2006 ON DEMAND Best of Show award demonstrates that Océ continues to set new benchmarks for the most advanced digital printing solutions available."
