The Océ ColorWave 900 has debuted at Fespa 2013. Beginning life as concept under the term 'Project Velocity' at Drupa 2012, the printer is said to close the gap between digital inkjet and traditional offset technology. It has been designed for the GA, CAD and GIS markets, but Canon says it is “ideal for a vast range of applications - such as point-of-sale (POS), exhibition and trade show materials, counter and floor displays, technical drawings and maps - an attractive proposition for wide-format printers looking to radically boost output, and for commercial printers looking for a powerful way to explore new revenue channels.”
The 42in wide Océ ColorWave 900 is underpinned by Memjet's inkjet technology and Canon said it has a raw print speed of more than 1,100m2/hr and able to produce resolutions of 1,600 x 1,600dpi. Output is cut and delivered - dry and ready to use - into a high capacity stacker.
Flexible colour management and professional workflow software are available through either the Océ PowerM controller or Onyx ThriveT print workflow software.
