Oce ColorStream 3900 U.S. Premiere at Graph Expo

Wednesday 10. October 2012 - The fastest model in the ColorStream 3000 inkjet series makes its U.S. debut.

Oce, a Canon Group company and an international leader in digital document management, today announced that the new Oce ColorStream 3900 digital full-color inkjet printing system will be showcased at Graph Expo. Show attendees can see it in action in Canon booth 400 at McCormick Place South in Chicago, October 7 – 10.
One of the newest members of the Oce ColorStream 3000 series, the Oce ColorStream 3900 system is also the fastest model in the series offering a process speed of 417 feet per minute. That translates to 909 letter-size images per minute for a single unit or 1,818 letter-size impressions per minute in a twin configuration. Monthly volumes of up to 59 million letter-size images can be achieved.
During Graph Expo, attendees will see the speed of the printing system in action. Applications being printed at the show range from a full-color, full-bleed comic book, a Toulouse-Lautrec poster art book, a Yellowstone National Park guide book and National Parks wall calendar, as well as children’s books and direct mail. Samples of all the applications will be available in Canon booth 400.
Higher Productivity, Unsurpassed Service
“The Oce ColorStream 3900 model takes the speed of the Oce ColorStream series to a whole new level for high-volume print providers,” said Kris Albee, Director, Product Marketing, Production Printing Systems division of Oce North America, a Canon Group company. “Our customers not only get the speed and high quality they need, but also the industry leadership and unsurpassed service Oce delivers.”
The Oce ColorStream 3900 model features two production modes. For print jobs with short production windows and tight cost constraints, the performance mode of the Oce ColorStream 3900 model operates at 417 feet per minute at 600 x 480 dpi resolution with multilevel dot modulation, producing excellent quality at top speed. For even higher quality requirements, the premium mode enables printing at 1200 dpi perceived image quality with 328 feet per minute or 1,428 letter- size images per minute.
“Transactional applications, direct mail documents or short-run books are often characterized by tight production windows and very high peak loads. This is where the Oce ColorStream 3900 model reveals its strengths and economic advantages,” said Michael Poulin, Product Marketing Manager, Oce North America, a Canon Group company.
Print providers also benefit from the reliability, print quality and media range of the Oce ColorStream 3000 series. The high-speed Oce ColorStream 3900 model uses piezo-electric drop-on-demand inkjet printheads that allow very high speeds with a consistent perceived print quality of up to 1200 dpi using multilevel droplet modulation.
