Oce gets interest from Australian printers with new inkjet kit at German summit

The vendor launched two new presses as its Production Printing Summit in Poing, Germany, last week. The JetStream 1400 and JetStream 3000 are the latest additions to the digital manufacturer’s compact series and dual series, respectively.

The Océ JetStream 3000 has a printing speed of 200 metres per minute (mpm), which translates to 2,700 A4 images per minute, and is the new top model in the dual series.

The 100mpm (1,350 A4 images) Océ JetStream 1400 is now the high-speed model in the compact series, which offers full-colour two-up duplex productivity in a single cabinet.

Sebastian Landesberger, executive vice president, Océ Production Printing, said that the new presses “perfectly complemented” the company’s continuous feed inkjet portfolio.

The Summit, held at Océ’s 6,000sqm Leadership Technology Hub from 7-10 June, also featured the manufacturer’s latest inkjet and toner-based technologies, including the ColorStream 3500, which caught the eye of Bruce Peddlesden, managing director of Melbourne’s On Demand Printing.

Peddlesden told ProPrint he was currently in the market for inkjet, though no decision has been made. “We have an existing relationship with Océ but also HP and I am not going to discount HP, but now the frontrunner is Océ. We have talked to Infoprint and had an ongoing conversation with Kodak but we will be making the decision very soon.

“I haven’t bought one but we will be purchasing a machine and will do so in a very short period of time. I was over having a look at Océ last week and the 3500 is a very good machine,” he said.

Other machines on show at the event included the Océ VarioStream 8000, VarioStream 7120 and ColorStream 10000 Flex, as well as the VarioPrint 6000 and Canon ImagePress C7010VP.

Océ also used highlighted its strategic alliance with Manroland at the Summit, where the two manufacturers demonstrated the integration of their hardware and software products.

Manroland chief executive Gerd Finkbeiner said the two firms were demonstrating how “inkjet printing systems supplement industrial offset printing” and that they had “ambitious aims”.

“We want successful customers who are participating in the dynamic growth of digital print production and we are committed to supplying them with solutions that are at the same time groundbreaking and future-proof,” he added.
