The 42-inch Océ ColorWave 810 and 910 systems can print at up to 10,00 square feet per hour regardless of image complexity, ink coverage or media type.
The second generation of the range, succeeding the 900 series, allow “flexible” printing from a single unit in both black and white and colour and are “ideal for short-term sales campaigns”. The 910 has two-speed print modes of six inches per second and 12 inches per second, while the 810 runs at 12 inches per second.
Canon says the new models offer “sharper lines, increased render resolution, grayscale printing and a larger range of media handling capabilities” to enhance quality and precision. The devices print 3.4 billion drops of 1.2 pico-litres of acqueous ink per second, enabling lower ink usage than similar systems.
A new controller has four times the memory of the previous models, while the CPU has almost double the performance for speed and agility in busy environments, along with the Adobe PDF Print Engine for faster ripping of complex PDFs. The devices were to be made available in the USA from the beginning of this month.
Junichi Yoshitake, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Business Imaging Solutions at Canon USA, said: “These are designed to handle highly productive and demanding production environments where multiple operators are simultaneously sending print jobs.”
