New Oce ColorWave 300 Multifunction Printer Cuts Space Requirements and Cost of Wide Format Printing

TRUMBULL, Conn., Feb. 24 — (PRNewswire) — Oce, an international leader in digital document management and delivery, today announced the North American launch of the Oce ColorWave® 300, the world's first single footprint multifunction system that can print, copy and scan wide format documents in both color and black & white.

Saves space and investment costs

Companies no longer have to invest in separate systems for large format color and black & white documents. The new Oce ColorWave 300 multifunction printer is a true single footprint system for printing, copying and scanning. It is perfect for businesses with limited space as only one system is needed instead of two to print in both color and black & white, thereby saving floor space. It offers architects, engineering, construction and commercial printing companies an ideal alternative to conventional wide format toner systems.

Printing, copying and scanning – in color and black & white

Businesses can print, copy and scan color and black & white wide format documents on the Oce ColorWave 300 multifunction printer. It is the first system with a truly integrated scanner, meaning all functions can be controlled from one simple user panel, and there is only one IP address to maintain. Unique Oce technologies, like Oce Image Logic® and Oce Dynamic Switching, ensure first-time-right results. The powerful controller swiftly handles the most popular file formats – HPGL/2, PDF, DWF, and JPEG – without sacrificing speed. Users can print and scan documents via a USB flash drive.

Helps businesses print sustainably

This system offers an economical way to add color to enhance technical documents and produce color promotional materials. It delivers the ease of use and workflow efficiency of an Oce black & white system and the versatility of a color printer. As it is based on thermal inkjet technology, the system does not produce any ozone, dust or odors.
