Technical Printing System Has Cloud Connectivity

Canon Solutions America, a provider of digital imaging solutions, recently announced the new Océ ColorWave 500 printing system, a large-format black-and-white and color printing, copying and scanning system with cloud connectivity. The company describes the printing system as ideal for generating CAD, GIS documents and color graphics in office and workgroup environments or as part of a central print room.

The Océ ColorWave 500 printing system is a compact, eco-friendly unit, measuring 6.89 x 2.95 x 5.18 ft.  (2100 x 900 x 1580 mm; W x D x H). The system uses Océ’s TonerPearls toner, which ensures no dust or odors and minimal waste disposal, according to Canon Solutions America. It can print on uncoated recycled media as well as carbon-neutral media. It also has certified de-inking properties.

This printing system deploys with a 10.4-in. touchscreen that provides access to Océ workflow software applications for submitting print jobs, managing print queues as well as print, copy and scan services. The touchscreen uses the tablet-like user interface from which walk-up users can obtain live document previews, zoom in on details, check a document’s position and organize files in a personal inbox.

For user convenience, the Océ ColorWave 500 printing system automatically selects print modes, positions images and determines the media roll that best fits a given job. Large volumes and sets, says Canon Solutions America, emerge on top dry, cut-to-size, stacked and collated. When copying or scanning, this printing system automatically detects the document’s width and compensates for wrinkles and light colors.
