COLOR COPIERS & DUPLICATORS -- Creating Color that Clicks

Setting aside the advances in digital interfaces, the fundamentals of these print engines remain largely unchanged. However, a couple of new technologies and systems have been introduced that reengineer the imaging process itself.

Several years have passed since its original introduction, but the Océ CPS700 color printer (and copier) reportedly is now commercially available. The unique feature of the device is its use of seven-color imaging—CMYK+RGB—in one pass. The company says seven colors are used to improve the printer's color stability and accuracy, not increase its color gamut. The machine prints 25 ppm on stock weights up to 110 lb.
