Another trend in the market is vendors defining new niches based on the level of color capability.

Two systems from Océ North America had their first showing in the United States. The Océ Vario-Stream 9230 continuous printer device supports 3/3 printing of “Job Appropriate Color” at 231 impressions per minute with a 600 dpi resolution. Using Océ CustomTone technology, users can print black and two highlight colors on each side of a page. At 250 ppm, the new Océ VarioPrint 6250 is said to be the fastest cut sheet duplex printer (see page 32 of PRINTING IMPRESSIONS’ May 2006 edition for more details).
