Océ Writes the Book on Digital Printing with ‘Roll Over Gutenberg’

As a thought and industry leader in the fast-developing field of digital book printing and publishing, Océ is demonstrating live production of “Roll Over Gutenberg” at drupa. The book is being produced in an automated digital production workflow that merges color and black and white pages inline from a cutsheet system. The book combines prints from two digital printing systems—the Océ VarioPrint? 6250 single-pass duplex system and the Océ CS650 Pro color printer. The near-perfect registration of the Océ VarioPrint 6250 system delivers perfectly aligned text blocks on every page of the book, ensuring that quality standards are always met. The Océ CS650 Pro system is known for its outstanding color on a variety of media. The process is controlled by Océ PRISMAprepare™, a software solution that enables end-to-end workflow management from pre-press to production. Océ PRISMAprepare software separates the monochrome and color sections of the book, ensuring that page data is routed to the appropriate printer. The software then controls the post-print merging to reassemble and finish the book.
