The company already has more than a 50 percent market share in that printer segment, noted Joseph Skrzypczak, president and CEO of Océ North America. “We expect that to grow…as we expand our market and geographic coverage and drive brand awareness.”

The new Océ JetStream platform is based on piezo-electric ink-jet (drop-on-demand) technology, which the company has branded DigiDot, that prints CMYK color with water-based inks. Currently being offered are the model 1100 single-engine (1,074 ipm, two-up letter) and model 2200 twin-engine (2,148 ppm) systems. Both offer a 600x600 dpi resolution with variable dot sizes for multi-level printing that is said to produce smooth gradients and finer detail appearance. The machines handle a maximum 201⁄2 ˝ roll width and a substrate range from 16-lb. to 40-lb. bond.
