Latest InfoTrends data confirms Océ position
Boca Raton, USA, 10 May 2006—Océ, a global leader in digital document management and delivery solutions, announces that it continues as the US market share leader in continuous feed printers, according to recently released InfoTrends data. The new InfoTrends "2004-2005 U.S. Production Copying & Printing Placements: Summary and Trends" report includes market share statistics that place Océ in the front position for the 80+ ppm roll fed segment for 2005 shipments. Océ continues to lead the segment with 41 percent of the 2005 market share of roll-fed printer placements in the United States.

"Océ has held the top position in the combined U.S. monochrome and spot color production roll-fed market since we began publishing market share in 2003, and this latest data shows they continue to lead this category, as they have since we first started tracking the segment in the late 1990s," said Charlie Corr, group director, InfoTrends.
