FULL PRESS RELEASE

Océ JetStream 1000 offers Itella new business opportunities

Itella Sweden invests in full-colour quality printing

Venlo, The Netherlands, 29 November 2010 - Océ, an international leader in digital document management and delivery, today announces that Itella, a leading provider of information and product workflow management, will install an Océ JetStream® 1000 in January 2011. This is the third JetStream installation in the Stockholm area. The Océ solution consists of a JetStream 1000 with Tecnau dynamic perforation equipment, supported by Océ PRISMA®production software.

Perfect partnership for Itella’s transition to full-colour printing

Itella is a worldwide service business specialising in information and product workflow management for the support of customers' critical business processes in selling and marketing, delivery and invoicing activities. Itella's key customer industries are retail and wholesale trade, media, finance and telecommunications industries and the public sector.

Océ is an ideal business partner to guide Itella through the complex value chain from job submission to printed end results. Key functions that were missing were identified by carefully analysing Itella's current black & white workflow. The new Océ JetStream 1000 will guarantee top-quality full-colour printing products, plain white paper being transformed into dynamic full-colour documents, thus reducing the need for storage of various preprinted customer logo papers. With this new solution in place, Itella takes an important step from black & white printing towards the attractive field of top-quality colour printing.

Underscoring Océ’s leadership in high-volume digital production colour

The Océ JetStream has been a success story from day one. Already 100 Océ JetStream presses have been installed worldwide since product shipment started in mid 2008.

“Selling the Océ JetStream to Itella is once more powerful proof of the market-leading performance of our inkjet technologies and business innovations for high-speed production colour printing,” says Sebastian Landesberger, Executive Vice President, Océ Production Printing. “The Océ JetStream will help Itella maximise productivity in the company’s transaction print environments covering the entire business and process value chain. Itella can use the Océ JetStream 1000 to produce either ‘black only’ documents or full-colour prints with the option of up to 6/6, all at production speeds and 600 dpi resolution.”

Future-proof innovation for TransPromo and graphic arts

Consistent use of common components throughout the Océ JetStream series provides all the benefits of innovation at low risk. Common to the entire Océ JetStream family are Océ’s field proven DigiDot® inkjet technology and the high-performance SRA MP controller. Océ DigiDot drop-on-demand inkjet technology results in less ink consumption and lowers customers' operating costs. And its multilevel printing offers a finer gradation of dot sizes, hence a smoother image representation and a stronger appearance of fine details. The Océ JetStream’s SRA MP controller offers full-speed variable data printing in AFP/IPDS with built-in data integrity, error recovery and full-colour management. It also includes the Adobe® Print Engine option, leveraging “ready-to-print” PDF forms and shells.

Itella’s new PRISMAproduction Server is a high performance workflow and output management system for TransPromo and graphic arts environments. The fully automated workflow administration ensures flexibility and stability and the professional spooling system includes data conversion and prepress workflow capabilities. The modular Océ PRISMAproduction Server is completely scalable, so it can grow with additional functionality when Itella needs it.
