The perfect production printer for Transaction, TransPromo, Direct Mail and Books

In the transactional market, documents are evolving into vehicles for promotional messages. The best of the IT world and the print industry combines to add value to documents and tie them in more closely with the target audience. Most of these documents are still B&W today. However, the importance of colour for TransPromo documents is indubitable. The Océ ColorStream 10000 Flex allows you to grow into colour incrementally at your own pace, without compromising existing job requirements and budgets. With Océ CustomTone® spot colour, print providers can add corporate colours to invoices and statements as the first step, and then expand to full-colour TransPromo communications.

In the direct mail market, you can take advantage of Océ Job Appropriate Colour® to offer your customers the most appropriate choices for their business goals. The Océ ColorStream 10000 Flex is a high speed production printer that brings maximum monochrome productivity combined with premium colour to the direct mail market. This positions print providers to take advantage of the widest possible range of direct mail business opportunities.

The Océ ColorStream 10000 Flex is the ultimate machine for the mixed colour and monochrome job environments found in many markets. Many books and manuals consist of either spot colour or a small number of full-colour pages, applications that are perfectly supported by the printer’s dynamic versatility and productivity. For customers in book and manual printing and other segments of the graphic arts market, the Océ ColorStream 10000 Flex offers distinct advantages, including excellent front-to-back print registration, and its ability to print on lightweight stocks makes it ideal for the pharmaceutical industry.

Best-in-class digital B&W engine

This makes the Océ ColorStream 10000 Flex the fastest toner-based, colour capable continuous feed printer on the market. This high speed printer offers maximum B&W productivity through to full colour production, plus additional CustomTone spot colours. With B&W speeds ranging from 800/852 ipm up to 1425/1515 ipm, it provides maximum productivity for customers with massive B&W print volumes. As colour volumes evolve, the printer can easily be expanded to full colour. The Océ ColorStream 10000 Flex offers a unique fit for customers who demand the running costs of a pure B&W printer, and the power of full colour – and who want it now or want to be capable of easily upgrading later.

Most flexible full-colour production printer

The colour-capable Océ ColorStream 10000 Flex empowers print professionals to embrace new opportunities for full colour, including the popular individualised applications that are fueling growth in the print industry. Operating at a speed of 168 A4/172 letter ipm, it can power through over four million full-colour images a month. When operating in 2/2 mode, the printer runs at a speed of 344 A4/352 letter ipm, in 3/3 mode at a speed of 228 A4/232 letter ipm, and in 5/5 mode at a speed of 136 A4/136 letter ipm. Digital print professionals can now maximise their investment in colour devices by also generating revenue from top quality, cost-effective CustomTone and B&W jobs, and benefit from new business opportunities with completely flexible full-colour, spot-colour and monochrome capabilities.

Appropriate productivity, appropriate costs

The Océ ColorStream 10000 Flex has the extraordinary ability to optimise its own speed – without intervention and within the same application, detecting B&W and full-colour pages automatically while maintaining its high quality. It prints colour at appropriate speed, and automatically adjusts speed upwards for B&W – giving you the dynamic productivity you need to turn out more print products in the same time and reduce your unit costs accordingly. The Océ ColorStream 10000 Flex ensures your productivity is driven by the needs of the job, not by technology, empowering you to make the most of your resources and leverage revenue-generating opportunities in colour, Océ CustomTone and B&W. In addition to getting the most appropriate productivity, customers also benefit from one of the most accurate accounting models available on the market thanks to the powerful dynamic pricing capability of the Océ ColorStream 10000 Flex. Dynamic pricing means that only pages really containing colour are calculated as colour pages according to whether 2, 3, 4 or 5 colours respectively are used, while B&W pages are clicked in B&W and at B&W costs.

TransPromo marries traditional transactional documents. The objective is to strengthen retention efforts, cross-sell, up-sell, and advance customer relationships

Océ developed the industry vision for technology and application convergence-with the knowledge that technology would have to evolve before customers could use complex customer data to transform customer-facing documents into marketing tools. Océ set the stage for TransPromo by offering an infrastructure of convergent digital printers and software that enabled higher resolutions, flexible use of data streams, and the ability to enrich transactional documents with variable text, images, and color.
