Wednesday 02. April 2008 - Discover the great outdoors
The new Océ CS9050 is an affordable Eco-solvent printer for creating indoor and outdoor graphics. The Océ CS9050 is targeted at entrants into the outdoor digital printing field; commercial shops that want to start offering outdoor applications; and corporate customers that want to bring graphics production in-house.
Basic printer, great value
The Océ CS9050 is a basic, affordable, 137-cm (54-inch) wide Eco-solvent printer that delivers high quality prints at production speeds. For shops considering entering the outdoor digital printing marketplace, the easy-to-use Océ CS9050 makes the transition simple. Commercial printers that want to begin offering outdoor-durable prints dont have to sacrifice quality or production print speeds with the Océ CS9050. Corporate customers that want to save money by bringing display graphics printing inhouse, will also benefit from the Océ CS9050. It is an environmentally safe and easy-to-use system that offers indoor and outdoor versatility for all customers.
The Océ CS9050 combines value with ease-of-use. It is ideal for short run print jobs and can be used in light production environments where high quality output and outdoor durability are required. Sample applications include point-of-purchase displays, vehicle graphics, transit advertising, exhibit graphics, banners, museum graphics, wayfinding and window displays.
Advanced print technologies
The Océ CS9050 offers superior ink economy and print quality through the use of four-color inks and Océ CS9000 VariaDot imaging technology and WAVE Stitching print modes.
Océ CS9000 VariaDot imaging technology
Océ CS9000 VariaDot imaging technology produces dots with variable drop sizes to deliver finer details, smoother gradients and sharper images. The use of Océ CS9000 VariaDot imaging technology results in significantly lower ink usage of the Océ CS9050 when compared to the ink usage of six color printers using fixed dot inkjet technology; 25 to 35 percent less ink is used.
WAVE Stitching
WAVE Stitching was first introduced in the Océ CS9000 Series; it prints in waves instead of straight bands resulting in higher print quality, improved productivity and increased media versatility. In the Océ CS9050, WAVE Stitching is available in all print modes. With WAVE Stitching, the Océ CS9050 can produce prints with consistent quality in Production print modes, even when more demanding media are used. The level of banding in Production print modes is greatly reduced to less than that of many solvent printers in High Quality mode.
Production speeds & high quality output
The Océ CS9050 delivers unmatched productivity compared to other printers in its price segment. Print speeds of up to 14 square meters (151 square feet) per hour are achieveable.
Multiple print modes, including 1440 x 1440 dpi, 1440 x 720 dpi, 720 x 720 dpi and 540 x 720 dpi are available.
Environmentally safe Ecosolvent system
Eco-solvent inks offer customers the outdoor benefits of solvent inks, while making use possible in a regular office or small print shop environment. There are no hidden costs for an optional air purification or ventilation system. Coated and uncoated media can be used for indoor and short- to mid-term outdoor applications. The Eco-solvent inks used in the Océ CS9050 offer an outdoor durability of up to three years, without lamination.
Océ provides a complete assortment of roll-based media including self-adhesive vinyl, banner and textiles, as well as various indoor and outdoor papers and a range of specialty products.
