Maximum flexibility, maximum ROI
To maximize return on investment, print operations demand flexibility from their equipment, and the Océ ColorStream 10000 Flex system offers a solution for the range of requirements encountered in today’s market. Some operations face a moderate increase in color workload, but still need the productivity of a high quality continuous feed printing system for heavy monochrome volumes. Customers investing in a monochrome system today can also easily grow into additional color capabilities when necessary.
Efficiency for mixed color and monochrome environments
A surprising number of customers still produce a large volume of their workload in monochrome, and they look for a solution that can secure their business now and give them a future as they move into color. For those customers, Océ combines both benchmark black and white speed with continuous feed color productivity, all switchable with a click.

Adaptable productivity
The Océ ColorStream 10000 Flex brings a significant increase in monochrome productivity for the Océ ColorStream family of continuous feed digital printing presses.

With the ability to mix color and monochrome pages in one run, printers can extend their application variety with a single, straightforward workflow. The innovative Océ ColorStream digital press automatically adapts speed and costs within one job according to the application’s color use.
