An objective assessment of large format color printing
BERTL analysts review current product lines and new product introductions to identify the select group of devices and software that are superior to others. BERTL analysts look not only at how well a product performs in various real-world settings, but also what specific aspects of the device and under what circumstances make analysts stand up and take notice. BERTL covers the entire digital imaging and document management arena.
Innovative design of Top Delivery Tray eliminates need for receiving tables
Following the launch of the Oce ColorWave 300 system in the U.S. in February 2010, a revolutionary top delivery tray was added to the large format printing system with dynamic anti-curl functionality that neatly stacks and collates documents. It eliminates the need for extra space for receiving tables. The top delivery tray consumes less energy than conventional stacking tables, which apply a heated roll to flatten the media curl. The device is ENERGY STAR® and RoHS compliant.
Its low-energy consumption and ergonomic design are fully in line with the Oce commitment to provide its customers and employees with a healthy and sustainable working environment. In addition, the engine of the Oce ColorWave 300 system is made of steel and the ink tanks of recyclable plastics. And the Oce Instant On technology, which starts up the system instantly, contributes to a more productive environment as users need not wait for the system to warm up before starting print or copy jobs.
The latest in a long line of BERTL awards
The BERTL Five Star Exceptional rating is the latest in a long line of awards that Oce has received for the technical, practical and business benefits of its innovative digital printing systems. On January 21, 2010, Oce was honored with the 2009 BERTL's Best designation for the Oce Arizona® 350 XT UV flatbed printer, named 'Best Innovative Technology for Wide Format.' The company also received a BERTL's best designation for the Oce PlotWave® 300 all-in-one large format, small footprint system, named 'Best Eco-Friendly Wide Format Printer.' Oce has received 10 BERTL awards since 2007.
