Single footprint benefits stack up
Océ introduces a new large format monochrome printer, designed to make it simple for users to print, copy and scan low volumes of technical documents.
The Océ PlotWave 300 prints 2.3 A0s per minute and is available with one or two paper rolls. It is also available as a multifunctional version that has a smaller footprint than its predecessors with the colour scanner stacked on top of the printer rather than located to the side.
Users can print from, or scan to, any USB memory stick and the system includes a number of green features, such as Océ radiant fusing technology, designed to fuse toner onto paper efficiently. Thin metallic tiles are used to radiate heat and these are claimed to heat up and cool down quickly. Benefits are listed as instant start-up, minimal energy use, minimal noise when idling and no extra ventilation required to keep it cool.
Director of Océ UK's wide format printing systems, Duncan Smith, said: "The new system addresses the trend to decentralised printing in technical documentation."
Constructed of solid, hard wearing materials, the Océ PlotWave 300 is designed to last. Critical components, such as the imaging drum and moving parts are enclosed to reduce contamination and high use parts, like the paper drawers and panels, are made of reinforced materials to protect them from contact with dust. Separate paper paths also help reduce paper jams.
