OUTPUT DEVICES Océ ColorWave 600 Poster Printer VLF Series of XL Presses The packaging market continues to evolve, and with it the need for reliable presses that can cope with any run length, any time. Heidelberg has answered this need by extending its Peak Performance XL series presses into the Very Large Format (VLF) category, and currently leads the market with the 57-inch Speedmaster XL 145 and 64-inch Speedmaster XL 162 (VLF Series), the fastest and most productive presses in the VLF format class. As run lengths get shorter, Heidelberg's VLF series presses offer systematic savings by eliminating makeready steps, automating manual processes, and by synchronizing key func- tions. Faster makereadies and higher production speeds yield higher output only if the press can be maintained and serviced efficiently. Via the Prinect Press Center, users can access all press and peripheral information via Remote Service 24/7, enabling continued production as the press is monitored by the "e-Call" self-monitoring system. Each VLF press also comes with a complete three-year coverage program, Systemservice 36plus, which includes remote service, preventive maintenance, parts and labor—as well as maintenance inspections at 10, 20, and 30 months. www.MyPrintResource.com/10005802 The Océ ColorWave 600 Poster Printer is now available in the United States. Designed for cost-effective, high production poster print- ing, the Océ ColorWave 600 Poster Printer uses patented Océ CrystalPoint imaging technology to produce instantly dry, water-resistant prints that are cut-to-size and ready for immediate use. Up to six rolls of media from 11 to 42 inches wide can be loaded into the printer at one time, so the system is ready to produce posters of varying widths or media types, eliminating the need to change media between jobs and the need to manually trim standard sized jobs. Shifting the production of posters from traditional inkjet printers to the Océ ColorWave 600 Poster Printer reduces labor per print and media costs. Operators can be freed up for other tasks, since the system can run unattended at full production speed and, with the roll-to- sheet feature, no manual trimming is required for standard sized jobs. The Océ ColorWave 600 Poster Printer reduces media costs as well. It delivers high quality prints on a range of media from inexpensive uncoated bond paper to specialty media. www.MyPrintResource.com/10006967 VUTEk GS3250LX EFI's VUTEk GS3250LX UV-curing digital inkjet printer incorporates "cool cure" LED tech- Ricoh Pro C651EX/C751EX/C751 Color Production System Ricoh Americas Corporation's Pro C651EX/C751EX/C751 color production system delivers an unprecedented level of productivity and versatility and establishes a new price point for this class of system.
