March 30, 2009 –Trumbull, CT – Océ, an international leader in digital document management and delivery, announced the Océ CS Tandem family of production cutsheet color printers. Available in multi-engine Océ CS130Tpro, Océ CS195Tpro and Océ CS260Tpro configurations, engine speeds range from 130, 195 and 260 ppm respectively. The new offering unites multiple Océ CS665 Pro print engines with a centralized server, sophisticated color management software, and validated color consistency to deliver a new level of color performance in one integrated system.
Users can manage the resulting Océ CS Tandem solution from a single workstation, intelligently balancing workloads across engines – without sacrificing output quality. As a result, print providers looking to enter the production color market have a real alternative to offset presses and expensive, lower-quality color digital printers.

Fogra Certification Guarantees Consistent, Repeatable Color Quality
Combining robust FograCert print engines with color management methods developed by Océ, the Océ CS Tandem family consistently produces a high level of color accuracy and repeatability, even across multiple print engines. The Océ CS family was the first production color platform to be designated a FograCert Validation Printing System, a third-party validation that documents predictable, consistent and measurable quality.

Total Configuration Flexibility for Dynamic Production
With three configurations, the Océ CS Tandem family can meet a wide range of production color printing needs. Total flexibility results from the ability to choose twin, triplex or quadplex configurations, with multiple inline finishing options and three speed bands. The unique configuration flexibility of the Océ CS Tandem family offers benefits that have historically been out of reach with large, single-box cutsheet color systems. As a result, the systems are ideally suited for in-house printshops, digital printshops and commercial printers that need vibrant and consistent color quality, configuration flexibility, and machine backup with production capacity.

"This level of flexibility is unmatched in the production cutsheet color market. The ability to dynamically configure systems to print multiple jobs at once, print jobs in parallel, with built-in redundancy – all with Fogra-certified color consistency – raises the bar significantly," said Eric de Goeijen, Vice President of Marketing, Océ North America. "Industry-unique configuration flexibility ensures ultimate scalability and investment protection. Customers can add engines and capacity while maintaining a high level of repeatability, eliminating the need for the forklift upgrades commonly associated with 'big iron' color systems. This offers customers a level of investment protection that's critical in today's uncertain economy."
