The 12th Océ OpenHouse is being held from 28 February to 4 March at the Océ facility in Poing.

For the duration of Océ OpenHouse, Germany becomes an oasis for thousands of printing and document management professionals.

Océ OpenHouse is the global launch pad for new Océ products. Here is a foretaste of some of the latest Océ products that will be seen at OpenHouse:

The Océ TDS800 ProSeries high volume multifunctional wide format system is based on unique Océ printing technology that can be configured to the user's needs. Offering a choice of speeds, independent of job type or workload, and two, four or six rolls, the TDS800 can be upgraded at a later stage to increase both speed and number of rolls.

A new Océ black and white cutsheet printer will represent the next step in transaction and variable data print applications. Built for producing long print runs, multiple smaller jobs or proofs on a variety of media, this system maintains its throughput in simplex and duplex.

The Océ CS6060 offers top quality and outdoor durability in display graphics. This is a high resolution printing system that delivers high quality 720 dpi graphics at production printing speeds. This six-colour printer is ideal for short-run print jobs and is designed for moderate production environments where high quality output and outdoor durability are required.

Introduced in December 2004, the Océ CPS800 adds another powerful printing system to Océ's colour line-up. This machine is geared to the needs of printing professionals in corporate printrooms and commercial printshops. Delivering consistent offset-quality colour, the CPS800 performs reliably and productively on a wide range of media, producing a wide variety of applications.

Also launched in December 2004, the Océ VarioPrint 2100 is a scalable printing solution that gives flexibility and the opportunity to customise functionality. It offers maximum output via multitasking and automated image enhancing to ensure consistent quality.

Flexible, modular, scalable, customisable - Océ PRISMA workflow solutions address the entire scope of document output management, for both corporate environments and commercial companies. Océ PRISMA is customised for office, printrooms, printshops, PoD, ERP and transaction.
