"The Océ CS6060 solvent inkjet printer, launched last year, is proving extremely popular on the overseas market and we are seeing growing interest in South Africa for this high-performance inkjet system," says Luis Roldan, divisional manager for Océ South Africa's Wide Format Printing Systems.

The Océ CS6060 is a 1,6 m wide, high performance inkjet system for professional display graphics applications. This high speed, high resolution printing system delivers high quality 720 dpi graphics with outdoor durability up to three years, at production printing speeds of an outstanding 16 m²/h. Developed and designed for the production of outdoor signs, banners and graphics, the Océ CS6060 is two- to five-times faster than other printers in its class.

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.

Exciting new ink technology offers an expanded colour gamut with outdoor durability. The new ink set breaks through the old barriers of colour and outdoor durability by producing deep shiny blacks and vibrant 'fire-engine' red colours while still delivering outstanding outdoor durability. The expanded gamut outdoor ink set includes six pigmented ink colours: cyan, magenta, yellow, black, light cyan and light magenta. Each ink is developed to jet reliably through the new industrial type wide piezo inkjet heads of the Océ CS6060 printer, and to provide industry-leading performance on a wide range of uncoated media, including adhesive vinyl, PVC banners, backlit films, fabric and paper.

The Océ CS6060 will be on show at the Océ OpenHouse 2005, being held from 28 February to 4 March at Poing, Germany.
