Canon gives Varioprint 6000 an Oce overhaul

The Océ VarioPrint 6000 TITAN production press

The Océ VarioPrint 6000 TITAN series of digital cut-sheet monochrome presses from Canon have been developed to help print service providers to produce high quality black and white prints, at increased speeds and using a wider selection of media weights and formats.

Supporting volumes of up to 10 million A4 size impressions per month, the redesigned Océ VarioPrint 6000 TITAN series has a robust steel body and comes in three versions - Standard/TP(Transactional Print)/MICR - with a range of finishing options including booklet-making, perfect binding, tape binding, die punching, trimming. Also offered is an open Document Finishing Device (DFD) Interface for further connectivity to compatible 3rd party finishers on demand.

Following on from its predecessor, the VarioPrint 6000+ series, the increased maximum running speed of 328 A4 images per minute (ipm) in perfecting mode translates to a potential of over 30,000 additional images, in one week, in one shift operation. Four models are available to meet different speed requirements (VarioPrint 6180, 6220, 6270 and 6330), with the option for customers using the lower speed models to purchase temporary licences for increased speed to handle short-term or seasonal production peaks.

The new presses are optimised for the broadest range of media in the series' history. The TITAN Light Weight Media (LWM) Option with LWM Air Guide Technology enables printing on substrates as light as 45gsm.

Increased productivity is also supported by extended functionality in the TITAN series' PRISMAsync print server v7, which allows for advanced job scheduling for up to eight hours to enable unattended printing. Further tools such as PRISMAsync Remote Manager, Remote Control App for smart devices and the new PRISMAlytics Dashboard cloud service boost productivity by enabling remote management and monitoring of multiple engines. Windows 10 base, user authentication, and configurable UI are just some of the features that contribute to device security.

 'With the new TITAN series we have engineered a range of high performance monochrome presses that brings together the best technical attributes of the original VarioPrint platform with new technologies to push the boundaries of heavy black-and-white production still further,' commented Wayne Barlow, head of Graphics & Communications, Canon UK.

The new Océ VarioPrint 6000 TITAN series are scheduled to be available in Europe in Autumn 2017 and in the USA in 2018.
