2 Océ LightJet Sharp text, exceptional detail No visible dots Ultimate color fidelity Real-time hardware interpolation Fast imaging Application versatility Océ LightJet s imaging technology ensures a constant pixel size, shape, and intensity over the entire image. Media is held stationary within a precision internal drum, while a spinning mirror directs laser light to expose reflective and backlit photographic material. Using red, green, and blue lasers, Océ LightJet achieves true continuous-tone. Inkjet and electrostatic printers, which simulate photo quality with half-tone dot patterns, would need to image at 4000 dpi to duplicate the same image crispness, highlights, and shadow detail. Océ LightJet has a 36-bit color space capable of producing 68 billion colors, which ensures optimum control over the light source to reproduce color with perfect fidelity. In comparison, other photo printers are limited to 24 bits or 16.7 million colors. Océ LightJet enhances sharpness through on-the-fly pixel interpolation. Because the pixels are faithful to the original image, the system can output small files at high resolution with no loss of sharpness. Its adaptive interpolation gives users the ability to sharpen some areas of an image while maintaining softness in other areas a feature not available on any other printer. Océ LightJet s top end speeds range from 430 square feet per hour to 485 square feet per hour, depending on model. Two models are available: Océ LightJet 500XL for prints from 50 inches to 76 inches wide and Océ LightJet 430 for prints from 30 inches to 50 inches wide. Select the model that best suits your business need.

3 Océ LightJet Wide Format Photo Laser Printers. Océ LightJet printers set the standard for true photographic quality. An internal drum holds photo media stationary while imaging with three lasers, achieving image quality superior to all wide format printers photographic, inkjet and electrostatic. The Océ LightJet family of printers is also fast, with models that image up to 485 square feet per hour onto media up to 76 inches wide. And, since photo materials are inexpensive, Océ LightJet offers the added advantage of low consumables cost per print. cé

4 Higher Speeds. Wider Formats. Greater Profits. Prints 485 ft 2 per hour No visible dots Full bleed to 76 inches Accurate color representation Uses low cost photo materials Long lasting durable media It s the right choice for production graphics shops that require high throughput and exceptional quality prints. Applications for Océ LightJet prints include fine art photography, point-ofpurchase posters, tradeshow displays and remote sensing images. Affordable investment Océ LightJet offers the best price/performance ratio of any photo printer. Photo materials are inexpensive, so profit per print is high. List price and maintenance costs are lower than nearest competitor. Your customers will pay a premium for the higher quality you can offer with Océ LightJet. The Océ LightJet 500XL can image onto media up to 76 inches wide, for single-panel oversized images. The Océ LightJet 430 can image onto media up to 50 inches, and is ideal for exhibits and point-of-purchase displays. Multiple applications High density backlit images for airport, advertising, entertainment, and point-of-purchase displays Fast imaging for multiple prints and fast turnaround projects Exceptional quality means Océ LightJet is the number one choice for fine art photography. Precise laser imaging is ideal for aerial photography and satellite imaging. Color consistency makes trade show graphics easy. Superior quality Océ LightJet offers higher image quality across the entire width of the print due to its internal drum architecture which holds the media stationary while imaging, ensuring the best possible accuracy from one edge of the image to the other. Internal drum imaging provides better image sharpness, highest density and color uniformity, uniform image quality, spot size, and highest geometric accuracy over the entire imaging surface. Internal drum technology offers benefits over capstan-style technologies found in competitive products, which begin to lose dot accuracy as the imaging angle shifts off of a precise 90 degrees. Océ LightJet models have won more awards for quality than any other wide format photo printer: DIMA SHOOT OUT AT PMA 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 (two awards) DPI PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 1996, 2001 COOL 2 AWARD 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 COMFOT MEXICO SHOOT-OUT 2001 PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESSING TOP PRODUCTS 2001 True photographic Océ LightJet uses continuous tone photographic media, which means each point on an image can be any shade of 68 billion colors. The higher range of possible colors results in more accurate representation of color-sensitive subjects, such as skin tone. Océ LightJet s 300 dpi continuous tone images provide a visual resolution of 4,000 dpi.

5 High throughput Océ LightJet printers are the fastest wide format photo imagers available, with print speeds up to 485 square feet per hour on the Océ LightJet 500XL, and up to 430 square feet per hour on the Océ LightJet 430. Since Océ LightJet s hardware interpolation does not compromise image quality, you can work with smaller original files, making preparation and process more efficient, lessen the burden on the network, and reduce data transfer times. Files are interpolated on-the-fly as part of Océ LightJet s imaging process, saving a step over competitive products using a software program Open interface An open interface lets you choose the ideal digital workflow for your production environment. Océ LightJet FE software accepts digital files from networks and third party RIPs using a hot folder. Onyx PosterShop for the Océ LightJet is the recommended software to drive the Océ LightJet 430 and Océ LightJet 500XL, featuring tiling, nesting, step-and-repeat, color profiling, and a scalable client-server architecture.
