As the worlds of IT and production printing converge, many of these personalized documents are still printed in black & white. However, there s no denying the impact of color in transactional document marketing (transpromo) initiatives. The Océ ColorStream Flex system allows you to grow into color incrementally at your own pace, without compromising existing job requirements and budgets. With Océ CustomTone spot color, you can start out by adding corporate colors to invoices and statements and move up to fullcolor transactional document marketing when you re ready.

6 Continuous feed digital color press for print professionals Excellent output quality Océ GraphicArts dot modulation ensures brilliantly sharp reproduction of both black & white and color images, enriching applications with smooth gradations and finely-detailed reproduction of half tones and close-up images for line art, illustrations and photos. This unique imaging technique actually changes the dot size to achieve precise graphic arts quality, enabling the printer to vary the luminance of each indi vidual LED in 16 increments. For completely controllable, customizable output, integrated Océ FlexiDark tech nology can fine-tune black & white output to a specific look and feel by adjusting the optical density, without compromising print quality. Océ TonerSafe technology With Océ TonerSafe technology, changing toner bottles is not only quick and easy, it s also secure. Whenever an operator inserts a new toner bottle into the printer, the system checks the RFID tags on the bottle to make sure they match the Océ Quick Change Color Station. This prevents operators from printing jobs with the wrong color and prevents damage to the color stations. 1 Excellent front-to-back registration Precise front-to-back registration is a must for duplex applications like books and manuals. Designed for efficient, single-pass duplex printing, the Océ ColorStream Flex system prints and fuses both sides of the page simultaneously using contactless fusing. Because the web is fused only once, you don t have to worry about shrinkage between the front and back pages. Contactless fusing also prevents fine structures from being ironed out. The result? High-quality, fine-detail output with perfect front-to-back registration. Océ CustomTone color For applications requiring custom colors that fall outside the standard CMYK color gamut, Océ CustomTone offers yet another competitive edge. With Océ CustomTone, you can have colors specifically developed to match your corporate colors. The Océ ColorStream Flex system features a fifth color station that can be used to print an additional Océ CustomTone spot color in addition to full CMYK color. This capability makes the Océ ColorStream Flex system ideal for applications that require specific colors for logos or other branding purposes. Now you can easily include

Although not recommended, the TonerSafe feature can be permanently disabled at the customer s discretion for all toners by following directions in the user manual. 100 percent error-free production Like many print professionals, you want to know that your data prints exactly as expected. This is especially critical in transactional environments where data security is essential.
