MultiPunch Finishing Cuts Document Binding Time by Half
Latest
finishing options increase flexibility and productivity for cutsheet color
applications
October 12, 2009 – Trumbull, CT – Océ, an
international leader in digital document management and delivery, today
announced it has added five finishing configurations to its Océ CS665 Pro
digital color press with the new MultiPunch inline die-punching
system.
“Finishing is one of the most time-consuming steps of document
production, yet it essential for many booklet applications. With the new
MultiPunch configurations, the Océ CS665 Pro system offers a productive, high
quality color solution for an array of jobs that require professional binding.
Océ customers in corporate printrooms and commercial printshops can maximize the
potential of their Océ color systems and exceed the expectations of their own
customers through fast delivery and excellent quality,” said Eric de Goeijen,
Vice President Marketing, Océ North America Production Printing Systems
division.
Highly Productive Professional
Binding
The MultiPunch die-punching system automates a key
step in binding wire-, VeloBind®-, color coil-, plastic comb- and ring-bound
documents such as catalogs, calendars and booklets. The inline process provides
die punching for several binding methods in one seamless workflow. This speeds
job turnaround, cuts labor costs and decreases the potential for errors. With
the Océ CS665 Pro and MultiPunch systems, printers can produce professionally
finished documents in approximately half the time it takes to bind documents by
hand. Corporate printrooms and commercial printshops can deliver more print
products in the same amount of time and with the same staff.
One System with Maximum Finishing
Versatility
The MultiPunch is the latest in a series of
finishing options for the Océ CS665 Pro system. The Océ CS665 Pro system,
launched in 2008, now has eight finishers with 24 configurations. Users can
expand the services they offer and capture types of booklet production
opportunities.
“One of the reasons printers choose the Océ CS665 Pro
system is its versatility,” added De Goeijen. “The MultiPunch system offers die
punching for all leading binding methods. So while investing in only one system,
printers can offer their customers multiple choices for professionally finished
documents.”
The MultiPunch inline punch system supports loose-leaf (ring
bind), plastic comb bind, VeloBind and color coil binding options. The system is
available in two versions, allowing die punching of letter-size sheets and tabs
for the US market or A4-size sheets and matching tab papers for the rest of
world. The unit supports media weights from 75 to 216 g/m2. Eight different
user-exchangeable A4 dies and six letter-size dies mean printers can produce
several punch variations for different binding methods on one Océ CS665 Pro
system.
Available in Five
Configurations
Systems with the MultiPunch unit will be
available in October 2009. The new MultiPunch system is available in combination
with the following finishers: 100-sheet staple finisher,
multi-folding/punch/post inserting unit, booklet maker, high capacity stacker
and perfect binder. Users can easily choose the finishing functionality best
suited to their business needs.
All external controllers of the Océ CS665
Pro systems, including Océ PRISMAsync™, EFI® and Creo® models, fully support the
MultiPunch system. In addition, optional Océ PRISMAprepare™ document preparation
software gives users WYSIWYG views of die-punched documents so they can easily
preview and correct documents on screen without interrupting
production.
