Océ Offers Customers Secure Printer Access

A partnership between Océ North America and HID Global allows Océ customers to gain secure access to their MFPs by presenting their proximity cards to the reader

TRUMBULL, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Océ, an international leader in digital document management, today announced that HID Global OMNIKEY® brand readers are now available for Océ MFPs. Since the readers are fully interoperable with HID Global access cards, any organization can now utilize the same HID contactless access card that they use to secure their building to access an Océ MFP.

Authenticating with the same HID card used for other purposes enables an end user to have a less cumbersome and time-consuming log-on process. Instead of carrying around multiple cards or having to remember another password, a simple presentation of an HID card to the reader grants instant access to any Océ MFP configured by an administrator. The reader also makes it easy for IT departments to integrate MFP security into their overall security policy and procedures.

“In today’s office, information and document security are increasing concerns. Our customers are implementing security policies to control, manage and secure usage of MFPs but often at the expense of forcing users to remember user names and unique passwords. Using the same access card that may be used to enter their buildings or facilities enables users to more easily authenticate to and use their MFP and work within the security policies their company has set in place. For IT and security officers, it means easier implementation and management of MFP based security policies across their network,” said Thomas O’Neill, Director Product Operations; Quality & Technology Center, Océ North America, Document Printing Systems.”

After an HID OMNIKEY brand smart card reader is installed by an Océ technician, each enabled device can be programmed individually to recognize users. Alternatively, with the addition of PRISMAenterprise™ Authentication Manager software, an administrator can remotely enter a user’s information once, resulting in immediate recognition from all compatible devices. Adding additional modules of the Océ PRISMAenterprise Suite such as Account Manager and My Panel Manager allows for central tracking and assignment of costs by user, user group, device and device group. Users may also establish personal address books, default startup screens and program custom shortcut keys that appear only upon their login.

Availability

HID OMNIKEY brand readers are now available from Océ direct sales offices. A variety of acquisition plans are available, please visit www.oceusa.com.

New Océ Arizona 350 XT UV curable flatbed printer for huge,

New Océ Arizona 350 XT UV curable flatbed printer for huge,
high quality prints

Extra-large 8-foot by 10-foot table, White Ink Option, and Roll Media Option in one printer deliver true production capability at the highest possible print quality

Feb. 10, 2009 – Trumbull, CT – The award-winning Océ Arizona® family of digital flatbed printers has expanded yet again with the introduction of the Océ Arizona 350 XT printer with a dramatically enlarged flatbed table. This latest model in the Océ Arizona family is capable of producing rigid prints as large as 98.4 by 120 inches. A White Ink Option and a Roll Media Option are also available. The Océ Arizona 350 XT printer will make its U.S. debut in Océ booth #4343 at the International Sign Expo, April 16-18 in Las Vegas.

Extra width increases rigid printing capacity
The extra width of the Océ Arizona 350 XT printer enables it to be used in a continuous imaging mode for rigid media up to 49.2 by 98.4 inches, or a standard 4- by 8-foot board. Two rigid boards of this size can be mounted on separate vacuum areas of the flatbed table. While one board is being printed, the other can be changed by the operator. Since the printer never has to stop printing for a media change, users can significantly increase their net print production on boards of this size.

With the Roll Media Option installed, users can print onto flexible media up to 87 inches wide. The media roll can be unloaded at any time without interrupting rigid printing, and there is no down time to reconfigure the system to change from one print mode to the other.

These features were designed to deliver a true production printer regardless of media. With the Océ Arizona 350 XT printer, digital print providers can offer complete visual communications packages on a wide variety of media and be assured of high throughput, superior image quality and print consistency.

Production print speeds
The Océ Arizona 350 XT printer features production print speeds up to 248 square feet per hour on rigid media and up to 188 square feet per hour using the Roll Media Option. This enables users to print nearly sixty 4- by 8-foot boards in a single eight-hour shift, or more than 1615 square feet of flexible media.
A member of the award-winning Océ Arizona Series Joining the world's best-selling UV curable, flatbed printer line, the new, larger Océ Arizona 350 XT printer supports all the upgrades and options available for the Océ Arizona Series including the White Ink Option, Roll Media Option and Static Suppression Option. When fully equipped, the Océ Arizona 350 XT printer can image on almost any rigid or flexible media used in the display graphics market in brilliant CMYK color plus white. It can produce a variety of visual communications from banners to backlits and foam-board to furniture.

Additional features to popular Océ Arizona family
The Océ Arizona 350 XT printer adds an extra large table platform to the popular Océ Arizona family of UV curable flatbed printers. The other Océ Arizona models can print onto rigid media up to 49” wide x 98” long x 1.89” thick. The Océ Arizona 350 GT printer uses four-color (CMYK) inks with a White Ink Option and prints at speeds of up to 239 square feet per hour. The Océ Arizona 250 GT printer uses four-color (CMYK) ink and prints at speeds of up to 172 square feet per hour. The Océ Arizona 200 GT printer also uses four-color (CMYK) ink and prints at speeds of up to 101 square feet per hour.

Available options help customers grow their business
The Océ Arizona Series of printers offers a secure investment with upgrade paths and available options that can be added as business needs grow. All can be equipped with a Roll Media Option in the factory or in the field. The Océ Arizona 350 XT and the Océ Arizona 350 GT printers can be upgraded to include the White Ink Option in the factory or in the field. The Océ Arizona 200 GT printer – designed for light production environments – can be upgraded to the Océ Arizona 250 GT version to take advantage of higher production speeds. All Océ Arizona Series printers use UV curable inks and Océ VariaDotTM imaging technology to deliver near-photographic image quality for nearly any application. And they all share the same robust architecture and deliberate design that offer the Océ values of quality, reliability, productivity and user-friendliness.

White ink expands capabilities
The available White Ink Option for the Océ Arizona 350 XT printer enables under-printing for non-white media or objects, over-printing for backlit applications on transparent media and printing white as a spot color. Under-printing white ink provides a base for non-white surfaces upon which color can be added, giving users the ability to expand their range of offerings to include specialty applications. Over-printing white ink provides a diffusion layer for backlit applications that will be viewed from the unprinted side, enabling users to produce high quality backlit images for point-of-purchase applications. The ability to also print white ink as a spot color enables white features of images to be highlighted for greater effect.

Opportunities for applications that command premium prices
The flatbed table on the Océ Arizona 350 XT printer is so big, users can print on oversized items such as garage doors. It can also print on irregularly shaped or non-square items, heavy substrates such as glass, or materials that have an uneven surface such as wood. This is an advantage over competitive rigid-capable printers that use belt or friction-based media feed systems as they can only print on square-cornered, lightweight materials of uniform thickness. The Océ Arizona 350 XT printer, along with the White Ink Option, opens the printing possibilities to more exotic applications that command premium prices.

The Roll Media Option gives customers the ability to print onto flexible media including vinyl, self-adhesive vinyl, scrim banner, paper and blue backed paper without compromising the rigid printing workflow. The media roll can be unloaded at any time without interrupting rigid printing, and there is no down time to reconfigure the system to change from one print mode to the other.

Beyond display graphics applications
The Océ Arizona 350 XT printer is ideal for producing a wide variety of display graphics such as event graphics, point-of-purchase displays, limited-term signage, banners, backlit and reflective rigid displays, transit advertising, and directional signage. But because of its ability to print on a range of materials not predetermined simply by “square, flat and thin” and its support of white ink, the Océ Arizona 350 XT printer can produce applications beyond the norm including custom furniture, glasswork, fixture enhancement, fine art, or nearly anything that the imagination can conceive.

Availability
The Océ Arizona 350 XT printer is expected to be available for U.S. deliveries in the second quarter of 2009. For more information, visit www.oce.com.
