Simultaneous duplexing is a revolutionary advance that completely changes the
existing duplex print paradigm. It not only accelerates speed and turnaround, but
also improves reliability and delivers numerous business benefits. More powerful
print engines reduce the total number of devices required as well as the time
required to get jobs out on schedule. At the same time, robust engineering
ensures system durability, which makes for a better long-term investment. And
the good news is that for Océ this is proven technology—Océ first introduced
simultaneous duplexing with its continuous feed Océ VarioStream
®
9000 series.
This innovative technology launched the next generation of break-
through performance, teaming single-pass duplex technology with the
addition of incremental color.
Harnessing faster speed, more reliable performance, and offset-class
quality, corporate and commercial users can reduce costs, increase prof-
itability, improve productivity, and enhance efficiency, while improving
volume-building opportunities and competitive strength. Simultaneous
duplexing can have a positive impact on business performance, enabling
every print provider to deliver breakthrough results.
Calculate the Productivity Difference
Productivity is more than a concept. It is a business differen-
tiator that can pay important dividends over the short run
and the long run. Productivity can mean the difference
between turning a job around on time and missing a critical
deadline. It can mean the difference between operating in the
black and floundering in the red. It can mean the difference
between advancing customer relationships and losing print
volumes. Productivity at its best combines people, processes,
and expertise to deliver more customer value. And the right
technology can make or break your business goals.
PrintMaster and the Océ VarioPrint 6250
Given a standard 10-hour day, and printing 132 duplex ledger-size prints
per minute (7,920 duplex prints per hour), PrintMaster can now output
79,200 prints per day—generating more than a 70 percent productivity
increase over the older equipment running at 77 prints per minute. As a
result, PrintMaster can produce its current volume of work in just 7.1
hours and expand its output capacity with just one Océ VarioPrint 6250.
Customers’ jobs are always completed on schedule with offset-like
quality and PrintMaster still has production capacity to accept more
work and drive top- and bottom-line growth.
Scenario 1 - the need for speed
Consider this scenario.
PrintMaster
is a commercial print shop that has served a loyal roster of customers for 20
years. However, the PrintMaster team began to notice that customers were bringing in more complex jobs and
wanting them faster. They also discovered that with their existing Xerox DocuTech® 6180, they couldn’t always get
the job done on time. PrintMaster looked to Océ and its VarioPrint 6250 to meet its business needs.
