Océ CS665 Pro Equipped with MultiPunch Halves Time Needed to Bind Documents
Venlo, The Netherlands, 12 October 2009 - Oce, an international leader in digital document management and delivery, today announced it has added five additional finishing configurations including the new MultiPunch to its Oce CS665 Pro digital color press.
New finishing option makes 24 for Oce CS665 Pro
The in-line die-punching system automates an essential step for the binding of wire-, VeloBind(TM)-, color coil-, plastic comb- and ring-bound documents such as catalogs, calendars and booklets, cutting finishing time in half compared to manual binding. The Oce CS665 Pro, launched in 2008, now has eight finishers that provide 24 finishing options. Systems with the MultiPunch unit will be available for shipping beginning in October.
Highly productive professional binding
"The Oce CS665 Pro is designed to handle the most challenging jobs in corporate printrooms and commercial printshops," says Ap Stout, International Marketing Director, Oce Production Cutsheet Solutions. "Finishing is one of the most time-consuming parts of document production. Yet it adds that professional touch that customers desire.
"The MultiPunch is just the latest in a complete line of finishing options. It provides printing and die punching for several binding methods in one seamless workflow. In-line punching really speeds job turnaround and cuts labor costs. It also decreases the chance of errors."
With the Oce CS665 Pro and the MultiPunch, printers produce professionally finished documents in approximately half the time it takes to bind documents completely by hand. Stout says that this lets users deliver more print products in the same amount of time and with the same staff.
Flexible binding choices
"One of the reasons printers choose the Oce CS665 Pro is the system's extraordinary versatility," adds Stout. "Printers need to provide ever more flexibility,and they select production devices that best support them in delivering it. The MultiPunch offers die punching for all main binding methods. So while investing in only one system, printers can offer their customers multiple choices for professionally finished documents."
The MultiPunch supports the following binding options:
Loose-leaf (ring bind)
Wire bind
Plastic comb bind
VeloBind
Color coil
The system is available in two versions, allowing the 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 their Oce CS665 Pro.
System and software supported
All external controllers of the Oce CS665 Pro, including Oce PRISMA®sync, EFI and Creo, fully support the MultiPunch system. In addition, optional Oce 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.
