Chicago, March 27: Océ (Nasdaq: OCENY), a global leader in digital document management and delivery systems, today announced that the Océ TDS450 large format digital print/copy/scan system has received a 4-Star, Highly Recommended rating from BERTL, an independent, industry-leading source of product evaluation reports and comparative analyses. Out of hundreds of devices, only a small number qualify for BERTL's prestigious 4-Star, Highly Recommended rating. This rating is reserved for those devices that deliver a range of business-critical features/functions that are above average and provide potential buyers with a good return on investment (ROI).

Elizabeth McNichol, Vice President of Corporate Relations for BERTL, said, "We were really impressed with the quality and the functionality of Océ TDS450, which stood head and shoulders above the competition. It is as feature-rich as higher end models, and it's built to withstand years of operation. Even under the rigorous conditions with which we test wide format devices, the Océ TDS450 is extremely impressive."

"We are honored to receive a 4-Star, Highly Recommended rating from BERTL for the Océ TDS450, right on the heels of the same rating for the Océ TCS500 large format color CAD printer last quarter. This level of continued recognition underscores Océ's enduring commitment to the technical document printing market, with powerful solutions that meet the needs of a new breed of user who requires simplicity of use yet sophistication of output," said Sal Sheikh, Vice President, Marketing, Océ Wide Format Printing division of Océ North America.

The Océ TDS450, which is available as a 600 dpi large format printer, copier or multifunction system, is ideally suited for both walk up print/copy environments and as a workgroup solution for businesses looking to upgrade the quality, productivity and reliability of their technical document workflow. Its flexible and configurable design, intuitive user interface and automated functions make the Océ TDS450 extremely user-friendly and time-efficient. The system's patented Océ Power Logic® controller allows for fast processing of large files - up to two E-size prints per minute.
