October 10, 2006, Chicago - Oc© (NASDAQ: OCENY), a global leader in digital document management and delivery systems, today announced that the Oc© TCS500, the world's fastest large format color print/copy/scan system for CAD and GIS applications, has received a "4-Star, Highly Recommended" rating from BERTL, an independent, industry-leading source of product evaluation reports and comparative analyses. Of the hundreds of digital imaging devices evaluated by BERTL, only a select few that demonstrate superior business-critical functions and deliver a high return on investment receive this coveted rating.

"This recognition from BERTL helps to further substantiate the many benefits the Oc© TCS500 brings to large format color CAD and GIS printing workflow in the key areas of productivity, quality, ease of use, and reliability," said Sal Sheikh, Vice President, Marketing, Oc© Wide Format Printing Systems division of Oc© North America.
