The Océ ColorWave 600 printing system
Introduction
The Océ ColorWave 600 is the first wide format TonerPearl printer in the world and
consequently also the first of a new family of color wide format printers that use the new
patented 'Océ CrystalPoint®' technology. The Océ ColorWave 600 delivers effortlessly
easy CrystalPoint quality prints on plain paper, with all-around productivity for a wide
range of applications in an entirely sustainable concept.
The patented 'Océ CrystalPoint®' technology combines the best of the world of Toner
with the best of the Inkjet-world in an entirely sustainable process.
From the world of toner, the 'Océ CrystalPoint®' technology gives you water-fast, direct
dry prints with an even stronger adhesion you are used to from Océ LED systems. Add
the media independence, and consistency of output and 'Océ CrystalPoint®' technology
capitalizes on the great aspects of the toner world.
From the inkjet-world, 'Océ CrystalPoint®' technology has adopted the accuracy of
printing, and the cleanliness of the system (no ozone or system contamination).
