Océ CS9000 eco-solvent printers
The Océ CS9000 eco-solvent printer line includes the Océ CS9050 and the Océ CS9160 (successor to the Océ CS9060). Both are high-quality, eco-solvent inkjet printers for creating indoor and outdoor display graphics prints. They are affordable, environmentally safe and easy-to-use systems that offer indoor and outdoor versatility.
The Océ CS9050 model is a basic, affordable, 54-inch wide eco-solvent printer that delivers high quality prints at production speeds. For shops considering entering the digital printing marketplace, the easy-to-use Océ CS9050 makes the transition simple. Commercial printers that want to begin offering outdoor-durable prints don't have to sacrifice quality or production print speeds with the Océ CS9050. Corporate customers can save outsourcing expenses by bringing display graphics printing in-house with the Océ CS9050.
Building on the success of its predecessor the Océ CS9060 model, the 64-inch wide Océ CS9160 printer provides proven reliability, superior print quality and increased productivity. The Océ CS9160 is a high quality, environmentally safe and easy-to-use system that offers the ability to produce both indoor and outdoor-durable prints. It is ideal for those just starting in the digital printing industry and for print providers using aqueous technology that want to start offering high quality outdoor prints. It is also an excellent choice for corporate customers that want to bring graphics production in-house.
Advanced print technologies
All Océ CS9000 Series printers offer superior print quality and ink economy through the use of four-color inks plus Océ CS9000 VariaDot™ imaging technology and WAVE Stitching print modes.
Océ CS9000 VariaDot imaging technology produces dots with variable drop sizes to deliver finer details, smoother gradients and sharper images. The use of Océ CS9000 VariaDot imaging technology results in significantly lower ink usage when compared to the ink usage of six color printers using fixed dot inkjet technology; 25 to 35 percent less ink is used.
WAVE Stitching prints in 'waves' instead of straight bands resulting in higher print quality, improved productivity and increased media versatility. With WAVE Stitching, the Océ CS9050 and Océ CS9160 can produce prints with consistent quality in Production print modes, even when more demanding media are used.
Environmentally safe eco-solvent system, easy to use
Eco-solvent inks offer customers the outdoor benefits of solvent inks, while making their use possible in a regular office, small print shop or storefront environment. There are no hidden costs for an optional air purification or ventilation system. The Océ IJC930 eco-solvent inks used in the Océ CS9050, Océ CS9060 and Océ CS9160 offer an outdoor durability of up to three years, without lamination.
