LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y. -- Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging and software solutions, today introduced the imageFORMULA DR-6010C departmental scanner. Building upon its highly successful and award-winning line of departmental scanners, the DR-6010C delivers flexibility, high-speed, reliable document handling and superior image quality in a small footprint design. The DR-6010C joins the imageFORMULA DR-4010C to strengthen Canon’s scanning solutions for departmental environments.
Recognizing many scanning environments must increase speed without sacrificing quality, the DR-6010C departmental scanner includes several advanced image-processing features in a convenient design for precise, yet rapid document capture. The DR-6010C can scan up to 60 pages-per-minute (ppm) and 120 images-per-minute (ipm)I, at resolutions up to 600 dots-per-inch (dpi). In order to maintain the integrity and quality of scanned documents without forfeiting scanning speeds, the new scanner includes features such as advanced three-line contact image sensor (CIS) technology, Bleed-Through Prevention/Background Removal, Moire Reduction, as well as Sensor Shading Mechanisms to produce precise, high-quality images.
“Most companies are looking for ways to maximize returns at all levels of the business system, and therefore need practical solutions for ad-hoc and mission-specific document capture tasks,” said Jim Rosetta, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “The new imageFORMULA DR-6010C departmental scanner offers a fast, reliable option without compromising overall image quality.”

May 12, 2009, Trumbull, CT – Océ, an international leader in digital document management, today announced that its wide format Océ ColorWave® 600 printer has received the EDP award for best emerging technology. Each year, the EDP, the independent European association for the digital print industry, awards the best products within the industry. This is the sixth major industry award that the Océ ColorWave 600 printer has received since its introduction in 2008.

Fundamentally new Océ technology behind this award
One key reason for the EDP recognition is the fundamentally new technology applied in the Océ ColorWave 600 printer, the Océ CrystalPoint^TM technology, developed in-house by Océ. It offers the best of both toner and inkjet in a single sustainable process. Customers can use it to make high quality black & white or color prints on uncoated plain or recycled paper. It is also an entirely sustainable technology. There is no toner powder, no odor and no ozone. It minimizes waste disposal, and because the technology does not require coated media, it also reduces the environmental impact of paper coatings.

"We are pleased to be recognized by EDP’s authoritative analysis of wide format printing systems," said Kevin Murphy, International Marketing Director in the Wide Format Printing Systems group at Océ. "This sixth award for the Océ ColorWave 600 system highlights Océ’s ability to provide hardworking, high-quality products that cover a broad spectrum of user needs."

May 7, 2009 – Trumbull, CT – Océ, a global leader in digital document management and delivery, today announced a new high performance Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) toner that enhances MICR printing productivity by nearly 18 percent. The new MICR toner offers significant improvements in image quality and toner adhesion. It is now available for the Océ VarioStream^® 8000 continuous feed product family, with future availability for other Océ continuous feed systems. Using the new MICR toner formulation, the Océ VarioStream 8750 simplex system will deliver printed MICR output at the rate of 750 ipm, and the Océ VarioStream 8750 twin system will deliver MICR printing at 1,500 ipm for letter-size pages, a new speed benchmark. Océ VarioStream Triplex MICR productivity has also increased nearly 43 percent to 1060 ipm as a result of the new High Performance toner. No other industry player offers MICR and over 400 highlight color choices possible with the Océ CustomTone® program for 2/0 twin MICR, or 2/1 MICR triplex printing.

Print service providers gain a competitive advantage when they can deliver high volume, readable MICR output within required production windows. Their customers must get to market quickly with promotional checks, hybrid promotional transactional ("TransPromo") statements, interest checks, coupon books, insurance Explanation of Benefits (EOBs), Image Replacement Documents (IRDs) and other applications requiring MICR. Print providers who can deliver on the promise of fast MICR printing increase their value to their clients. As a further benefit, when MICR jobs can be completed quickly, print providers have the extra capacity to take on more work.

With a MICR-capable Océ VarioStream system, print operations can produce a wider variety of documents and satisfy more client requirements on just one device. This helps reduce unnecessary burdens of additional equipment, resource planning, output management, data conversion and other issues that come up when multiple systems are required. Using exclusive Océ Quick Change Developer Stations, the high-performance MICR toner can be combined with Océ CustomTone spot printing, further extending the printer’s capabilities.

Lake Success, N.Y., May 6, 2009 – Continuing its tradition in delivering high-quality imaging devices, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging and number-one in the low-volume production document scanner market^*, today unveiled the imageFORMULA DR-9050C, DR-7550C and DR-6050C production scanners. First previewed at the 2009 AIIM / On Demand Trade Show and Exposition this year, these scanners deliver true high-speed scanning, capable of providing enterprises with reliable, flexible and high image-quality scanning solutions to enhance document management systems. The DR-9050C, DR-7550C and DR-6050C scanners will be replacing Canon imageFORMULA DR-9080C and DR-7580 production scanners.

Recognizing that most high-volume document scanning environments are not the same but may still require many similar features in a production scanner, these new imageFORMULA production scanners all share the same robust set of features and new technologies, with the only difference among them being the scanning speeds and feeder capacity. Whether scanning in color, grayscale or black-and-white, the Canon DR-9050C, DR-7550C and DR-6050C scanners maintain scanning speeds up to 112 pages-per-minute (ppm)/225 images-per-minute (ipm), 90ppm/180ipm and 65ppm/130ipm, respectively^**.

"Whether it's to capture financial documents, process insurance claim forms, or create Electronic Medical Records (EMRs), these scanners will bring a new level of performance to a variety of markets," said Jim Rosetta, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A. "The combination of speed, reliability and image quality will help any production scanning environment to reduce overall costs associated with document management and records retention."
