Océ Open House 2007 - Germany
Adrian was
invited to attend the Océ
Open House at the Océ facility in Poing, near
Munich, Germany. Held from the 5th to 9th of March 2007
and billed as “Europe’s biggest digital printing
fair”, more than 5 800 individuals from 90 countries
attended.
It was a very well produced and organised show, and a
fantastic opportunity to view the latest digital printing
and finishing equipment, workflows and personalisation
software in action.
They had 63 full printing lines set up and running. I
think the most impressive for me was the “9000”
line, which is reel-fed and prints up to 1515 personalised
pages per minute. Together with the Sigma Binder, sheeters,
tensioners, conveyer system and three-knife trimmer, it
truly is “paper in one side and a book out the other”.
