Oce PlotWave 360
Canon has enhanced its wide format portfolio with the launch of the Océ PlotWave 340 and Océ PlotWave 360 printers.
The devices aim to help technical users working on projects with other parties via online portals, or the cloud, and who require more flexibility from their multifunctional printing system.
The PlotWave 340 and PlotWave 360 feature the new ClearConnect multi-touch user panel, which is similar to tablet technology and enables operators to open a document, zoom in and out and pan to specific areas to check critical details. Operators are able to view a live ‘what you see is what you print’ preview while scanning or copying, helping to avoid costly errors.
Files can be pulled to the new PlotWave printers from cloud-enabled workflows and scanned to the cloud of choice, simplifying workflows with remote project members. Users can also print files from a USB stick or other network locations.
Those that need to access the new printers and print via a mobile device can do so using the Publisher Mobile App. For more complex document sets, users can print from a desktop PC via Océ Publisher Select.
The machines can print up to six plots in one minute, with virtually no warm-up time, due to Radiant Fusing technology. From cold, the process takes less than 40 seconds, compared to the four minutes typical of conventional printers. Both devices offer a high print resolution of 600 x 1200 dpi.
Duncan Smith, wide format group director, said, ‘The new Océ PlotWave printers provide users with the means to save time and money when printing, copying and scanning low volumes of technical documents. They offer a new standard in user interaction and cloud integration, along with excellent print quality and speed.’
