TRUMBULL, CT—August 3, 2011—Océ, a Canon Group company and an international leader in digital document management, announced that IWCO Direct will be the first U.S. installation of the Océ ColorStream 3500 inkjet printing system. IWCO Direct will deploy the system at its Chanhassen, MN, facility in early August 2011. The high-speed, production printer makes it possible for customers to move more easily from monochrome to full-color output.
“We are committed to digital continuous color printing, and we expect to lead the way in integrating it appropriately into our customers’ direct mail streams,” said Jim Andersen, IWCO Direct president and CEO. “With the addition of the Océ ColorStream 3500 color inkjet system, we will accelerate opportunities and options for our customers to develop more personalized and relevant marketing messages.”
In addition to Océ printing technology, IWCO Direct uses Océ PRISMA workflow software to drive production for all its high-volume systems, including non-Océ devices.
“We are pleased to extend our long relationship with IWCO Direct by providing them with the first Océ ColorStream 3500 inkjet printing system installed in the United States. This commitment shows that IWCO Direct is serious about growing its business and serving customers with the most advanced, affordable and appropriate technology,” said Francis McMahon, vice president, marketing, Océ North America, Production Printing Systems.
