Oce JetStream 1100 & 2200
April 17, 2008

Lately we’ve been talking about the hyped message in the press that new inkjet technologies shown at DRUPA could result in inkjet displacing offset as the dominate technology used for commercial printing. Two other products fueling this interest, are from Oce.

At a Oce Press & Analysts Event in Boca Raton Florida on Dec 3-5 2007, Oce announced the JetStream 1100 single-engine system and the Océ JetStream 2200 twin system. The Océ JetStream 1100 is a four color inkjet press running at 492 fpm. With a print width of 20.3" and paper width of 20.5", the Océ JetStream 1100 system can produce up to 1,074 letter impressions per minute in two-up simplex format.

The Océ JetStream 1100 system is duplex press with a single engine printing at 1,074 letter impressions per minute. By using a narrow web (9.5" or 242 mm max), the Océ JetStream 1100 system can print on one side, then turn the form and print on the back side with the same engine.

The two-engine Océ JetStream 2200 system prints color at 500 fpm. With a print width of 20.3" and paper width of 20.5", the Océ JetStream 2200 system can print 2,148 letter impressions per minute in two-up duplex format. The Océ JetStream 1100 version is fully field-upgradeable to the Océ JetStream 2200 model.

The Océ JetStream family uses Océ DigiDot piezoelectric drop-on-demand inkjet technology to produce small, variable drop sizes. Océ DigiDot technology also allows multi-level printing by varying drop sizes within the application for richer gray scales, contour-free gradients and finer details.
