Highest honor According to BERTL, a Beyond 5 Star Rating denotes a system that is "reserved for the best of the best, the elite level performers in their class, delivering unparalleled quality." In its analysis of the Océ VarioPrint 6250, BERTL called Océ Gemini Instant Technology "one of the most groundbreaking technological advancements in the history of electrophotography." BERTL stated that the VarioPrint 6250 was the most productive digital duplex cut sheet currently on the market and that it had the highest image quality and duplex registration of any system BERTL had seen to date. The report also cited the system for its ability to handle a wide range of media at high speeds while delivering outstanding quality.

Testing in the field
BERTL evaluated the Océ VarioPrint 6250 in several environments, including the site of a customer that produces large numbers of short- to medium-run books. BERTL stated that the Océ VarioPrint 6250 performed admirably in the field, saying that the customer had run the system "under extreme workloads with little, if any, unscheduled downtime." The Océ VarioPrint 6250 is well suited for this type of application. The instant duplex technology supports 100% perfect registration for books, manuals and other publications, since the system prints both sides simultaneously. In addition, advanced active dynamic registration technology uses a battery of sensors to ensure perfect sheet positioning and print registration.

Multiple award winner
The BERTL recognition was the most recent of several awards for the Océ VarioPrint 6250, which was introduced in March 2006. The Production printer also received BERTL's On Demand Best of Show award in 2006, the InterTech 2007 Technology Award from Printing Industries of America/Graphic Arts Technical Foundation (USA) and Best Product of the Year 2007 and Best Production Cutsheet Monochrome printer from the European Digital Press Association (EDP).
