Börsen-Zeitung
The German Börsen-Zeitung was also an early DNN pioneer. This specialist title sells to a niche German business and financial community in London and was an ideal application for printing at Stroma. Printing commenced in May 2001.newspaper still looks and feels like a traditional litho-printed version, yet we've reduced the length of time between completing the plates and printing the newspaper, which means our newspaper is available early in the morning.'
NZZ has reported an increase of over 50% on their newsstand sales by having the copies on sale at 6 am on the morning of publication.

Börsen-Zeitung was motivated to print digitally in London because it could serve its specialist community with the most up-to-date information, which is absolutely vital for this business and financial target group.

Dagbladet Børsen
This Danish daily financial paper was an early adapter to the digital model and has been printing in London since May 2001. Again, time-to-market was the key driver for the Børsen, which is now delivered to readers at breakfast instead of late on day A or even day B.

Børsen launched its digital newspaper in London with a film premier for 400 top Danish business people. Photographs taken on the evening were sent back to the editorial team in Copenhagen and the guests were presented with copies of the newspaper after watching the film-less than two hours later. Now, a few years down the road, the success of the digital copy and reader acceptance has substantially increased the Børsen's circulation in London.
Leif Beck Fallesen, editor-in-chief, Dagbladet Børsen says, 'I think we could easily double our circulation outside of Denmark. Easily! And that's only because of the digital technical technology that is now available. Perhaps the main reason we chose Océ was that it was a company able to provide the technology we needed on a viable basis. We can expect to expand this immediately when other production facilities become available.'

Abigail Kirby-Harris, director of the Danish-UK Chamber of Commerce, also says the concept has been working well. 'The Anglo-Danish business relationship is extremely important to both economies and goes back a long way. The fact that our members can now get copies of Børsen first thing in the morning is a vital boost to the business community. I applaud the foresight and technology developed by Océ that has allowed this to happen.'

Globe & Mail
The Globe & Mail was the first DNN transatlantic title and began live production at Stroma, London in July 2002. Printing digitally in London allows the newspaper to offer its London readers day-A morning delivery instead of being three days late, which was previously the case. Reader reaction has been fantastic and they are delighted with this new, much improved service.

A newly installed high-speed broadband connection into Stroma means that the Globe & Mail newspaper is available in the UK just seven hours after it's available in its home country Canada. It is believed to be the first time that a North American-based newspaper has been able to be published and distributed in the UK on the day of production. The connection allows entire newspaper files to be transmitted and downloaded in less than five minutes.

For the Globe & Mail this means that when the newspaper is put to bed in Canada at about 4 am UK time, the files are instantly transferred and printed at Stroma and delivered to the Canadian readers in London, before their counterparts in Canada even get up.

Glen Lue, the Toronto Regional Sales Manager for the Globe and Mail, says: 'It's essential to have the newspapers in the hands of the readers within a very short space of time after printing, and the Océ solution allows us to do this. A lot of people have been asking for the service, and we feel confident that we should be able to increase our readership by at least 300% by printing digitally at Stroma in London. This is the technology of the future.'

Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ)
Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) was the DNN´s pioneering publisher. The company started printing in London in May 2001. Prior to that it printed in Frankfurt and then transported the papers to London via lorry, a journey that lasted nine to 10 hours. The delivery delay means that the company lost early-morning readership, since newspapers were usually delivered mid-morning, if not later.

With the new system of printing the newspaper-remotely at a west London printing site-the time needed to get from publisher to reader has been cut from 16 to three hours. The copies of NZZ leave the printing site by 1 am and are available for people to read at breakfast time.

Rudolf Lisibach, production director for NZZ says, 'The key benefits are that our newspaper still looks and feels like a traditional litho-printed version, yet we've reduced the length of time between completing the plates and printing the newspaper, which means our newspaper is available early in the morning.'

NZZ has reported an increase of over 50% on their newsstand sales by having the copies on sale at 6 am on the morning of publication.

Sydney Morning Herald
Digital printing offered a complete new opportunity to this Fairfax title, The Sydney Morning Herald in London. Before the DNN digital service was available, this title had no representation in Europe. Today, it is available to its readers on the streets of London at the same time as in Sydney. Launched in London to coincide with the 2002 Commonwealth Games, the digital copies were dashed to Manchester, allowing athletes from the Australian team to catch up on home news, and indeed their own exploits, in their favourite newspaper.

The long-term benefit of printing digitally with Océ for the Sydney Morning Herald is that an entirely new market has been opened for the newspaper in the UK, which is a home or staging post for many thousands of Australians all the year round. Copies are available via subscription.

The Nikkei
Japan's largest business newspaper, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, or Nikkei for short, has also discovered the value of digital production with Océ Digital Newspaper Network, and now prints its Asia and Oceania edition with Sydney-based Security Mail, Océ DNN's digital print partner in Australia.

With a daily circulation of over three million, Nikkei is also Japan's number one on subscription sales. 'Faster time-to-market enables us to give better service to our international readers,' says Nikkei's president Shigeru Mitani. 'And it brings us more subscribers.'

The Nikkei is having to compete for its international audience with Japanese-speaking radio stations and the Internet. The Océ Digital Newspaper Network gives the publisher the opportunity to compete on speed¾and get the newspaper into readers' hands early on the day of publication. The venture has certainly paid off: since launching digital production in late 2004, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun has boosted its subscription sales to international readers.

The Olympic Games in Athens
Whether it was about the Olympics or international news or news from home: in Athens Océ printed copies of leading newspapers from all over the world, such as the New York Times, Financial Times and even the Chinese title Sing Tao. Daily, digitally and at record-breaking speed. Up to 6,000 papers of more than ten international titles were printed daily via the Océ Digital Newspaper Network (DNN) at the premises of Delta Singular Outsourcing Services, Athens. The main importer of international press into Greece, Hellenic Distribution Agency, ensured that the papers were available at all important distribution points including direct delivery into Athens, the Olympic Village, the International Broadcasting Centre and the International Media Centre.

Due to the high safety precautions around the Olympic Games, restricted import and tight delivery windows the only way for publishers to get the latest daily trusted home news to Athens on time for breakfast every morning was via Océ DNN.
