Océ Copy Press system: the better alternative
At the heart of every Océ-developed copier and printer is the proprietary Océ Copy Press system, the only real alternative to xerography.We developed Copy Press because we were dissatisfied with xerography’s performance and thought we could do better. We were right. Today, the Océ Copy Press system is the basis for all our new developments, including the Colour Copy Press machines.
Buyer’s Lab says ‘‘amazing’’ and ‘‘unmatched’’
The Océ Copy Press system is so revolutionary that when Buyer’s Lab tested our copiers, they called them ‘‘amazing’’ and ‘‘unmatched in the industry". The six unique components of the Océ Copy Press system produce copies and prints that always get rave reviews.
1. Masterbelt ensures sharp and accurate images
The super-sensitive Océ masterbelt produces a very sharp and accurate latent image. And a clear latent image generates clear impressions. Copy after pristine copy.
2. Monocomponent developing means less toner contamination
The Océ Copy Press system’s self-developing
toner brings several advantages:
- Less mess in your machine
- No toner residue on your documents, for
cleaner copies and prints
- Low temperature fusing so you can print on
heat-sensitive materials, like transparencies. Low temperatures also mean less energy consumption
- No developer to dispose of so your document
production is more environmentally considerate
3. TTF gives near-offset quality reproduction
The Toner Transfer Fusing technology, found only in the Océ Copy Press system, actually ‘‘presses’’ toner into the paper, cleanly and neatly, just like offset printing.
In contrast, xerographic technology uses a powerful electrostatic charge to make toner ‘‘jump’’ from the photoconductor to the paper. This can cause toner contamination on the paper and the machine.
Furthermore, Océ’s dual-belt toner-transfer system means the paper never touches the masterbelt, so there’s no risk of damage to the photoconductor.
4. Short paper path makes jams practically impossible
The triumph of the Océ Copy Press system begins with the paper path—one of the shortest on the market. With conventional xerographic technology, the paper must make a long and tortuous journey into the machine to receive the image.
Océ Copy Press, on the other hand, transports the image to the paper. So the paper has hardly any time to get tangled in the machine. And paper jams rarely occur even with heavy stock.
5. Single corona unit means less ozone contamination
The pin-array corona unit produces a consistently high-quality image. It’s also environmentally considerate, generating ozone emissions far below competitive systems and the threshold limit value. The single charge also reduces static electricity to practically nothing, thus eliminating another cause of paper jams.
Xerography, on the other hand, uses several electrical charges at different places to make a copy. The resulting heat and static electricity increase the likelihood of paper jams.
6. One-pass duplexing increases reliability
Most Océ Copy Press copiers and printers also provide Océ one-pass duplexing, making double-sided imaging as easy and reliable as single-sided. By eliminating the auxiliary duplexing tray common to other machines, this feature also eliminates static build-up, a common cause of paper jams. In the unlikely event of a jam, job recovery is also easier than in machines with an auxiliary tray.
