Monochrome Still Rules

Océ highlighted its VarioPrint 6250 cut sheet duplex printer. Using the new Océ Gemini Instant Duplex technology, the new machine images both sides of a sheet at the same time at 250 A4 or letter-size prints per minute. The new technology uses transfer belts to press toner into both sides of a sheet at the same time. This means the sheet is heated only once, reducing thermal stress on the sheet and lessening the tendency of pages to curl. Combined with a new Advance Active Registration technology, imaging both sides at once helps ensure that the pages retain tight front-to-back registration, an important factor in applications like book production.
