Océ, manroland Forge Strategic Alliance

Océ Printing Systems and manroland AG have partnered to offer total digital printing solutions aimed at the graphic arts industry, including consulting, systems, services and materials provided by a single source. The companies will supply solutions that cover all of the manufacturing steps within the graphic arts industry by combining print data management and digital and offset printing as well as post processing.

Inkjet production systems are increasingly being used as a supplement to offset printing for small runs and just-in-time production with medium quality demands. Here they offer cost advantages and permit fast throughput times. Areas of application include books, advertising inserts, catalogs and brochures.
