Raising the Bar on Ink Jet Capabilities
High-speed Inkjet Color with Integrated MICR

At Graph Expo, Océ North America is rolling out new MICR ink jet technology, proving that conventional wisdom can be wrong. Océ has long been a leader in delivering MICR solutions on both continuous feed and cut-sheet products. In response to market demand, Océ has integrated MICR capabilities directly into the Océ JetStream platform. Having  the new print heads integrated into the printer, rather than bolted on as an afterthought or standalone system, provides the utmost in flexibility and versatility. This is accomplished by adding a fifth head that uses a new, proprietary MICR ink. This enables customers combine print checks and full-color documents in the same job with complete reliability, security and error recovery. The fifth head uses the same Océ DigiDot drop-on-demand ink delivery technology as the other ink jet heads, ensuring consistent state-of-the-art MICR ink formulation without affecting the rest of the printing process.

MICR: the Essential Ingredient of Transactional Print
MICR output is essential in production environments that print insurance, financial, marketing offers, and other applications involving checks. For direct mailers, commercial print providers and service bureaus, the ability to print clearly legible MICR and professional full color output in one pass on one system creates an unmatched competitive and productivity advantage. In addition, the system's color capabilities have been expanded with built-in ICC color management resources, and comply fully with the AFP Color Management Architecture to support a wider range of applications than ever before. This new MICR capability, combined with Océ multi-level printing for output versatility, gives customers more choices for leveraging their investment.

“The Océ JetStream platform is being enthusiastically adopted by customers around the world who are creating amazing campaigns and other applications using full color and variable content," says Guy Broadhurst, Vice President of New Technology and Client Development, Production Printing Systems, Océ North America. "These new enhancements make the Océ JetStream platform a powerful combination of multi-level printing, speed, quality, ink, MICR, and media options unmatched in today's high-speed ink jet market. It opens a world of possibilities that goes well beyond trans-promo and direct mail into graphic arts.”

In addition, like all Océ products, the Océ JetStream family fully complies with the provisions of the RoHS directive, which  restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in new electrical and electronic equipment. The Océ JetStream system is the first product in its class to be RoHS compliant, further demonstrating continued Océ leadership in environmental sustainability.
