Oce, an international leader in digital document management, launched a new printing technology known as Oce CrystalPoint. This technology changes how wide format prints are made by combining the best of toner and inkjet printing. The Oce CrystalPoint process converts color Oce TonerPearls toner into gel which, is in turn, jetted and crystallized onto any type of paper. This process produces crisp, water fast high quality images with extremely accurate dot placement.

Oce has been developing this technology since the mid-1990s, investing Euro 150 million. They hope that this technology will address the dynamic digital printing markets in both the Wide Format Technical and Wide Format Graphics segments. This new Oce platform has been designed to address overall running costs, reduce environmental impact, and improve both productivity and workflow.

In addition to being a leader in wide format systems for the architectural, engineering and construction market, Oce CrystalPoint products and solutions hope to generate interest in the reprographics and business graphics markets. This new technology is also environmentally friendly with the TonerPearls used in the toner gel jetting, releasing no ozone, odor or fine powder. It also prints an even semi-gloss finish on uncoated paper that reduces the use of paper coating.
