Canon has launched the new Océ LabelStream 4000 series, an industrial-scale UV inkjet press with optional flexo printing, embellishment and finishing units. With a productivity range of 950 - 1672 sqm/h the press looks set to carve out a commanding presence in the label printing market.
The latest addition to the production printing portfolio underlines the Canon and Océ strategy to invest in growing industrial printing segments. Combining the virtues of UV inkjet printing with conventional technologies, this innovative label press delivers unrivalled value-add in terms of time, cost and value, enabling converters to select the best combination for any production requirement.
Christian Unterberger, Chief Marketing Officer & Executive Vice President Production Printing Products (PPP) said, “the Océ LabelStream is based on the inkjet DNA of Canon and Océ. With this comprehensive solution package optimised to benefit from current market dynamics, label converters can boost their profitability for short and medium job sizes, and amaze customers with labels of exceptional quality and customised messaging.”
Crit Driessen, Vice President & Head of Digital Packaging PPP added, “Océ is keen to break into forward-looking markets, and industrial packaging printing offers excellent opportunities for new revenue streams.
