Large Format Solutions Oce ColorWave 500 Repositioning Strategy a Tremendous Success
April 19 2016 - 9:10AM
Canon Solutions America, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon
U.S.A., Inc. recently took actions to make large format color
printing accessible to a much broader market segment by both
repositioning its award-winning Océ ColorWave 500® system and
expanding its supported media and application range. This action
enables firms that in the past may have considered printing large
format color documents to be too expensive or too specialized
access to a highly versatile print device that is within their
budgets. With sales results now in for the first quarter, the Large
Format Solutions division has seen a dramatic rise in
year-over-year results. "Considering that the Océ ColorWave 500
system was launched just a little over a year ago and was already
selling well, the results have exceeded even our own aggressive
projections," said Sal Sheikh, vice president of Marketing, Large
Format Solutions, Canon Solutions America. "I am proud to say this
is one of the hottest selling productive large format color
printers in the market today!" The Océ ColorWave 500 system is
ideal for workgroups looking for a cost-effective walk-up system as
well as for central operations needing higher productivity for
generating large format CAD, GIS, and color graphics applications.
Using eco-friendly Océ Crystal Point imaging technology facilitates
waterfast prints. In addition, the Océ ColorWave 500 system has a
wide range of media options including bond, film, waterfast Tyvek,
polypropylene, satin fabric, and wet strength paper to name a few,
so multiple departments such as the design and marketing teams can
fully utilize the device. The Océ ColorWave 500 is also useful in
decentralized corporate environments due to its compact size, very
low ozone emissions, and very low heat and noise output levels. "By
any measure, the repositioning has been extremely successful," said
Sheikh. "Enabling an entirely new segment of the market access to
this extremely competitive mid-volume device with both monochrome
and color large format print, scan, and copy capabilities, means
more customers than ever before will be able to take advantage of
the productivity of the Océ ColorWave 500 system and print more
technical documents in color."
