MELVILLE, N.Y., Oct. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon
U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital
imaging solutions, today announced the launch of the new Océ
PlotWave 550 large format monochrome printing system, the newest
offering in the company's wide format portfolio set to further
enhance the AEC, manufacturing, CAD, and print service provider
arenas. This latest addition to Canon's wide format arsenal was
developed to meet the needs of larger workgroups and copy shops
looking to efficiently handle bigger sets of technical documents
during routine and peak periods. Canon's newest wide format device
is positioned to provide flexible technical document management for
industry professionals and includes security features.
"Security features are paramount for technical document users
working with sensitive printed or scanned information," said
Toyotsugu Kuwamura, executive vice president and general manager,
Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "Canon is at the forefront of
this industry movement reshaping the large format landscape, and
looks forward to continuing to provide users with reliable and
productive solutions that provide users with helpful security
features."
Protecting the printing environment*
As part of the
PlotWave 550 system's security offerings, printer and scanner
access can be controlled with the optional Access Management
License, which requires user authentication via logon or via
supported Smart Card readers. Protect the confidentiality of
print and scan data in the PlotWave 550 controller's hard disk with
the Disk Encryption License and TPM (Trusted Platform Module),
based on Microsoft Windows® BitLocker Drive Encryption
Technology. Both the TPM and the BitLocker functionality used
for data encryption are FIPS 140-2 level 1 validated.
Additional security options include a Removable Hard Drive Kit
which gives users the ability to remove and lock away the system's
hard drive.
Like the previously released Océ PlotWave 450 system, the new
large format printing system is made with busy professionals in
mind. The Océ ClearConnect touch screen works like a tablet to
flatten the learning curve. A powerful lineup of features makes it
easy to handle complex documents. Users can create, print and
manage sets of documents in an intuitive way with the optional Océ
Publisher Select 2 Windows-based job submission software. The What
You See is What You Print preview features allows users to view
work on their monitor so they have the ability to highlight
potential errors before printing and makes it easy to change the
settings to help users create the right results.
Keeping in line with Canon's commitment to expanding the
possibilities with large format printing, the entire Océ PlotWave
family, which now includes the Océ PlotWave 550 system, is
engineered to make technical documents look amazing. The recent Océ
PlotWave systems feature the next evolution in print quality users
have come to expect from Océ to help provide outstanding black and
white prints with sharp details, accurate curves, smooth grayscales
and readable texts. Waterfast print technology is designed to stand
up to intensive use on and off-site. In addition, Océ Image Logic®
makes it easy to get superb copying and scanning results by
compensating for wrinkles and paper folds on the originals and by
reinforcing colors.
Performance is Key
Thanks to Océ Radiant Fusing technology, the Océ PlotWave 550
printing system can help save costly labor-hours and energy costs
by going from sleep mode to first print out in 30 seconds on
average**. Users can save more time and can standardize their
workflow with the included Scan Templates, which is built-in
software to allow scan settings to be saved and named in one
template. The Océ PlotWave 550 prints at a max of 10 D-size
A1 per minute on up to four media rolls.
Availability
The new Océ PlotWave 550 System is now available and will be sold
through Canon Solutions America, Inc. and its authorized dealers.
