Automated printing for books and magazines

You’ll save money

The Océ VarioPrint i300 makes your print budget go further than before. Compared to other forms of high-quality colour printing for books and magazines, there’s a whole lot less person-power involved in producing your print because the entire process is automated. One operator loads the stock and presses the start button. Job done. Our overheads are lower, so your print quote is smaller.

You can print just as many as you need

The old-fashioned approach of printing the maximum print volume you might need nearly always results in obsolete print material, i.e. dead money. With the Océ VarioPrint i300 it’s easy and fast for us to set up a print run, so you can print only what you need, then order more as supplies run low. Reprints are charged as the same rate as the first run. your print quote is smaller.

Your print job happens faster

With the fully-automated Océ VarioPrint i300, we can print, fold and bind an 80-page catalogue in as little as 16 seconds. That's about five times faster than the usual way of doing things. When you know print can be turned around this quickly, you can respond rapidly to market demands or opportunities. You can also avoid print obsolescence.

Reasons to use our i300

THE QUALITY IS INCREDIBLE

The quality of printing produced on the Océ VarioPrint i300 is equal to or better than any other offset or digital press we use. The i300 features Océ-developed drop size modulation technology that precisely delivers up to 80 million drops per second. Each ink droplet can be one of four sizes, resulting in smoother colour gradations that are usually achieved only on higher-resolution presses.

YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT WILL BE SMALLER

If you needed to print 450 A4 booklets, total emissions with the i300 are around 60% lower than printing with a conventional A1 offset press and 11% lower than with a conventional digital press. This calculation considers printing paper, energy use, other materials, distribution and post-consumer EOL (end of life).

EVERY OUTPUT CAN BE PERSONALISED

Variable print for personalised outputs isnt fresh news, but super-accurate variable print thats quick to set up is. The Océ VarioPrint i300 takes personalisation to a higher level. You can personalise every page in a book or brochure, and the one file approach alleviates the risk of data errors during processing.

YOU CAN MIX YOUR MEDIA

The Océ VarioPrint i300 can print on a mix of gloss, coated and uncoated stock, because Colorgrip technology negates the extreme colour changes caused by varying ink absorption. This means your print jobs can include a variety of coated, uncoated and treated stocks all in the same output.

PERFORATIONS ARE PART OF THE PROCESS

Vertical and/or horizontal perforations can be created on any page. This feature is great for remittance stubs, coupons and tear-out pages

YOU CAN HAVE SQUARE-SPINE BINDING

The i300 is capable of revolutionary square-spine fold and stitch finishing that produces a square spine up to 10mm wide (up to 180 pages) plus a cover. Our prepress team have software that can add a text title to match the spine width. You get a perfect bound book without the high price that usually comes with perfect binding, plus a printed spine that makes the book easier to find on the shelf!
