Print Solutions

Canon has announced the next evolution in its Radiant Fusing technology line up with the Océ PlotWave 500, a single footprint, monochrome wide format printer with integrated colour scanner designed for the mid volume technical document market.

The new device bridges the gap between the low volume PlotWave 340 and 360 Series and PlotWave 750 production systems. It is ideal for those in the CAD sector (such as AEC, government/utilities, manufacturing and commercial reprographers) with print volumes between 7000 and 25,000 m2 per year.

The PlotWave 500 achieves resolution quality of 600 x 1200 dpi at a speed of 10 A1 pages per minute and features the same ClearConnect touchscreen user panel as other models in the range – akin to tablet technology. The new system also has an improved processing unit, the latest generation of print heads and a capacity of up to four media rolls, allowing for as much as 730 m2 of uninterrupted printing.
