Océ DigiDot™ The Océ DigiDot drop-on-demand inkjet technology embraces the whole inkjet process including
the heads, its ring control, variable droplet size, multilevel droplet modulation and the inks.

Océ SRA
MP The Océ high-performance SRA MP (Scalable Raster Architecture Massively Parallel) controller
is responsible for native RIPping of IPDS (IS/3 compliant), PCL6 (includes PCL 5c, PCL XL and
bi-directional PJL) and PDF data using the Adobe PDF Print engine 2.5 and also performs color
management fully compliant to the rules of the AFP color consortium.
Inkjet head unit Each print tower or print engine contains one inkjet head unit. One inkjet head unit can
accommodate up to 6 inkjet heads for Monochrome, CMYK and two additional colors for MICR,
custom inks or special inks.
Inkjet head
Each inkjet head is used for printing one color onto the full paper width.
An inkjet head contains up to 5 inkjet modules for a maximum print width of up to 21,25 (540 mm).
Inkjet module The inkjet modules are based on the Kyocera KJ4B.
Width 108 mm (4.25“); 2,656 nozzles; 600 dpi, re
frequency 30 kHz or 40 kHz.
Ink supply system The ink supply system prepares the ink to be supplied to
the heads. It is integrated into the print tower, controls the
temperature (typically 32 °C) and lters out any pollution
particles. A de-gassing unit removes possible air in the inks.
The ink supply system also has an ink buffer to allow printing
while ink loading.
Ink lling system During transport, ink modules are lled with a special preserving uid. Before start of production
the modules are to be lled with the respective inks. This duty is done by Océ during the
installation or in the ColorStream 3000. No special external unit is needed.
Paper drying unit Heated saddles (80–130 °C) with air fans are used to

7 Ionizer and resolver for printing in speed ramps
Cooling roller The purpose of the cooler roller is to reduce the temperature of the paper after it was heated by
the dryer. The cooling also conditions the paper for an improved color consistency. Cooling is only
needed in a Twin conguration and integrated in the paper turning unit between tower 1 and tower 2.
First page printing* The Océ ColorStream 3000 has a unique feature for drop on demand inkjet printing. With the ability
to print in speed ramps, a paper waste free acceleration of the paper with quality print outs in the
speed ramps is possible.
Waste free print pause* By printing in the speed ramps the Océ ColorStream 3000 can be slowed down to a full stop of the
paper movement and back to production speed without paper waste. This enables to perform a
timely limited (1 minute) waste free print pause to visually inspect the printouts or perform other
tasks around the system. After the dened time, the system will continue printing fully automatically.
Long stop white paper
between stop and start
To prevent an impact on print quality, the pause is timely limited. A longer term stop will produce
paper waste as on all inkjet solutions. The amount of paper waste is around 20 (±3) meters for
an inline Twin conguration.

Printing on preprinted paper On the Océ ColorStream 3000 imprints on preprinted forms can be done by all towers. For that
purpose all Océ ColorStream towers have dedicated sensors for preprinted marks and Data
Integrity marks.

Simplex/Duplex efciency The Océ ColorStream 3000 offers the Océ Simplex/Duplex efciency of the Océ VarioStream
family. As a single unit, purely simplex productivity is available. Through the combination with
a second tower in an inline twin full duplex efciency can be generated. The combination in a
H- or L-Twin offers both, full simplex and duplex productivity in one conguration.
