New Océ CS9160 Eco-solvent printer for indoor or outdoor graphics

Venlo, The Netherlands, March 2008 - The new Océ CS9160 is a versatile, high quality printer that
uses Eco-solvent inks to create indoor and outdoor-durable prints. The Océ CS9160 is targeted at
commercial printers that intend to start offering high quality indoor and outdoor printing, companies
already active in this market, and to corporate customers for in-house print production.

High quality indoor and
outdoor printing system

Building on the success of its predecessor
the Océ CS9060, the Océ CS9160 offers
proven reliability, superior print quality
and increased productivity.

Commercial printers that want to start
offering indoor- and outdoor-durable
prints and corporate customers need a high

quality, environmentally safe and easy-to­use system that offers indoor and outdoor
versatility.

The Océ CS9160 combines value with
ease-of-use. The Océ CS9160 is ideal for
short run print jobs and is designed for
light production environments where high
quality output and outdoor durability are
required. Sample applications include
point-of-purchase displays, vehicle
graphics, transit advertising, exhibit
graphics, banners, museum graphics,
wayfinding and window displays.

Advanced print technologies

The Océ CS9160 offers superior ink
economy and print quality through the
use of Océ CS9000 VariaDotTM imaging
technology and WAVE Stitching print
modes.

Océ CS9000 VariaDot imaging
technology

Océ CS9000 VariaDot imaging
technology produces dots with variable
drop sizes to deliver finer details, smoother
gradients and sharper images. The
use of Océ CS9000 VariaDot imaging
technology results in significantly lower
ink usage of the Océ CS9160 when
compared to the ink usage of six color
printers using fixed dot inkjet technology;
25 to 35 percent less ink is used.

WAVE Stitching

WAVE Stitching was first introduced in
the Océ CS9000 Series; it prints in “waves”
instead of straight bands resulting in
higher print quality, improved productivity
and increased media versatility. In the Océ
CS9160, WAVE Stitching is available in
all print modes. With WAVE Stitching,

the Océ CS9160 can produce prints with
consistent quality in Production print
modes, even when more demanding
media are used. The level of banding in
Production print modes is greatly reduced
to less than that of many solvent printers in
High Quality mode.

Expanded ink capacity

The Océ CS9160 offers expanded ink
capacity with its ability to use 440 ml
cartridges. With 440 ml of ink always
on-line, productivity is increased because
ink change-outs are decreased by half over
printers using standard 220 ml cartridges.

Improved print speeds

The Océ CS9160 offers improved print
speeds over its predecessor, the Océ
CS9060, without sacrificing quality. Print
speeds of up to 18.3 square meters (197
square feet) per hour at 720 x 720 dpi are
achievable.

Environmentally safe Eco­solvent system

Eco-solvent inks offer customers the
outdoor benefits of solvent inks, while
making use possible in a regular office
or small print shop environment. There
are no hidden costs for an optional air
purification or ventilation system.

Coated and uncoated media can be used
for indoor and short- to mid-term outdoor
applications. The Eco-solvent inks used
in the Océ CS9160 offer an outdoor
durability of up to three years, without
lamination.

Océ provides a complete assortment of
roll-based media including self-adhesive
vinyl, banner and textiles, as well as various
indoor and outdoor paper and a range of
specialty products.

Information on media compatibility for the
Océ CS9160 is presented in the
Océ Media Guide available at

ww w.mediaguide.oce.com.

ICC profiles for the complete Océ CS9160
media assortment are provided with the
optional ONYX® Graphics Workflow
Software Océ Edition, and can be
downloaded from ww w.oce.com.

Easy-to-use and reliable

The Océ CS9160 offers outdoor printing
with the ease of use of an aqueous indoor
printer. The operator maintenance of the
printer is limited to only five minutes per
week.

For complete peace-of-mind, Océ offers
several Service Contract options for the
Océ CS9160. Contracts can be tuned
to an individual customer needs. Océ
