9230
Black and color-capable digital printing system
As the industry and customer requirements change, your business needs the agility to adapt to change.
The Océ VarioStream
Designed to provide offset-class quality,
production-class performance, and a lower
cost of ownership, the Océ VarioStream
9230 system combines 3/3 color (black plus
two colors, double-sided) with breathtaking
production speed. And while it is one of the
fastest systems on the market for delivering
color on demand, the Océ VarioStream 9230
system still maintains full functionality for
black & white printing.
Equipped with the Océ Quick Change Color
System™, the versatile Océ VarioStream
9230 single-pass, duplex continuous feed
printer simultaneously prints 1/1, 2/2, and 3/3
Océ Multi-CustomTone color.
Unique investment protection
The Océ VarioStream 9230 system builds on
the momentum of the 2/2 Océ VarioStream
9220, making a migration path to the next
level of performance smooth and easy.
Delivering genuine investment protection for
your business, the Océ VarioStream 9230
system features Type I connectivity and
compatibility with Océ PRISMA
®
9230 continuous feed system is designed to help you respond to these requirements.
management software to integrate fully into
existing environments.
Productivity from start to finish
Built to deliver maximum productivity, the
Océ VarioStream 9230 system is a productive,
all-in-one machine that supports high-speed
duplex printing with 1/1, 2/2, or 3/3 color
on demand. You can print multiple shades
of black and any two Océ CustomTone®
colors on both sides of a page, applying
different colors on each side. A unique
color blending process lets you create the
impression of more color beyond the basic 3/3
colors. Automatic paper feeding minimizes
handling and operator intervention, while
Auto Data Resolution enables you to process
varying resolutions (240/300/600 dpi) in
different sections of a page for a new level of
production-class performance.
sure it matches. If the toner in the bottle
does not match or cannot be identified, it
cannot be loaded. This prevents operators
from printing jobs with the wrong color or
MICR jobs with non-MICR toner and helps
prevent damage to the developer stations.
High quality and flexibility
When it comes to high-speed printing of
color on demand, flexibility is designed in.
Simultaneous non-contact imaging of front
and back pages and infrared, non-contact
fusing in a single pass combine to deliver
exceptional registration accuracy and the
highest possible quality. In addition, the
Océ VarioStream 9230 system supports
paper weights from 10 lb. bond to 132 lb.
index, oversized paper, and print widths from
6.5" to 19". As a result, you can take on more
jobs and enter new markets. Just a few of the
benefits of color on demand.
Océ TonerSafe technology
With Océ TonerSafe™ technology, changing
toner bottles is not only quick and easy, it’s
also secure. Whenever an operator inserts a
