Océ to showcase breakthrough map printing technology at AGI GeoCommunity 2011
Brentwood, Essex, 1 September 2011–At the AGI GeoCommunity Conference 2011 (20-22 September), Océ will be demonstrating how ultra fast printing from GIS data can add value and improve productivity in a modern GeoDigital working environment.
Delegates from the company’s Wide Format Printing Systems business unit will be providing expertise for the event – the largest independent UK GIS conference of the year – that involves full days of thought leadership, practical education, knowledge transfer and real world best practice.
Océ will have a stand in the exhibition hall outlining the synergies between GeoDigital workflows and cutting-edge printing technology, and demonstrating the best ways, to print technical, GeoSpatial and cartographical data in today’s digital world.
Richard Turner, Océ UK’s Wide Format Printing Systems Marketing Manager, said: “The printed map remains a valuable tool for professionals in all sectors. This might seem slightly surprising given the pace of digitisation, and the ease with which maps have become integrated into the digital dashboards of everyday applications, but in some situations you simply cannot beat an accurate, easy to read and resilient printed map.
“We want to show people that many of the historical barriers in printing have been removed. Short run and print on demand maps are now available in a fraction of the time people expect and at a quality they would believe only possible through a traditional lithographic process. We will be showcasing breakthrough map printing technology. Come and witness for yourself, seeing is believing.”
The AGI GeoCommunity series has a proven reputation as a 'must-attend' event for a range of service delivery managers and information management and technology professionals. Previous delegates and speakers have been drawn from Central and Local Government, Utilities, Health, Emergency Services, Infrastructure, Insurance, Marketing, Business Intelligence, Finance and Technology sectors.
