Océ Direct Imaging a revolutionary seven-colour technology

Océ Direct Imaging uses voltage and magnetism. No light is used to create an image. It is directly created on each imaging drum electronically, thereby providing highly accurate colour registration and image fidelity, unmatched by traditional processes.

• Advantages

Stable process 

  • Less sensitive for temperature and humidity changes

 
Colour consistency without any problems

  • No use of developer and corona’s

  • No manual calibration

Environmental-friendlier

  • No ozone emissions

  • Less waste material

 
How the technology works

  • The Direct Imaging drum contains 7,500 individual tracks, each one can be separately addressed.

  • Océ Direct Imaging uses a mono-component iron based toner.

  • The toner particles are placed on the Imaging drum and then removed by a strong magnet.

  • When a voltage is placed on one of the tracks, the force of the magnet is overruled and the toner is transported to the intermediate, a glass drum with a rubber coating. Using this method, the toner can accurately be addressed side by side on this intermediate.

  • The next step in the process is the Colour Copy Press technology
