September 28, 2009 – Trumbull, CT – Océ, an international leader in digital document management and delivery, today announced that Fogra has certified the Océ CS665 Pro full-color digital printer with the CREO® Color Server and Océ Proofing Paper as a Validation Printing System. The digital color production solution fulfills the requirements of the latest, ISO-based FograCert certification, an internationally approved standard for sheet-fed and web offset printers. This verifies that the Océ CS665 Pro system and CREO Color Server print with predictable, consistent and measurable quality according to the highest standards.
Munich-based Fogra is a leading research center for the printing industry. Fogra certification demonstrates a printer's commitment to ISO standards, based on measurable criteria for proofing and printing in a production environment. Fogra certification recognizes that Océ CS color cut-sheet printers achieve predictable, measurable quality according to these exacting requirements. The Océ CS665 Pro system, a member of the Océ CS family, was the first product in its class to receive Fogra certification. With the addition of the CREO Color Server, the Océ CS665 Pro system has again received validation as the first Fogra-certified, color cut-sheet system using the CREO Color Server.
“Digital color has become part of almost every print environment, and Océ is committed to providing color solutions of the highest caliber," said Eric de Goeijen, Vice President Marketing, Océ North America Production Printing Systems division. “Achieving FograCert certification validates this, and helps bring color standards into the digital printing industry.
