Major Spanish newspapers printed on new Océ color technology

Imcodávila publishing house selects Océ JetStream inkjet color system
Océ, an international leader in digital document management and delivery, today announced it has strengthened its prime position in the emerging short-run digital newspaper print market by signing an agreement with Imcodávila, one of the leading Spanish publishers.

Six thousand color newspapers to be printed digitally every day at Imcodávila
Imcodávila, located 100 kilometers outside Madrid, will be the world's first short-run production site for domestic titles in color with average daily print runs of 6,000 80-page color newspapers. Up to 40 separate titles - a mixture of dailies, weeklies and monthlies - will be produced on an Océ JetStream 2200 inkjet color web press.

Océ JetStream prints at 150 meters per minute
Never in the history of newspapers have so many titles been printed digitally in one location. The site has the capacity to produce up to 10 times as many newspapers as any other Océ Digital Newspaper Network production site in the world. Imcodávila produces titles like La Vanguárdia, Diario de Ávila, Público, 20 minutos and Diario de Salamanca, with national and local distribution. The new Océ JetStream 2200, with a print speed of 150 meters/min or 2020 A4 pages per minute, is expected to be installed within a month. The first newspapers are due to roll off the presses in May.

'Océ helps us provide customers with quality publications in full color'
'The installation of an Océ JetStream printing system will help us to provide our customers with a wide range of quality publications in full color,' enthused Luciano Monedero, Imcodávila's Manager. 'This decision is fully in line with Imcodávila's commitment to innovation in the editorial business.'
