Océ UVgel technology featured in the Océ Colorado 1640 has been judged safe for indoor use by multiple independent certification schemes.
Océ is proud to announce that the excellent safety performance of the new Océ UVgel technology has now been proven by seven environmental tests. The Océ UVgel technology is featured in the recently launched Océ Colorado 1640, currently being rolled out to the market across Australia and New Zealand. The Océ Colorado 1640, a high-end, high-productivity printer, is designed to excel at a wide range of applications in many different environments.
Broad range of certifications to ensure high safety standards
The Océ Colorado 1640, UVgel and its applications now meet the criteria for seven major indoor certifications that test for harmful compounds, emissions and odours in large-format products such as wall coverings. Together, these certifications make up some of the most stringent criteria and safety considerations for chemical emissions.
“This places the Océ UVgel technology and the Océ Colorado 1640 in an elite group of companies whose products can safely be used in sensitive environments such as hospitals and schools. The prints are also judged odourless, which is essential for environments such as restaurants and supermarkets. Colorado customers can supply prints with absolute confidence into such environments. It’s another tick in the box for compliance in critical applications” said Garry Muratore, Océ’s Product Manager for Graphic Arts Markets
