Three international awards have been conferred on the Oc'e TCS400 integrated large-format colour print, copy and scan system.
The TCS400 was credited by Cadalyst magazine as one of the 15 hottest new products introduced to the marketplace throughout the latter half of 2003. The TCS400 was the only non-software product to receive recognition. In its review of the product, Cadalyst said: "We were particularly impressed by the high-volume colour capabilities and the efficient batch print management functionality provided by the Oc'e Power Logic controller."
In addition, the TCS400`s scanner was awarded five stars by Cadalyst Labs for ease-of-use. This is the only scanner to receive an A+ in this category. The report cited the scanner`s LCD panel as excellent, relatively sizeable and easy-to-read. It also highlighted that the scanner features make the tool fast and easy to operate, potentially saving significantly on time and maximising operator productivity.
The TCS400 also received a bronze industrial design excellence award co-sponsored by the Industrial Design Society of America and Business Week magazine. IDSA said: "Unlike other similar printers, the Oc'e TCS400 uses one side to load paper and the other side for print output. The printer is designed to last 10 years with on-site upgradeability. Excellent brand communication; form resolution is elegant and simple; and controls on top of the unit allow easy access. Production costs are lowered by using the frame as a cover."
