Even before its official launch, the Oc'e ColorWave 600 had received the iF Product Design Award 2008.
The International Forum Design institute is a renowned independent organisation with its roots in the Hannover exhibition centre. The iF Product Design Awards recognise products that represent innovation and high-quality design standards.
The recognition of the ColorWave 600 product design with this award is an acknowledgement of Oc'e's continued ambition to excel in the areas of functional and innovative design.
In October last year, the Oc'e ColorWave 600 received a Good Design Award in Japan. This is Japan's only comprehensive design evaluation and commendation system. This system itself has its origins in the “Good Design Selection System” (generally known as the G-Mark System). The design award is renowned in Asia and supports companies dedicated to design and state-of-the-art production.
The Oc'e ColorWave 600 also received an Editor's Choice Award in the UK. Business Info is a UK-based business equipment magazine and Web site for small and medium businesses to help directors and managers make informed purchasing decisions.
At the recent Graph Expo conference in Chicago, the Oc'e ColorWave 600 received a Must See 'Em Award. The Must See 'Em recognition programme, part of the Executive Outlook Conference, highlights the most unique, innovative and compelling products and services at Graph Expo. The Must See 'Em Awards, sponsored by PrintCom Consulting Group, are presented to products and technologies that exemplify compelling innovation in the graphic communications industry.
