Cooperation Changes the Future of Technical Document Printing

This new portfolio for the technical document market confirms the commitment of Oce and Canon to this industry.

Sal Sheikh, Vice President of Marketing for the Wide Format Printing Systems division of Oce North America says, "In today's economy more than ever, companies are looking for ways to maximize the productivity, flexibility and ease of use of their technical document workflows.  Time and cost wasters must be squeezed out of all processes.  Our new, expanded portfolio offers ways for companies using technical documents to get more out of their equipment investment."
