HOW THE TECHNOLOGY WORKS

Océ iQuarius technologies is comprised of six innovations that facilitate carrying ink reliably, precisely and without developing waves or other sheet
deformations.

  • iQuarius Ink: a proprietary ink that minimizes sheet deformations such as waving. This ink enables premium quality and robust images on many
    different media.
  • iQuarius ColorGrip: optional inline conditioning function that delivers more flexibility in media choices.
  • iQuarius Sheet Entry Control: automatic detection and purging of sheets with a deformation before they enter the print module.
  • iQuarius Precise Sheet Control: precise positioning and flattening of sheets on a seamless metal belt by means of vacuum technology. The minimal
    print gap ensures maximum print quality.
  • iQuarius Drying System: controlled drying for flat output. Four technologies are used simultaneously to gently dry the sheets at moderate
    temperatures. While they’re drying, the sheets stick to the drum by means of vacuum technology that prevents waving.
  • iQuarius Inline Quality Control: real-time detection and correction of nozzle failures during printing.
