Océ recently announced that it has developed a new basic printing technology that combines toner with inkjet printing.
Following Hewlett-Packard’s announcement of a new latex ink technology in early 2008, the European printing equipment manufacturer provided the latest ink application method. According to the company, CrystalPoint technology uses the company's TonerPearls pearl toner as a gel that will crystallize on any type of paper, resulting in bright, water-resistant, high-quality images, and colors. The distribution of points is very precise.
