Minuteman Press to Sell OKI Envelope Press to Franchises

MOUNT LAUREL, NJ—March 21, 2011—OKI Data Americas, which markets its products under the OKI Printing Solutions brand, announced a partnership with Minuteman Press International. Minuteman has selected to sell the pro900DP digital envelope press to its new and existing franchises worldwide to expand their service offerings with the ability to produce short-run color output with variable data capabilities.
