MOUNT LAUREL, NJ—Oct. 17, 2012—OKI Data Americas announces its participation in the upcoming 2012 SGIA Expo, set to take place from Oct. 18-20, 2012, in Las Vegas.

The innovative pro920WT offers a compelling value proposition as a cost-effective alternative to screen printing with its speed, accuracy, size format and full color output. It will be demonstrated and available for sale within the Graphics One booth (121) along with the new 711WT desktop A4 digital color printer with white toner also from OKI Data Americas.

The OKI pro920WT operates at an impressive 31 ppm color/36 ppm mono , and employs High Definition Color printing technology with up to 1,200x600 dpi resolution to deliver clear, sharp text and graphics for transfer or transparent media. It is part of the impressive OKI proColor Series—a line of high impact digital color printers that serves the graphic arts, production, specialty printing and imaging technologies industries. The OKI proColor Series of commercial grade digital color printers delivers professional, production-quality color output and color accuracy powered by embedded EFI Fiery and PANTONE support on select models.

“OKI Data looks forward to the SGIA Expo and demonstrating the unique transfer printing capabilities of both the pro920WT and the new 711WT. These products underscore OKI Data’s commitment to printing innovation and helping optimize performance for those in the specialty printing arena,” said Rich Egert, general manager of the Strategic Technology Provider Business Group for OKI Data Americas. “We are confident that the 711WT will be as well received in this market segment as the pro920WT has been, as OKI Data expands its presence serving the specialty printing and imaging space.”
