OKI Data Americas (Booth 2233) is showcasing its wide-format, light production and textile transfer printing solutions at the 2017 SGIA Expo.
“SGIA is a wonderful opportunity for OKI to deepen relationships in the sign and graphics industry,” says Lou Stricklin, Director of Product Marketing, Industrial Business Unit at OKI.
OKI is displaying its full line of ColorPainter wide-format devices including the E-64s, launched late last year to provide lower-volume print environments with best-in-class color saturation and outdoor durability. SGIA attendees can also see output from the ColorPainter M- 64s, OKI’s flagship wide-format printer serving print shops with industrial-grade hardware and print quality at world-class speeds. The H3-104s will be printing banners, wall coverings and 104-inch-wide textiles. All OKI wide-format devices produce GREENGUARD Gold Certified output, having passed a rigorous certification process meeting health-based criteria for low chemical and particle emissions for use in sensitive environments like educational and medical facilities.
Delivering innovation in print-for-pay operations as well as the graphic arts, textile and stationery markets, OKI’s proColor Series features the C942dn CMYK + White printer and its ability to print impactful graphics on dark stocks by laying high-density white toner beneath color in a single pass. Additionally, OKI is the only low- to mid- range production system offering an EFI Fiery C9 RIP for both the 942 and 931 product lines, offering color management and variable data capabilities. For entrepreneurs aiming to expand into the evolving textile transfer market, OKI’s compact and easy-to-use Pro8432WT will be the focus of in-booth garment printing demonstrations, creating high-quality graphic transfer sheets for use on a variety of substrates.
