OKI Launch A3 Colour Printer Series
16/01/2008
Following the successful C8600 Series launch in November 2006 Europe’s second largest manufacturer of colour printers today unveiled the C8800 compact A3 colour printer series.
The C8600 carved out a new category of affordable business color printers that are half the overall size and considerably less than the price of competitor products. Today OKI expands the range by introducing the C8800 which includes PCL/Postscript capability as standard. This feature is ideal for corporate environments as it provides improved compatibility and enhanced document security for protecting data sent across a network.
The C8800 has a low starting price of just €2,300 and like the C8600, provides superior digital LED printing at a price considerably lower than competitor A3 colour products, inkjet, or mono-only devices.
Providing an A3 printer that can quietly operate within easy reach of users will significantly benefit a number of professionals who regularly print spreadsheets, booklets, workplans and charts. For those undertaking more creative applications the C8800 can also print from A6 to A3 and up to 1.2m long banners. Additionally, professionals requiring a printer capable of supporting graphical design applications will also benefit owing to the Postscript capability supporting both Mac and PC platforms.
Like all new OKI Printing Solutions colour products, the C8800 is founded on High Definition Color*; the company's own unique collection of hardware and software technologies, which deliver unsurpassed colour print quality and ease of use.
Martin Deignan, Sales and Marketing Director Marketing for OKI in Ireland comments: "With the launch of the defining C8600, OKI was the first European printer manufacturer to make high performance, compact A3 colour printing affordable for businesses. "With the C8800 we are now going one step further. We have extended this award-winning technology to provide businesses with a choice of compact A3 printers to address their specific printing requirements," he said.
