outstanding quality with a low cost per
page, opening up new opportunities and
on-demand revenue streams for print
houses and other creative businesses.
Each printer in the Pro series is
designed to offer outstanding quality
colour print with money-saving features
such as high capacity consumables. The
Pro9541 offers the option of printing the
full range of process colours plus a fifth
spot colour in either white or clear gloss.
The Pro9542 digital LED A3 colour printer
delivers high density, white-under printing
in a single pass for stand-out results on a
wide range of materials including coloured
and transparent media.
The range includes the newly
launched Pro6410 Neon colour printer,
which offers high definition LED colour
printing with ground-breaking neon toner
technology that can be used to create
glowing fluorescent effects on dark or
light garments, eye-catching POS displays
or educational material. The neon white
toner can also be used to provide a white
background for transfer to dark substrates
or as a security mark that only shows up
under black UV light.
“We were very pleased at the success
of last year’s show and have no hesitation
in returning this year as we know that
many professionals will be interested in
the opportunities these new OKI printers
present,” said Marketing Manager Andrew
Hall. “Achieving high resolution full colour
plus white is an advantage to any print or
graphics business, as is the ability to print
on garments and other substrates. We
believe this will help print shops diversify
and increase their revenue while adding
their own value and creative touch.”
