OKI Data Debuts Five-color Digital Printer

OKI Data Americas announces availability of its latest device in the line of professional digital printing solutions developed for short-run, on-demand commercial applications. The new C942 is an innovative five-color A3/tabloid device with single pass CMYK+White printing, expansive media handling capabilities and impressive output speed. This device allows users to expand beyond regular full-color printing on white paper to bold color-on-color printing on transparent or colored media.

Designed for businesses looking to expand their production capabilities, the C942 provides solutions including white printing on an array of substrates. This device uses micro-fine toner offering heightened color density and saturation, and features OKI’s proprietary Single Pass Color printing technology for enhanced speed and accuracy.

Highlights of the C942 include:

• CMYK+White printing in a single pass
• Easily prints vibrant, full color on dark, colored and transparent media
• Speeds of up to 50 ppm monochrome/color for CMYK jobs, and up to 45 ppm for output including CMYK+White
• 1200-dpi LED printheads
• Handles an impressive range of media including polyester, heavyweight cardstock up to 360 gsm, plus banners up to 52 inches in length
• New white toner with increased density
• Standard duplexing capabilities
• Small footprint A3 production quality device

The C942 provides an opportunity to generate new revenue streams by bringing improved production capabilities in-house. The C942 can produce output including polyester door hangers, retail signage, greeting cards and invitations, as well as envelopes. Ideal for companies in the pay-for-print space, the C942 affordably delivers exceptional versatility and productivity.
