OKI is widely known for its productive and innovative machines, but this time it surpassed itself. The company launched a new C900 series of color LED printers C911dn, C931dn, C941dn with revolutionary capabilities.

C941dn — a flagship A3 model — is made for office applications. Its unique feature—printing with the use of 5 colors of toner: CMYK plus white or clear—greatly enhances creative capabilities and image quality of the output. It can print on a broadest types of media from 360 g/m extra-thick card stock to 14 mil polyester and magnetic media and it can handle different sizes of media from 3×5-inch index cards to 13×52-inch banners.

The use of clear toner allows to produce unusual visual effects. When spot clear toner is put over CMYK, a brilliant effect is achieved. With the white toner it’s easy to print on dark-colored media with an excellent result. The model has improved abilities of printing on gloss and matte media. Fiery® XF RIP server (optional) helps to improve image management.

In spite of the fact that laser printers have become affordable over the years, they won’t force out matrix printers from the market. Jet printers – another popular family of printers – won’t make it either. The reason lies in the printing technology: while laser and jet printers are so-called nonimpact printers (they don’t interfere with paper), the pins of matrix printers strike ink directly in the paper. To leave prints of letters on the paper is the function of impact printers, and it is necessary or desirable in many areas (for example, while preparing the documents or missives). One more reason of success of matrix printers hides undoubtedly in lower cost of consumables. Flexibility of matrix printers is also important. Quite often one device combines availability to print on the rolled paper and single sheets, in black-and-white or color mode – and only few preparatory operations are needed. Moreover, the matrix printing technology has stood the test of time, and such printouts could be of rather high quality. That’s why this market is still full of offers. Meet the short reviews of the popular dot matrix printers of the famous brands. (more…)

Due to heavy competition in SOHO segment, every brand adds original features that could be the reason to buy the device. Last year OKI had launched a line of color LED printers C321, C331, C511, C531 – the commercial versions of the same printing mechanism – and their price still stays low and attractive.

Oki C331dn is a new model to replace the previous C330/C310, in which an essential flaw has been eliminated. The problem lays within the cartridge capacity. These printers use 4-in-1 cartridges, and in the office printing usually exceeds color printing by 30%, so the color cartridges were not finished up. In C331dn yellow, cyan and magenta cartridges are not used in the process of black/white printing, and the capacity of the black cartridge was enlarged to 30,000 pages, while this number in the color cartridges is 20,000.

The advantages of this printer are the greater printing speed, excellent speed of photo printing and good quality of the output.

Other Oki C331dn fine features are:

• Intelligible menu options
• Plain control panel
• Integrated duplex
• Low-slung design, what could be an advantage at a small office
• Durable and solid exterior construction
• Together with the main tray, which holds 250 sheets, and a multipurpose tray for 100 sheets (it can be used for different types of paper stock, including envelopes, index cards, banners and labels), there is an optional 530-page tray, what considerably enlarges the page capacity of the printer
• 5-year warranty for the LED printing module and 3-year warranty for the rest of the printer

OKI Data Corporation, which markets its products under the OKI Printing Solutions brand, today announced it has received “Information Processing Technology Heritage” certification from the Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ) for its 2400B-type line printer. This follows on from “OKITYPER®-2000” receiving an “Information Processing Technology Heritage” certification last year.

The Information Processing Technology Heritage program is hosted by IPSJ to certify historical products and achievements that have formed the foundation of Japan’s information processing technology together with information processing technologies and systems that have made a significant contribution to Japan’s economy and society. Through the certification program, IPSJ aims to make valuable heritage technology widely known, to put it to use as research and education material and to preserve the heritage of information processing technology in Japan. The certification program started last year.

“We are delighted that our 2400B-type line printer has received Information Processing Technology Heritage certification for the second consecutive year,” said Hitoshi Sekine, Managing Director and Chief Technology Officer at OKI Data Corporation. “The product forms the basis of our current product lines. Based on our long experience and extensive achievements, we will continue to design and provide products that contribute to the development of the information society.”

The 2400B-type line printer was developed in 1966 and has been widely used as a data transfer terminal and an output device for minicomputers by computer manufacturers and financial institutions across Japan. It was designed to ensure that characters would be visible immediately after they were printed and that printed sheets could be cut off after a few lines, enhancing usability and contributing greatly to office automation. Efforts have been made over time to make this system smaller, lighter, lower cost, and easier to operate – a valuable example of OKI’s commitment to Monozukuri (the Japanese approach to manufacturing).
