Oki Printing Solutions strengthens its position in SMB market

The C5000 series, comprising of C5650, C5750, C5850 and C5950 models, offers maximum functionality and versatile A4 colour and mono printing for demanding workgroup environments, whilst the C3450 provides high productivity business with professional looking, affordable colour business printing.

The C5650 and C5750 models are designed for businesses that print in mono, but which have an occasional need for colour printing, whereas the C5850 and C5950 models are for businesses with a wide range of colour and mono printing requirements. The series is able to handle paper weight of up to 203 gsm and can print banners of up to 1.2 meters long, extending the possibilities of in-house printing and reducing the need for expensive outsourcing. All models in the series can be further enhanced to provide users with optional duplex and other accessories to manage and monitor colour printing more effectively.

"The new C5000 Series refreshes our range of A4 colour printers to offer busy workgroups with either a high demand for mono printing and an occasional need of colour printing, or a need for both mono and colour printing with a class-leading, flexible A4 solution. The high capacity toner means that running costs are low and user intervention is minimised,"

said John Ross, General Manager, OKI Printing Solutions, Middle East.

Specifically designed with the user's needs in mind, all modes in the C5000 series offer unrivalled user security and control, with software such as Print Control which allows business to monitor and track colour page usage and PrintSupervision that allows the effective management of printers including consumables usage via remote monitoring of networked printers. The printers can perform colour management functions automatically, such as Auto Colour Balance which ensures consistent results without any user intervention.

The C3450 has enhanced productivity with 2500 page toner available, resulting in lower user intervention for individuals or workgroups. The C3450n is equipped with microfine High Definition Toner and ProQ2400 Multi-level technology which enable the printer to provide a better level of detail, greater depth of colour and a high-gloss feel. To ensure the C3450n meets all business colour printing needs, it is able to print anything from business cards and CD labels, to 1.2m banners with the aid of in-the-box utilities such as Template Manager.

Benefiting from OKI Printing Solutions' unique LED digital printhead technology, the C3450n offers businesses increased reliability, with less paper jams and a smoother paper flow. The high duty cycle of up to 35,000 pages per month meets the needs of demanding businesses and the easy to install high yield consumables save users time, requiring less user intervention overall.

"The refreshed C3450n offers busy business environments unparalleled colour printing performance, with a range of in-the-box utilities such as Template Manager to ensure users make the most of its capabilities. Its high duty cycle and easy to change high yield consumables make the C3450n an attractive and low maintenance option for workgroups of up to five people." said John Ross, General Manager, OKI Printing Solutions, Middle East.

Both the C3450 and the C5000 series offer users unparalleled performance with print speed. The C5000 series is more efficient than equivalent competitor models providing class-leading print speed up to 32 pages ppm for mono and up to 26 ppm for colour. C3450 offers print speed up to 20 ppm- double that of some competitor models.
