Oki Printing Solutions offers 'A3 For Free'

The MC860 is ideally designed to meet the needs of work groups and SMBs. The small footprint, low price and configurability of the new MC860 make it the ideal A4/A3 solution for businesses with restricted floor space and budgets.

The MC860 is available in both desktop and floor-standing versions and provides colour and mono multi-function A4 and A3 output - at the price and the size of conventional A4 MFPs.

"Building on our strong heritage in the workgroup and the SMB markets," confirms John Ross, general manager, Middle East, India and North East Africa for Oki Printing Solutions. "The MC860 represents an important new entry-level segment in the fast-growing A3 colour MFP market - as an integrated, ultra-compact four-in-one device which will meet all their A4 and A3 document requirements."

By bringing together the best modern print solutions with the latest best practice print management techniques, the MC860 enables businesses minimise their dependence on outsourced print specialists and produce high quality marketing collateral in-house. "Gartner estimates that this can cut the average company's printing costs by 20%," confirms John Ross.
