“Comprising vibrant four and five-colour technology and innovative printing processes, the new Pro Series from OKI offers print houses and creative firms the flexibility to take creative printing to a whole new level while also improving their own business performance,” says Guy Boxall, Senior Product Manager, OKI Europe.
The Pro Series printers from OKI Europe are primarily targeted at sectors producing creative designs as well as those with a volume print requirement, including print houses, advertising, design and other creative agencies.
