OKI steps up the fight in competitive battle

OKI has continued its expansion into the wide-format technology sector with the launch of the Color Painter E-64s, seeing the multinational graphics arts firm bring a solution to the table that will contend with several recent releases from key competitors.

“The Color Painter E-64s is a remarkable printer offering print businesses affordable entry to very profitable, high-precision, wide-format printing on a large spectrum of media which may have previously been unattainable,” explains Frank Jänschke, general manager marketing, Wide Format Printers, OKI Europe. 

He continues: “As an advanced and extremely versatile printer, packed with functionality, it successfully meets all the requirements in a field where commercial opportunities are expanding, but must be seized quickly and effectively to maximise revenue.”

Using OKI’s high-pigment Eco-solvent SX ink, the Color Painter E-64s has been reportedly designed to “deliver the optimum level of colour for high-quality indoor and extra-durable outdoor applications at all print-speeds”.

Jänschke adds: “Its low costs of adoption and ability to handle a wide range of media make the E-64s the ideal choice for every user of large-format printers seeking an agile solution.” 

The new system also includes proven technologies from higher-end models such as automatic printer adjustments using optical colour sensors, Smart Pass 4, Smart Nozzle Mapping 3 and Dynamic Dot Printing, as well as H3-series features such as the Safe Scanning System.
