RGB UK given turbo-boost by OKI

The competitive battle of wide-format print technology supply has just got more intense as two highly respected brands have come together to expand their strategic market share.

In a joint statement, OKI Europe and RGB UK revealed they will become partners around the sale and distribution of the latter’s print systems, specifically spearheading the sales of its new Color Painter E-64s (see SignLink May for a full review of the device). The E64S has been installed at RGB UK’s reading demonstration studio.

“The new partnership between RGB UK and OKI will allow us to promote the unique and innovative product range for the large-format printing industry to its full potential,” says Chris Hope, marketing director at RGB UK, who adds: “After searching the market for a manufacturer that met our standards on performance and quality, we considered OKI the best fit.”

The partnership is a perfect fit for the OKI Europe Wide Format Division with RGB UK providing a wealth of expertise, experience, and innovation.”
