The new devices include a new A3 printer series and new monochrome digital machines.
The C381 series of A3 single-function printers, which includes the C831n and C831dn, is aimed at small workgroups and “offers a compact design” that “delivers enhanced functionality”, according to the OEM. The machines are based on the C830 tabloid/A3 machine range, with “increased print speeds, longer consumable life and improved maximum paper capacity”.
The printers also, according to OKI, feature a “low total cost of ownership”, as well having, it claims, the “smallest footprint available in the market today” for tabloid/A3 printers. The new design of the range offers easier access to the black toner cartridges, and a host of eco-settings including “deep sleep mode”, “auto power off” and a toner save function, as well as standard duplexing in the dn model.
Print speeds reach up to 35ppm for colour and monochrome letter-sized prints, and 20ppm for tabloid-sized documents, whilst paper capacity can reach 1,460 sheets, with an LCD display, alphanumeric keypad and secure printing features included as well.
Hiroyuki Fukushima, Director of Non-Impact Printer Product Marketing for OKI Data Americas, stated: “OKI Data Americas is pleased to announce the addition of its newest color tabloid/A3 single function printers to our broad printing portfolio. We believe that the C831 Series is a great addition to any small workgroup where tabloid printing may be needed.
“OKI is committed to providing powerful printing technology and cost-effective printing solutions to the marketplace, and we believe that the C831 Series delivers on this promise.”
The other machines meanwhile are the B721dn and B731dn, which are digital monochrome printers aimed at the mid-workgroup segment. The machines are based on the B700 series, and feature higher toner yields of 36,000 pages with one consumable, as well as a monthly duty cycle of 250,000 to 280,000 respectively. A maximum higher paper capacity of 3,160 pages and print speeds of up to 55ppm make the machine “fast, reliable, rugged and energy efficient”, the OEM added.
Other features include “the lowest cost per page among competitive devices in their respective categories”, with the ability to print banners up to 52 inches in length, along with standard duplexing, a quiet mode, and a toner saving feature.
Fukushima noted of these devices: “The new B721dn and B731dn monochrome printers are a tremendous complement to OKI’s broad and award-winning portfolio of printing solutions. With their enhanced features and functionality, the B721dn and B731dn deliver high performance for demanding workgroups at a low operating cost.
“For those seeking reliable, full featured and cost-effective printers, the B721dn and B731dn from OKI Data Americas offer a compelling value proposition.”
