White is Right with OKI - OKI Data Australia Releases the C711WT, The First Printer with White Printing Capabilities
Announcement posted by Oki Data Australia 25 Feb 2013
OKI Data Australia, a global manufacturer of business range printers and multi-function devices, has introduced “white” printing, the latest innovation in colour printing.
OKI is the first manufacturer to release standard colour printers that are also capable of printing white. Instead of the conventional CMYK configuration, the new C711WT printer employs CMY toners plus a white toner (CMYW). All colours printed, including any “black” images, are reproduced using a composite of CMY toners. A white toner is then added when needed to support the production of transfer materials, transparent signage/labelling materials and when white is needed on dark media.
Thanks to their excellent media handling capabilities and LED technology, OKI printers have long been the product of choice for many of the transfer media manufacturers that service the garment and product decoration industries. Now, with new types of transfer media developed specifically for white toner devices, it is even easier to create vibrant looking decorations even on dark coloured fabrics and objects. White toner can also be added in many print applications involving transparent material to make colour images standout and can even be used on its own on dark coloured media.
The C711WT is capable of printing on any material a regular OKI product can print. It is also incredibly useful in printing on transparent media. The white layer behind the CMY image enables colours to stand out and can be used for a wide variety of applications. In addition, selecting greyscale in the driver turns everything into shades of white. This is useful for printing white directly onto dark media. White can also be printed as a spot colour.
The C711WT printer is ideal for specific markets, including the garment decoration industry, packaging, signage & label producers. Achieving vibrant full colour printing plus white is also an advantage to any graphics business offering individual and short run display material, bespoke stationery, concepts, T-shirts or promotional merchandise. Indeed, the white printer is sufficiently flexible for businesses to print in-house what they need, when they need it.
Antonio Leone, Marketing Manager for OKI Data ANZ, said, “The ability to print white for the first time on a desktop digital printer adds a level of versatility that will undoubtedly uncover untapped uses and applications, provide a launchpad for OKI into new markets, and empower users with unprecedented flexibility.”
