White productivity: the C942 is the fastest color-on-color production printer in its class[1]
Mount Laurel, NJ (September 1, 2015) – OKI Data Americas announces its participation in the upcoming GRAPH EXPO 15 tradeshow and conference taking place September 13-16, 2015 at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. There in booth 4031, OKI Data will demonstrate its expanding line of professional digital printing solutions developed to serve a variety of short-run commercial needs, including cut sheet and continuous feed applications, white and clear printing capabilities, a wide range of media handling possibilities, plus lamination and digital die cutting finishing options.
OKI Data will introduce the C942 at this year’s show. The new C942 is the company’s latest five-color production A3/tabloid device.
