Game-changing technology introduced for textile markets
INDIANAPOLIS—OKI Data Americas expanded its robust portfolio of industry-leading textile transfer printers with the release of the Pro8432WT digital color printer at this weekend’s NBM Show. The Pro8432WT is the latest addition to OKI’s revolutionary collection of white toner printers for the graphics and textile markets.
The tabloid-sized Pro8432WT provides the digital heat transfer solution that textile merchants and garment decorators demand for more vibrant, color-rich graphics on both light and dark garments, hard goods and promotional merchandise. Compact in size but powerful in production, the Pro8432WT is easy to operate and eliminates the cumbersome processes typically associated with traditional screen printing.
“Consumers are asking for more custom and personalized solutions that deliver high production value and can be turned around quickly,” said Fabrizio Soto, General Manager of OKI Data Americas’ Industrial Business Unit. “The Pro8432WT is well positioned to not only provide these unique assets to customers, but also an efficient return on investment for our partners in textile and retail.”
The Pro8432WT relies on OKI’s patented LED printheads to deliver timely, consistent output up to 11”x17”. With its white toner and single-pass print technology, the Pro8432WT saves time over other digital transfer printers without sacrificing the color palette afforded by spot color screen printing. Capable of producing eight full-color 8.5”x11” transfers per minute (six per minute at 11”x17”) the Pro8432WT is a veritable workhorse in textile applications.
“The Pro8432WT is the most recent example of OKI’s continuous quest to design, develop and manufacture leading technology for the color printing industry,” Soto said. “We strive to empower our customers with the industry’s most cutting-edge color solutions.”
OKI products are built on parent company OKI Data Corporation’s history of leadership and innovation. Most of OKI’s color printing solutions feature Single Pass Color™ as well as proprietary digital LED and HD Color technologies. These technologies allow OKI to manufacture products that require fewer moving parts than the traditional laser printer.
