OKI, spezialist for professional LED printing solutions and managed print services and RGF, association of system houses, specialist dealers and consultants, invite to photokina (Cologne, September 18th to 23rd, hall 4.1, booth D008) together with their partner EFI, world's market leader for digital printing innovations. Addressing the photo market, OKI will launch their LED white print systems and demonstrate them to artists and creatives.

The prototype shown at drupa as world premiere is now named »OKI ES9420WT«. Brand new is OKI's A4 model: »OKI ES7411WT«. Both systems will be available at specialized dealers after the show. The new OKI machines are driven by EFI Colorproof XF.

A unique possibility is to print with white toner onto colored materials, e.g. onto dark textiles and transferring onto other fabrics, e.g. wood or metal. The systems are fast, reliable and cost-efficient.

At the world's leading trade show for photography, OKI also shows their machine for printing in usual 4 color process: »OKI ES8441«, a machine ideal for In-house photo book manufacturing. It too is driven by EFI Colorproof XF, marking another world premiere and guaranteeing correct colors.
