(C9200n Studio Edition only). "Oki Data's color LED printers and Monaco Systems' ICC profiling software have teamed up to provide customers with outstanding print quality and a cost-effective color management solution,'' said George Adam, CEO, Monaco Systems, Inc. There are additional benefits.

"Our Studio Edition Family offers commercial printers and graphic design firms a professional color management system that is easy to set up and use. With the industry supporting either distributed or centralized printing in either ICC or PS CRD workflow, we now have a solution to support all needs while increasing productivity and high-quality output.''

"We wanted to provide the most color-centric of industries with the best possible color printing and print-on-demand capabilities,'' added Kirvan.
