Mount Laurel, NJ (February 20, 2014) – OKI Data Americas – a leader and innovator in the LED digital printing market – announces its participation in the upcoming Graphics of the Americas Exposition and Conference.

OKI Data continues to change the landscape within the commercial printing environment with the introduction of new and innovative digital printing technologies. With the extension of its web printing platform, OKI Data will debut a narrow format web product with film laminating and digital die cutting solutions at Graphics of the Americas. In addition, OKI Data will introduce to this audience select devices from its impressive new Multimedia Production Platform (MPP) and C900 Series of digital color printers.

The following will be demonstrated by OKI Data in booth 608:

711DW – Making its debut at Graphics of the Americas, the new 711DW digital, roll-to-roll label printing system handles a variety of substrates including paper, polyester and vinyl at widths of 6.5 to 8.5 inches in rolls and a maximum outside diameter of 14 inches. Finishing options include digital die cutting and lamination to deliver a complete, cost-effective, digital label printing production system.
C941dn and C931dn – Part of the new C900 Series of production-quality, full color A3 devices, the C941dn and C931dn offer innovative features and functionality to meet the unique needs of the graphic arts market. Both models have game-changing media handling capabilities including transparent media, magnets, banners and heavyweight cardstock, and are supported by an optional EFI® Fiery® XF server. In addition, the C941dn includes an industry-first LED five station toner configuration with cyan, magenta, yellow and black, plus white or clear in the fifth position.
pro920WT textile transfer printer – The commercial-grade OKI pro920WT delivers custom, on-demand output quickly and easily with its ability to print in full color plus white. The pro920WT delivers high-impact and cost-effective, professional-grade transfer printing solutions for an ever increasing array of specialty applications including textiles, leather, ceramics and other hard surfaces.
pro511DW digital web press – The fast, continuous feed pro511DW is a short-run digital label printer that features variable data support. The ability to handle variable data expands the unit’s capabilities and market acceptance with its ability to print sequential numbers, serial numbers, date codes, barcodes and other labeling applications.

Kompac™ EZ Koat 15 coating system – A post-production supplement to the OKI pro511DW, the EZ Koat's applicator produces fast, continuous roll-to-roll UV and aqueous coating. The EZ Koat 15 provides rub-, fade-, water- and scratch-resistance to printed materials, which is advantageous for multiple applications, including on-demand digital labels or cut sheets up to 14.5" wide by virtually any length.
