NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- OKI Data
Americas, a world-class printing technology leader, today announced
that its ColorPainter M-64s wide-format printer was awarded the
Outstanding "Enhanced" CMYK Eco-solvent/Latex 54"/64" Printer Pick
Award by Keypoint Intelligence's Buyers Lab (BLI). Competing
against printers in Europe and the
USA, the award is the result of
months of hands-on evaluations performed by expert teams of
analysts and lab technicians at BLI.
"OKI Data's ColorPainter M-64s was the clear winner in the
'enhanced' CMYK category," said David Sweetnam, Director of
BLI's Research and Lab Services. "With a strong performance across
multiple categories, the device's CP Manager garnered special
commendation for its comprehensive functionality and usability
helping it achieve Five Star status for Device Management and
Monitoring."
Since launching the Eco-Solvent/latex test program in 2016, BLI
has tested a host of Eco-Solvent and Latex 54"/64" devices in
Europe and the United States, presenting their inaugural
awards to the best performing products in four categories: Entry
level CMYK Eco-solvent, Enhanced CMYK Eco-solvent, High Production
CMYK Eco-solvent and Gamut Expansion Eco-solvent. The award was
presented at the 2017 SGIA Expo in New
Orleans, Louisiana, where the ColorPainter's innovative
print technologies, industrial-grade print heads and low-odor,
eco-solvent ink will be on display through the end of SGIA at OKI
Booth #2233, producing vibrant, glossy graphics with exceptional
color saturation and outdoor durability.
"The ColorPainter M-64s was designed and engineered for the
rigors of mid-to-high-volume print environments, which makes
winning this award, as the only printer to earn a Five Star rating
for speed, truly gratifying," said Fabrizio
Soto, General Manager at OKI Data Americas' Industrial
Business Unit. "We are thrilled that BLI has recognized these
efforts with an 'excellent' rating for highest quality on cast
vinyl media across all devices, outperforming competitors as well
as to be awarded with an additional Five Star status in device
management/monitoring."
