OKI Printing Solutions, a leader in the global colour printing market, announced today the launch of its new upgraded MC300 series. At a time when businesses with limited budgets are looking to do ‘more with less’, OKI Printing Solutions has launched the MC350 and MC360 multi-function printers (MFPs), targeted at the small workgroup and busy small office, home office (SOHO) markets. The new series comes with 3 years warranty to ensure customers’ peace of mind and guarantee maximum availability of their business-critical in-house printing capability in today’s competitive commercial environment. `
“We have listened to our customers and responded directly to the challenges they face in a tougher economic environment,” said John Ross, general manager, Middle East, India, North East Africa, OKI Printing Solutions. “As a result, the upgraded MC300 series of A4 professional networked all-in-one printers enables smaller businesses to create a wider range of high-quality documents more cost-effectively in-house.
Ross added “And, in recognising the need such businesses have to keep tight control of their budgets, at the same time as enhancing the functionality of the MC300 series we have also reduced the price, making our A4 colour MFPs even more outstanding value for money to buy and ultimately run.”
Meeting market needs
The MC350 and MC360 (with added fax) which replace the C3520 MFP and C3530 MFP respectively, form part of OKI Printing Solutions’ expanding range of MFPs targeted at the fastest-growing segment of today’s printer market.
The MC350 and MC360 offer the following benefits:
· Versatility – Provides the whole team with its entire printing, copying, scanning and (with the MC360) faxing needs. Productivity is improved with the enhanced multi-function capability enabling scanning and faxing whilst printing. The 50-sheet automatic document feeder can accommodate high-volume unattended-copying and scanning. Whilst the in-the-box software, such as Template Manager 3.0, allows businesses to produce highly professional documents from business cards to 1200mm banners using a suite of pre-designed templates, without the added expense of outsourcing.
· Ease of use – Intuitive operator panel for easy access to the entire suite of functions. It is possible to scan directly to the network without the need for additional software or locally attached PC.
· Performance and output quality – OKI’s own ProQ Multi-level image processing ensures exceptionally vivid and consistent colour quality even at impressive print speeds of up to 20ppm (mono) and 16ppm (colour).
· Reliability – Award-winning digital LED print technology, straight paper path technology, easy paper path access and customer installable consumables make the MC300 series inherently more reliable.
Improving Competitiveness
“The MC350 and MC360 brings business-enhancing colour and true multi-functionality within easy reach of individuals and smaller workgroups, backed by OKI Printing Solutions’ unmatched quality of service support,” Ross concludes. “As a result, we are helping smaller businesses improve their competitiveness, by enabling them to continually produce consistently high-quality materials in-house.”
