OKI Launches Label Printers to Serve Industry Needs
SINGAPORE, July 4, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Specialty printer manufacturer from Japan releases in Southeast Asia, Pro 
Series Colour Label Printers, to meet growing and changing needs of businesses  
 
OKI has launched game changing narrow-format label printing machines for sales 
in Southeast Asia. The new 'Pro Series' label printers, Pro1040 and Pro1050, 
are the world's firsts, small single-cut label specialized printers, that use 
LED with toner (EP) technology. This latest printing technology for printing 
labels is expected to bring huge benefits to a wide variety of industries and 
businesses in the region.

The new Pro Series label printer enables users to enjoy incredibly flexible 
media handling, high durability, extensibility and a lower total cost of 
ownership. The Pro1040 prints colourful labels using CMYK toners, the Pro1050 
does the same but comes with the extra ability to print spot white (CMYK+W). 
Using white toner, the Pro1050 can print labels with white-only text and 
graphics, as well as create an opaque white background under a colourful image 
to produce even more attractive labels on transparent or coloured label media. 

Many industries require different types of labels and this is where the 
versatility of the Pro1040 and Pro1050 prove their strengths. With unrivalled 
media handling, the Pro Series label printers can print on a variety of media 
from textured papers to synthetics, transparent film (PET) and more. Labels up 
to 1320.8mm in length and as small as 12.7mm - with a minimum cut length of 
101.6mm - can be easily produced. These technical attributes - plus white toner 
technology - make specialty printing possible. The Pro Series label printer 
widens the decorative capabilities of businesses and helps companies create 
more unique labels with purposive messages or specific functions. With this 
printer, textile and apparel companies can create unique clothes tags, and even 
security companies can print labels with special security seals that are used 
to reveal human tampering. 

For the automobile, steel, and many other heavy manufacturing industries with 
in-plant operations, the Pro Series label printers can produce signage labels 
such as GHS labels, chemical labels, ISO labels and identification labels, 
which help enhance the visibility of parts and chemical containers at factory 
and warehouse sites. Customized warning labels can also be printed to warn 
workers of hazardous items, materials or areas. 

In the retail sector, companies are constantly making upgrades to their prime 
labels, and whilst the design graphics are important for prime labels, image 
print quality, choice of media and production speed are just as critical. In 
the food and beverage industry, new and ever-changing products are part of a 
growing consumerism in Southeast Asia, and this has led to an increasing demand 
for more eye-catching and better produced labels. Food labels, customized wine 
labels, bottled drink labels, cosmetic labels, product expiry labels and 
information labels affixed to the packaging of retail store products, are just 
some of the examples of what the Pro Series label printer can produce 
effectively without the need for incurring high costs or compromising on 
quality. Furthermore, by printing in-house i.e. within one's own office or 
business premise, customized labels can be ready and available for use in a 
very short time, and on-demand. 

Using auto recognition technology, many hospitals, factories, logistics 
companies and retail businesses facilitate their operations by using labels 
that are printed with barcodes, variable data or infinitesimal characters. The 
fact that the Pro Series label printers can print all these accurately - and on 
different types of media including thicker media - make them ideal for 
producing reagent labels, process management labels, logistics labels as well 
as medical labels that contain private information - plus in full colour too.

"We are proud to finally launch the Pro Series label printers in Southeast 
Asia," said Masahiko Tsuda, Managing Director for Oki Data (Singapore) Pte. 
Ltd. and President of Oki Systems (Thailand) Ltd. "Many businesses in this 
region have labelling requirements, so it is normal for such companies to seek 
more efficient and cost-effective ways to improve this aspect of their 
business. Using cutting-edge LED colour technology, we are confident that the 
new Pro1040 and Pro1050 label printers can help businesses grow their revenue 
and improve operations."

For business owners, the Pro1040 and Pro1050 signify excellent value for label 
production because they offer high efficiency with low capital investment. 
These specialised label printers are for users who require on-demand printing 
and versatility. Business owners who want to create more choices of label 
designs but print in lower volumes - to reduce label stock and wastage - will 
find the Pro Series label printers suitable for their needs. Additionally, the 
printers are easy to set-up and operate too. 

The Pro1040 and Pro1050 label printers are now available for sales in Southeast 
Asia. Customers who are interested to purchase or find out more about these 
products, can contact the local OKI office, authorised OKI distributors or 
resellers.
