OKI the laser printer manufacturer, and EFI, the manufacturer of the world’s most popular proofing Raster Image Processor (RIP), have joined together to produce an “incredibly colour accurate” printing solution.

“OKI’s C9650XF series is equipped with the highly advanced EFI XF RIP to produce new, groundbreaking printing technology which is set to create new standards for speed, quality and performance in the Middle East graphic arts market,” OKI said in a statement.
“The C9650XF builds on and strengthens OKI’s range of affordable, high-quality A3 colour printers and meets all the printing needs of businesses requiring maximum flexibility, reliability and high performance at a reasonable price,” it added.
According to the company, the C9650XF allows businesses to consolidate their printing needs into one cost-effective and efficient device, providing them with the flexibility to carry out large volume print runs and produce creative documents in-house. Together with outstanding media support of up to 300 gsm, 1.2 m long banner printing capability and a flexible finishing option, the C9650XF gives businesses the capacity to handle a wide range of printing needs to meet the demands of a busy office.
A high performing A3 colour printer, the C9650XF has print speeds of up to 40 pages per minute, integrated A3 and A4 duplex printing and Graphic Pro colour management, allowing users to download colour profiles to the printer’s hard disk for specific colour matching. The C9650XF also benefits from OKI Printing Solutions’ innovative high definition toner, which provides a high- level of detail, greater depth of colour and a high gloss feel for exceptional print results every time.
In addition, the C9650XF offers essential print security with a range of in-box utilities such as secure erase, data encryption and password protection to protect confidential data and prevent unauthorised access. For added financial control, the C9650XF includes print control for easy administration and monitoring of user access to colour printing over the network. It has an intuitive control panel and simple design. The printer consumables are simple to change and paper trays can be refilled whilst printing continues from a different tray. All these features are designed to provide greater reliability and productivity for demanding business environments.
