OKI Printing Solutions has unveiled the new compact C3500 and C5500 Series Multifunction Products (MFPs) - the fastest A4 colour MFPs in their class, offering exceptional value for busy users.
These network ready products integrate state-of-the-art printing, copying, scanning and faxing for small work teams and individuals. The C3500 Series MFP brings true multifunctionality within reach of all businesses, while the C5500 Series MFP offers enhanced performance levels for higher volume users.
Both the C3500 and the C5500 Series MFPs offer the fastest print speeds in their class at 16/20ppm for the C3530 MFP and 20/32ppm for the C5550 MFP. Impressively, the C3500 Series MFP is up to four times faster than more expensive competitor four pass laser products in its class, while the mono print speeds on the C5500 Series MFP are unmatched even by many mono photocopiers. These speeds coupled with the large monthly duty cycle of up to 60 000 pages, give exceptional productivity and ensure that users can print on-demand, without interruption.
In addition to speed and flexibility, the C3500 and C5500 Series MFPs incorporate smart, simple, solid design, where style and functionality work hand-in-hand. For instance, all models are compact in design, conserving valuable office/desktop space, while being easy to use from the moment they come out of the box. Network-ready configuration and intuitive control allow for seamless integration into any workplace. Users simply need to plug in to get started.
Neil Rom, managing director of Printacom, sole brand representative and importer of OKI Printing Solutions in South Africa, says: "We've always believed that there is more one can do with one's OKI products and this breakthrough accentuates this drive. The updates on the C3500 and C5500 series MFPs mean that we can bring professional MFP capability in both colour and mono within reach of all businesses."
