OKI Wins Keypoint Intelligence's BLI 2018 Pick Award in Wide Format "Enhanced" CMYK Category


OKI (News - Alert) Data Corporation, an OKI Group company specializing in the printers business, today announced that its ColorPainterTM M-64s, a wide-format inkjet 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'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 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 Expansio Eco-solvent. The award was presented at the 2017 SGIA Expo in New Orleans, Louisiana.



BLI applauded the ColorPainter M-64s for its productivity and exceptional dimensional stability in highly accurate multi-panel artwork. In addition to those advantages, it was also recognized as the only device to achieve excellent rating for the reproduction of the grayscale.
