Smallest, Most Affordable Color Printer
OKI Printing Solutions has introduced the smallest A3 color page printer in the Middle East — the C8600n. The C8600n will provide business users a cost-effective A3 business printing solution that is not only half the size, but almost half the street price of the closest competitor — with the range starting at SR6,950.
Quiet and compact, the C8600n is an ideal solution where space is a premium, or for organizations that want the benefits that A3 color and mono printing can provide. The C8600n’s straight paper path and duplex capability support low-cost printing of a wide variety of business documents such as financial spreadsheets, booklets, work plans and charts. For more creative applications, the C8600n can print materials from A6 to A3 and banners up to 1.2m long. The C8600n enables greater productivity with 26ppm for color printing, 32ppm for mono and fast time to first print at less than 10 seconds for color and mono. To deliver the best print quality, ProQ2400 Multilevel technology and High Definition toner have been developed in unison by OKI to give a higher level of detail, greater color depth, reduced grain and a high gloss feel.
