OKI(R) Printing Solutions Earns Top Color Product Awards from Industry Expert; Industry Honors Solidify Oki Data Americas' Role as a Premier Provider of Digital Color Printer and Multifunction Color Office Equipment.

MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. -- Oki Data Americas, which markets its products under the OKI(R) Printing Solutions brand, today announced that industry analyst BERTL named the ES1624n MFP and the C9800 Series from OKI(R) Printing Solutions among its 2006 "BERTL's Best." BERTL presented the awards to OKI Printing Solutions at the AIIM Conference & Expo, the leading event for the Enterprise Content & Information Management industry, which is being held this week in Philadelphia.

The ES1624n MFP's outstanding print quality, ease of use, impressive features and good media handling capabilities earned it the "Best Executive Office Color MFP" award, as well as the prestigious 4-Star "Highly Recommended" Award from BERTL when it was tested last year.

"The ES1624n MFP is an excellent choice for an executive office, offering an impressive feature set, strong software toolset, good media handling, good output quality across both copy and print functions, and an excellent user's manual," said Dave Sweetnam, Vice President of Research and Content Development, BERTL, in a recent review of the unit. "It delivers an easy to use and cost-effective document management solution with outstanding reliability."

The C9800 Series digital color tabloid printer from OKI Printing Solutions is ideal for large workgroups that require high-volume color printing solutions. The C9800 Series features built-in Fiery controller technology that enables advanced color printing capabilities, fast print speeds and competitive price point, which garnered it the highly-coveted "Best Entry Level Production Color Printer" award, as well as a 5-Star "Exceptional" Award, BERTL's highest ranking, when it was tested last year.

"The C9800 Series breaks new ground in the desktop color printer market, with its offering of embedded EFI(R) Fiery Technology at an unprecedented price point," said Sweetnam. "We named the C9800 Series the best entry level production color printer because of the distinct benefits it delivers to retailers in allowing them to distribute corporate-created signage files to regional or multi-store locations for on-demand, economical and accurate in-store color printing of a full range of professional-quality signage."

According to Scott Becker, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Oki Data Americas, "We're excited about the awards our color products received from leading industry analysts like BERTL. As we expand our offering of business printing solutions, we look forward to continued recognition from industry experts who understand the value of OKI Printing Solutions' product portfolio."
