Printer News: OKI MC860 MFP Offers Wide Format Color Laser Printing in a Small Package

People will tell you that life is all about compromise. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Pessimists I say! It seems I have some kindred spirits at OKI printing Solutions. The new OKI MC860 MFP is a wide-format, multifunction color laser printer that doesn't take up half your office.

The OKI MC860 prints banners up to 11.6" x 47.24". It also scans, copies, and faxes. It also includes security features that help you keep track of print jobs and monitor usage. The OKI MC860 MFP comes in three models depending on how much paper storage you want.

The MC860's wide-format printing in a relatively small package (22.2 x 25.9 x 26.3 inches for the single-tray model) sets it apart from other printers in its class. It prints up to 26 pages per minute in color and 33 in black and white.

Summary

Multifunction wide-format color laser printer best for businesses that need to print banners and other signage

MSRP: $3,999 (62431401); $4,459 (62431403); $4,739 (62431405)
