All OKI wide-format devices produce GREENGUARD Gold Certified output, having passed a rigorous certification process meeting health-based criteria for low chemical and particle emissions for use in sensitive environments like educational and medical facilities.

Delivering groundbreaking innovation in print-for-pay operations as well as the graphic arts, textile and stationery markets, OKI’s proColor Series features the C942dn CMYK + White printer and its ability to print impactful graphics on dark stocks by laying high-density white toner beneath color in a single pass.
