OKI pro900/905DP Digital Envelope Presses Provide New Growth
Opportunities for Regional Distributor
MOUNT LAUREL, N.J., July 5, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OKI Data Americas
announces the addition of a highly-regarded West Coast printing
distributor -- K. Wilson & Company -- to the proColor division's
expanding network throughout the U.S. and Canada. K. Wilson & Company
now offers select models from the OKI proColor(TM) Series of high
quality, commercial-grade, digital color printers -- including the OKI
pro900/905DP Digital Envelope Presses -- as part of its broad range of
pre-press, printing, finishing and bindery products.
K. Wilson & Company selected the OKI proColor printers to supplement
its existing product line based on the devices' impressive color
printing capabilities, durability, ease of use, reasonable cost of
ownership, and strong return on investment. With the addition of the
OKI pro900/905DP digital printers, K. Wilson & Company is stepping
outside the realm of traditional offset printing, helping expand the
company's customer base to include those who routinely engage in direct
mail campaigns. The OKI proColor products represent K. Wilson &
Company's first foray into the digital printing -- an industry
evolution the company was excited to embrace.
According to the K. Wilson & Company's Founder and President, Ken
Wilson, "The addition of the OKI proColor digital color printers to our
line represents our company's desire to supplement our more traditional
printing product portfolio. We are embracing new opportunities and
targeting new markets, and the OKI pro900/905DP digital envelope
printers help us reach these audiences with a compelling value
proposition."
Based in South San Francisco, CA, K. Wilson & Company provides sales,
service and parts for new and used printing, bindery, finishing and
mailing equipment within the graphic arts industry. Established in
1972, K. Wilson & Company serves Northern California, Northern Nevada
and Hawaii, and has a reputation for being expert consultants.
"OKI is pleased to have K. Wilson & Company join the expanding proColor
distribution network in service to the Western U.S. market. The
proColor brand's growth within the Flexographic, and graphic arts and
production markets is impressive, and is a direct result of both the
line's superiority and the strength of our distribution network
partners, like K. Wilson & Company," said Rich Egert, General Manager
of the Strategic Technology Provider Business Group for OKI Data
Americas.
