OKI Printing Solutions to Unveil New Line-up

OKI Printing Solutions ships one millionth color printer
TOKYO, March 6, 2007

OKI Printing Solutions*, the world’s second largest manufacturer of business color printers, today shipped its one millionth digital LED color page printer.

The one millionth color printer – the award winning C3400 A4 printer – left OKI Printing Solutions’ manufacturing facility in Thailand, which is responsible for 47% of the company’s global manufacturing output.

OKI Printing Solutions’ one millionth color printer shipment is a key milestone in the company’s aggressive climb to the number two position in the global color business printer market for 2006; having held the number four position in 2005.**

This is due to the company’s competitive growth of approximately 20% in the +10ppm segment, year-on-year for the last four years***, as well as the worldwide success of such ranges as the C5000 and C6000 Series business color printers.

In addition to shipping one million color page printers, OKI Printing Solutions has also shipped over seven million mono page printers, 22 million SIDM printers and more than 100 million printer ribbons to date – a significant result given the company focuses solely on providing to businesses.

President and CEO of Oki Data Corporation Mikihiko Maeno says: “Shipment of the one millionth color printer not only marks a significant milestone for OKI Printing Solutions, but signals the beginning of another successful year for our company.

“In 2006 we extended our footprint across Asia and Central America to support a staggering 600% growth in company color sales in the last three years. This year we look forward to announcing more major expansions that will support this rapid rate of business growth.”

OKI Printing Solutions will continue to strengthen its global presence in 2007 through the launch of new color products founded on the company’s unique High Definition Color technology.
