OKI Printing Solutions Announces the Only Two-Year Warranty in the Industry
MOUNT LAUREL, N.J., January 21, 2009
OKI Data Americas, which markets its products under the OKI Printing Solutions brand, today announced it will be packaging the MC860 MFP, C830dn, B420dn, B430dn, B6300dn and the B6500dn with industry-leading, two-year extended warranty coverage at no additional cost to customers when purchased from January 1 to March 31, 2009. Based on this, OKI Data Americas is the only print vendor to offer a standard two-year guarantee on the select workgroup products, surpassing the industry standard and further solidifying the company’s commitment to product quality and to meeting customers’ needs in the current economic conditions.
Highlights of the announcement:
· OKI Data Americas offers industry-leading warranty coverage at no additional cost on select products: MC860 MFP, C830dn, B420dn, B430dn, B6300dn and B6500dn
· Standard two-year warranty provides added security and relieves customers from unexpected costs related to model parts and labor during unstable economic times
· Extended warranty products include duplex and network capabilities standard, supporting ENERGY STAR® compliance by reducing paper waste and lessening environmental impact
“The current state of the economy has impacted consumer purchasing and increased the importance of realizing long term product value,” said Carl Taylor, Director, Product and Industry Marketing for OKI Data Americas. “Our company is committed to customer satisfaction and the extended warranty is part of our effort to offer customers the most value from their technology investment and to drive confidence in the OKI Printing Solutions brand.”
At a time when budgets are limited and spending is down, product value and guarantees are more important than ever, and warranties are a promise to consumers that they will continue to see value from their purchasing decisions. The appeal of product warranties to consumers is evidenced by the continued success of extended warranties, which are purchased by nearly six out of ten consumers.[i]
A one-year warranty is considered the industry standard, so by offering this unmatched, extended two-year warranty standard on select products as of January 1, 2009, OKI Data Americas is addressing the urgent and ongoing need for support and service among its customer base. Eliminating the burden of unexpected additional spending, the guarantee extends the same benefits of OKI Printing Solutions’ Standard Warranty coverage an additional year for added security and continued productivity for all customers.
OKI Data Americas is an environmentally conscious company and is offering the two-year warranty standard on these ENERGY STAR® compliant products. The select products include duplex and network capabilities standard, which helps to reduce waste and lessen the overall impact on the environment.
