Oki Data Americas, Inc., a leading manufacturer of color and monochrome printers, serial impact dot matrix printers, multifunction products and facsimiles, continues its recent string of product accolades as PC World's March 2004 issue ranked three of OKI®’s digital color printers in its renowned Top Ten Color Laser Printer report, including awarding the OKI C7300n the number one color laser printer and “Best Buy” position for the third consecutive time.
In addition, the OKI C9500dxn and OKI C5100n placed fifth and tenth respectively on the PC World Top Ten List giving OKI three rankings, the most of any printer company on the current Top Ten List. The OKI C9500dxn and OKI C5100n have recently been celebrated by other publications as well, including Better Buys For Business naming both the entire OKI C9000 and OKI C5000 product lines “Editors Choice” in a November 2003 printer round-up. Scott Becker, VP, Marketing for Oki Data Americas, notes, “Oki Data is delighted to see our products continue to receive top honors. We were especially pleased to see three of our digital color printers make the PC World Top Ten List, with the OKI C7300n successfully defending its Number One/Best Buy position. OKI is committed to delivering the best printers and technology on the market, so it’s rewarding to see the industry recognize that we set the standard in color printers.”
OKI C7300n – “The Undisputed Top Choice” The PC World editors said the OKI C7300n “remains the undisputed top choice” for this most recent Top Ten list, noting the printer’s “impressive speed”, which was “quicker than any other printer” they have recently reviewed, as well as its “perfectly formed text.” The printer’s affordable price was also cited in the review, as the editors remarked that the OKI C7300n is “extremely reasonable compared with the prices of similarly equipped color office printers.” PC Worldsummed up their review by noting the “C7300n's speed, text quality, and low price make it a top choice for busy offices that need occasional splashes of color.” The OKI C7300n has been consistently lauded by PC World, most notably its receipt of the 2003 “World Class Award” for Best Color Laser Printer, an award honoring products that set the standard for excellence in the high-tech industry.
