The OKI Pro1040 prints four-colour in CMYK, whereas the OKI Pro1050 also comes with the spot colour white (CMYK+W). This means that it prints an opaque white background under the colour motif. This makes the print results look brighter. Both printers are suitable for producing creative designs on transparent, dark or coloured label media. A wide variety of materials can be processed, regardless of whether textured paper or synthetic materials with white, clear, opaque or coloured coating.

Waterproof labels can also be printed

Applications for the Label printer OKI's product portfolio includes the industrial labelling of chemicals and the creation of labels for goods tracking, outdoor use, cold storage or packaging, beverages or household goods. Waterproof, UV-resistant labels can also be created.
