If you have an infrastructure to create signage
already in place but wind up outsourcing the jobs to
a commercial printer and shipping piles of signs to
your many store locations, OKI
®
has a real cost-saving
solution for you.
Create your signs as you usually do, then use Distributed
Printing from OKI to send the print files over your
corporate intranet (using FTP technology) directly to OKI
printers in your local stores, where your managers can
print exactly the number of signs they need.
No PCs are required to receive files for the store
printers. No shipping charges—nor damage—are
incurred. And there’s no wasted material as a result
of stores getting too many signs or by not receiving
dated material on time.
Color accuracy ensures consistency.
When a
print file (.prn) is sent from corporate headquarters to
remote OKI printers, the printer settings go along,
embedded in the file. You get consistent signage and
promotional materials—sheet to sheet and store
to store.
You also get them fast: OKI Digital Color printers
deliver up to 30 pages per minute in brilliant color,
and up to 37 ppm in clear, sharp black & white

Distributed Printing
from OKI enables you to make revisions and updates
to in-store signage in real time. They can be sent as
quickly as the electronic file is completed—and on
display the same day!
And you can tailor your signage for individual stores
as well as groups of locations: simply target specific
OKI printers for your files.
An added benefit: secure printing.
When a print
file arrives at your store printers via Distributed
Printing from OKI, it can only be accessed by a code
punched into the keypad on the printers’ operator
panels. Management retains complete control of
the printing process.
In addition to preventing unauthorized use of the
OKI printer, this secure printing feature also allows
you to send sensitive documents to a single location
or group of stores.
Easily distribute corporate-created signage to regional or
multi-store locations for fast, economical in-store printing.
