OKI Printing Solutions' Forms Alliance with Degrava to Deliver Innovative Print Solution



    OKI Printing Solutions today announced a strategic partnership
    with Degrava Systems, to deliver a unique solution for high speed
    label production.

    challenging images fast, while providing consistently professional
    quality colour.
