Mimaki is to sell Oki Data’s wide-format inkjet printers, ink, other supplies, and maintenance parts in overseas markets.
Under an exclusive international sales agreement the two companies will expand their Japanese alliance, announced in March 2019, to encompass overseas sales.
From 1 April products including Oki Data’s two wide-format solvent inkjet printers, the 8-colour 2.6m ColorPainter H3-104s and the 7-colour 1.6m ColorPainter M-64s, as well as ink and other supplies for these models and more Oki wide-format inkjet printers will be available through Mimaki.
Mimaki is backed by an international dealer network in 150 countries, but it was the company’s ‘technological capabilities and sales and maintenance performance in the wide format inkjet printer business,’ that impressed OKI Data. The Tokyo-based company judged that ‘this alliance will make it possible both to continue serving existing customers reliably and to propose solutions to even more customers.’
UK customers will be served and supported by exclusive Mimaki distributor Hybrid Systems.
