Professional CMYK plus white label printing for standout short-run production
The OKI Pro1050 is a tabletop, toner-based colour LED label printer designed for on-demand label production. It combines CMYK with spot white toner, giving businesses the ability to produce high-impact labels on white, coloured, dark and transparent media without relying on pre-printed label stock.

See the OKI Pro1050 label workflow in action
This video supports the OKI Pro1050 page by helping visitors understand how the Pro1050 fits into short-run, on-demand label production where CMYK plus white toner, transparent media and speciality label workflows are important.
It is useful for visitors considering white toner label printing, short-run label production, transparent film labels, premium product labels or in-house label control.
Why Intellistor trusts this printer
The OKI Pro1050 is the stronger fit where white toner is required. It gives businesses more creative freedom than a CMYK-only label printer, especially on transparent, coloured and darker substrates.
We recommend it for premium labels, short-run product ranges and speciality applications where white underprinting or white label elements help the product stand out.
White toner changes what is possible with in-house labels
For businesses producing premium products, white toner can be the difference between a basic label and a professional, retail-ready result. The Pro1050 is especially useful when the label media itself forms part of the brand presentation.
Transparent Films
Print white and colour effects on transparent substrates for premium and speciality labels.
Coloured Label Stock
Use white toner to make text, graphics and colour layers more visible on coloured media.
Premium Packaging
Support higher-impact product labels for cosmetics, beverages, craft products and speciality ranges.
Short-Run Variants
Produce multiple label versions without committing to large outsourced pre-printed roll quantities.
Dry toner technology suited to varied production environments
Because the Pro1050 uses toner-based LED printing rather than liquid ink, it is well suited to businesses that need consistent short-run production across different label stocks and operating environments.
Correct media testing remains important. Print quality can vary depending on the label material, so the right substrate and setup are essential for reliable results.
- Toner-based LED printing supports stable label production
- Suitable media can provide water, scratch, alcohol and daylight resistance
- White toner requires correct media testing and setup
- Useful for short-run production where flexibility and visual impact matter
