Our Experience with the OKI Pro1050
Why we trust this printer
The OKI Pro1050 is one of the most distinctive label printers available. It is the model we recommend when clients need to print white on clear, metallic, or dark materials.
We’ve installed this system for premium beverage brands, cosmetic producers, chemical companies, and speciality manufacturers.
Real world performance
The defining feature of the Pro1050 is its white toner capability. This allows for true underprint white, spot white, and layered effects.
We’ve seen clients use it to:
• Print on clear labels without losing readability
• Create metallic and premium effects
• Produce labels on dark substrates
• Achieve boutique finishes in-house
It is not designed for speed—it is designed for creative and material flexibility.
Built for South African conditions
Like the Pro1040, the dry toner system makes the Pro1050 less sensitive to humidity and temperature changes. It performs well in workshops, packing rooms, and light industrial environments.
The support makes a difference
This is a specialist printer, and when supported correctly, it becomes a powerful production tool. Reliability is key when producing premium labels.
Who benefits most
We typically recommend the Pro1050 to businesses that:
• Need white printing
• Print on transparent or dark media
• Produce premium or speciality products
• Want shelf differentiation
• Require short-run flexibility
Our honest assessment
The Pro1050 is not for everyone. It is slower than inkjet systems and serves a very specific purpose. But if you need white, metallic, or clear-label capability in-house, it offers a true competitive advantage

Bringing a new colour dimension to labels – fifth colour or CMYK option enables greater
Combining digital LED together with dry toner technology, the 5 colour (CMYK+1) label printer, allows for greater flexibility in label design. The white can be used to create exceptional designs on coloured or metallised effect substrates (gold and silver) which are difficult to print using other digital technologies. Capture attention with unique eye-catching labels without impacting costs.

Robust water/chemical resistant printing – for robust labels that survive underwater and are resistant to UV fading
Print waterproof labels that are robust and resistant to UV fading and have also been tested to survive underwater. These waterproof labels meet EU standards. Under EU rules, some two-colour labels must survive for up to three months underwater without the label or printed matter coming away or significantly disintegrating. Using the synthetic ‘Teslin’ material, the Pro1050 can be used to produce multiple-colour narrow-format waterproof labels that have been tested to survive underwater for the duration of the EU-mandated period.
- Waterproof labelling for horticulture, where plant and tree labels must withstand wet conditions
- Print outdoor labels resistant to UV fading for up to one year
- Chemical resistant labelling for home and personal care
