OKI Plugs gap for Copyright Free Images |

OKI Printing Solutions (OKI) has announced the launch of V-Studio a unique interactive Internet-based community area for print users. Representing a first for the print industry, the new site gives businesses easy access to a variety of benefits including a library of royalty-free images, conveniently categorised by vertical sector.
According to OKI's marketing director, Ewa Johnson, "V-Studio addresses a common dilemma businesses face when developing presentations or other important business documents - a chronic shortage of readily-available, high-quality images. Typically, companies react either by paying for expensive agency photographs, or by risking breach of copyright by obtaining (often poor-quality) pictures from the web."
"V-Studio solves this problem by giving registrants access to an extensive library of royalty-free images categorised by vertical sector. They can then integrate these images into documents as and when required," continues Johnson.
"Through V-Studio we are therefore making it as easy as possible for businesses, even those with little in-house design expertise, to 'professionalise' what they do and create high-quality, high-impact designs."
Additional Benefits First-time visitors to V-Studio follow a straightforward registration process before setting up their own personalised online area. V-Studio stores information on previous visits so that the area becomes more closely customised to your interests and needs over time.
Users will also have the opportunity to develop their own print documents using OKI's free template manager software together with their own newly developed image library. OKI will send users ten free prints to work on. If they purchase any OKI products, users can access a separate area called My Accounts where they can view relevant details about their purchase.
Registered users also benefit from a 21-day free 'try before you buy' promotion on A3 products together with a seven-day preview of relevant end-user promotions before they are made publicly available elsewhere. Registrants also obtain priority access to promotions and other special offers relevant to their vertical sector, together with free entry to OKI events, exhibitions and conferences.
"We believe that V-Studio is unique in the print market today. No other printer manufacturer currently has a community area offering a comparable level of interactivity or an equivalent range of benefits customised to users' specific needs," says Johnson.
