Professional OKI Number Plate Printers for UK Vehicle Registration
Transform your number plate production with OKI’s advanced printing technology. From mono plates to full-colour designs with white underbase, our printers deliver DVLA-compliant results every time.
Why Choose OKI for Number Plate Printing?
When it comes to producing vehicle registration plates that meet strict UK regulations, precision and reliability are non-negotiable. OKI number plate printers have earned their reputation as the trusted choice for automotive businesses, dealerships, and specialist plate manufacturers across the United Kingdom. Whether you need high-speed monochrome printing for standard plates or advanced white toner technology for custom designs, OKI delivers the performance and quality your business demands.
The number plate printing industry requires equipment that can handle reflective materials, maintain sharp character definition, and produce durable results that withstand years of outdoor exposure. Traditional printing methods often fall short, requiring multiple passes or external services that slow down production. OKI’s digital LED technology changes this equation entirely, offering single-pass printing with exceptional resolution and media flexibility that puts you in complete control of your plate production.
Professional Number Plate Solutions
DVLA-Compliant Standards
Every vehicle registration plate must meet stringent DVLA specifications for character height, spacing, and reflectivity. OKI printers deliver crisp, legible characters at 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution, ensuring your plates pass inspection every time.
Reflective Material Handling
OKI printers excel at handling specialized reflective materials required for legal number plates. Support for media weights up to 360 gsm ensures reliable feeding and professional results on any substrate.
White Toner Technology: The Game-Changer
For businesses producing custom or show plates, the OKI Pro 9542’s white toner capability represents a revolutionary advance. Unlike conventional CMYK printers that struggle with reflective substrates, the Pro 9542 lays down a dense white underbase in a single pass before applying colour.
- Makes colours vibrant and opaque on reflective materials
- Single-pass white-under printing eliminates multiple runs
- Professional-quality colour plates with exceptional durability

Applications Across the Automotive Industry
Vehicle Dealerships
Car dealerships require immediate plate production to complete vehicle handovers. OKI printers enable you to print registration plates on-site, eliminating delays from external suppliers and improving customer experience.
Specialist Plate Manufacturers
For businesses dedicated to plate production, OKI printers represent the backbone of efficient operations. Handle high-volume standard plates and open revenue streams in custom and show plate markets.
Fleet Management
Organizations managing vehicle fleets need reliable plate production for new acquisitions and replacements. Bring this capability in-house and respond immediately to vehicle incidents or fleet expansions.
Custom & Show Plates
The enthusiast market for personalized and show plates demands creativity and quality. White toner technology unlocks design possibilities that were previously impossible or prohibitively expensive.
Automotive Workshops
Repair shops and body shops can offer plate replacement services to customers. Add value to your service offering and generate additional revenue with on-demand plate printing capability.
Trade Plate Suppliers
Businesses supplying trade plates to the motor industry need reliable, high-volume production. OKI printers deliver the speed and consistency required for commercial operations.
Cost-Effective In-House Production
Sending plate production to external suppliers incurs per-unit costs that accumulate quickly. Bringing printing in-house with OKI equipment transforms this variable expense into a predictable fixed cost. After the initial equipment investment, your per-plate cost drops to just the materials and toner.
For businesses producing even moderate volumes, this transition typically achieves payback within months while providing the added benefits of faster turnaround and greater control. Pre-printed plate stock ties up capital and creates waste when designs change. On-demand printing eliminates this inventory burden entirely.
- Eliminate per-unit outsourcing costs
- Reduce inventory and storage requirements
- Offer same-day service for premium pricing
- Expand into custom and show plate markets
- Increase revenue opportunities across segments
