Formax ColorMax8 Digital Color Printer
The ColorMax8 Digital Color Printer combines the latest in inkjet technology with the capacity to produce full bleed, full-color mailing and packaging solutions. In addition to envelope printing and addressing, the wider, flatter paper path allows users to print on stuffed envelopes, 10 x 13 flats, chipboard, corrugated cardboard, cartons, padded envelopes and more, up to 3/8” thick. Its Memjet® print head has 70,400 ink nozzles and no moving parts, which offers higher speeds, lower ink and maintenance costs and less noise.
An intuitive 7” color touchscreen provides greater control over the entire print process, displaying system status and providing access to common functions and settings. The ColorMax 8 produces full-color CMYK output, up to 16.8 million colors, on a variety of paper stocks and sizes, with full-bleed capability on media up to 8.5” wide. It can print 1600 x 1600 dpi at 6 inches per second, and 1600 x 800 dpi at 12 inches per second.
With its thermal inkjet technology, it doesn’t require heat or contact to create an image, so it can safely be used with pre-printed envelopes and windowed envelopes without damaging the window or marring the original image. High-capacity ink tanks and fully-automated print head cleaning ensure optimum print quality throughout print runs.
*The Formax ColorMax8 Digital Color Printer comes with an on-site installation, training, and maintenance with a 90 day warranty and an optional Annual Service Agreement.

For some of us, quality is more important than the price. This printer, however, has both high quality and low price for what you get. I am amazed by how easy it is to use and how efficient it is. The inks last ages thanks to the Memjet technology, while still printing high-quality, colorful prints/documents. The automatic maintenance of the printer is another huge plus. I would not hesitate when getting this printer , it is well worth it.

Quality product
As you can determine from the price, this is a top-shelf product. It works flawlessly in our busy office and produces the highest quality prints while using lower amounts of ink than other printers. It is very quiet, works with a variety of materials, as well as full envelopes, and can hold an incredible amount of jobs on hold. If you want the best product for your business, I highly recommend getting this printer.

Fabulous printer
This is the best printer I have had in all the years of printing things. It can store a lot in terms of both ink and stored jobs. It also has a touchscreen, which is very intuitive and multi-functional – you can even set the paper path thickness. All in all, I think this is a superb product, especially for the price you pay for the sheer quality that this offers. Plus, shipping is free and very quick!

I’m completely new to laser cutting. I was looking for something to get me started that wasn’t super pricy as I was taking a risk purchasing this equipment with no experience. My purchase was solely to laser cut and not engrave so when I do get around to engraving that will just be a bonus. I did do the test engraving and it turned out fine so I doubt I’ll have any struggles with that. I gotta say the whole process was super easy from purchasing/delivery to setup and learning to make my first cuts. It has been great! I’ve been making and selling my items on Etsy. This purchase has allowed me to introduce new products into my shop of almost 9 years. Once the positive reviews started coming in it made me more confident in knowing I made the right choice. I know it will pay itself off in no time! Thanks for making my entry into the laser cutting world seamless and a positive one!!
Machineshark was one of the best online retailers I have used. Any questions I had were answered promptly by very knowledgeable staff from the customer service department. Safe arrived in perfect shape via a freigh carrier. The safe itself is of very high quality. Overall I'm very satisfied with my purchase, and can't say enough how professional Machineshark representatives are. They truly made the whole purchase process seamless and stress free!!
