    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.

        Easy to use and high-quality

        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!
