Muratec wins Print.IT award for
colour multifunctional
Muratec Europe (UK), manufacturer of multifunction office equipment and
business solutions, has won the coveted Editor’s Choice award from Print.IT
magazine for the Muratec MFX-C3400 system.
For colour output the powerful MFX-C3400 has a 26 page per minute (ppm)
print and copy speed, making output of colour documents, such as reports and
training notes, easy and quick. For black-and-white output the MFX-C3400 has a
fast 34ppm print speed.
The MFX-C3400 delivers high quality colour output with a super-detail
resolution of 1200 by 600dpi for outstanding results. Muratec’s proven colour print
technology ensures subtle tones and gradations of colour giving photographic
quality to images in documents. An RADF (recirculating automatic document
feeder) allows the versatile MFX-C3400 to perform fully automatic duplex (double
sided) copying and scanning. Routinely duplex printing and copying drastically
reduces paper consumption, saving costs and helping the environment.
As well as printing onto A3 stock up to 200gsm in weight, the versatile
MFX-C3400 can print full colour banners up to 1,200mm in length.
Designed for high productivity, the Muratec MFX-C3400
is supplied network ready for network printing and
scanning and is easy to use thanks to a large backlit
touchscreen.
