Prints A3 and A4. Suits busy offices and departments where several people print and scan through the day.
Is an A3 colour machine right for you?
An A3 colour multifunction prints, copies and scans in colour on paper up to A3, and is the usual choice for an office's main shared machine. It suits offices that produce proposals, reports with charts, plans or marketing material, and anywhere a colour page needs to look like it came from a print shop.
The right machine depends on how many pages you print a month, how much of it is colour, whether you need A3, and how many people scan. We start with those questions, and if a different model suits you better we will say so.
