Formax AP2 vs AP3, AP4, and AP4F: which address printer fits your mail volume

The AP2 is the entry model, rated up to 22,000 #10 envelopes per hour, built for mail rooms that run repeat jobs. The Formax AP3 is the mid-range step up. The Formax AP4 is the high-volume in-line printer, and the Formax AP4F is the AP4 with an AP12 heavy-duty friction feeder for tougher stock. Choose by daily volume and feeder needs, then request a quote. The full range sits in monochrome inkjet printers.
