Details & specifications
Mid-State Litho is an authorized Formax dealer serving Michigan and the Great Lakes since 1984. The Formax AP3 is a mid-range, high-speed monochrome inkjet address printer with a 3-inch print height, dual fixed 1.5-inch heads, and a color touchscreen. It ships with four AP22 high-capacity ink cartridges, with additional cartridges available separately. At $18,595, the AP3 sits in the middle of the Formax address-printer line we stock: the AP2 ($11,795) for lighter mailroom volume, the AP3 and AP4 ($23,195) for higher throughput, and the AP4F ($29,995) for the highest monochrome volume. If you need full color on envelopes and direct mail, our Formax ColorMax line covers that. Every machine on our floor is delivered, installed, and operator-trained by factory-trained technicians and serviced in-house, so a mailing deadline is not held up by an out-of-state service call.
