of beautiful prints! Compatible with PC and Mac. Network your G3 using PrintWrite® software!
The MX Series, best suited for runs of large quantities, features the fastest print engine and lowest cost
per print. Using four individual ink cartridges (C, M, Y, K), it’s not uncommon to produce up to 1,500 discs
