About the Formax ColorMax LP2
The ColorMaxLP2 used the same core Memjet engine found across the ColorMax label-printer line: a 70,400-nozzle print head producing full-color CMYK labels at up to 60 feet per minute and 1600 x 1600 dpi, with full-bleed printing up to 8.5" wide on paper, polyester, polypropylene, and vinyl stock. It handled roll diameters up to 10" and included a 7" touchscreen plus a high-speed unwinder/rewinder system for continuous roll-to-roll printing. Formax has since discontinued the ColorMaxLP2 in favor of the ColorMaxLP3.
