Pricing for this model is very sharp and will be available from January with for under six figures – delivered, installed and with training,” Morrison said.
“This model provides the same configuration as the larger JFX200EX flatbed with three heads offering CMYK plus primer, white and clear. The 1213EX also offers the benefit of braille printing which is specific to this JFX model as normally to get braille print, you would need the UJF model.
