IBM launched three new multifunction printers (MFPs) last week, including the Infoprint 1650, the Infoprint 1572, and the M40 MFP option, which turns plain old Infoprint 1552n and 1572n printers into a full-fledged MFP.
The new Infoprint 1650 prints at the speed of 45 pages per minute (PPM), and also copies, faxes, and scans, all for a starting price of $1,799. The 1650 can be equipped with a 50-page automatic document feeder (ADF), as well as 250-, 500-, or 2000-sheet input drawers, and features a monochrome display.
The Infoprint 1572 is a 50 PPM device that comes with a price tag of $5,319. Highlights of this MFP include a 50-page ADF, two 500-sheet drawers, a 100-sheet multipurpose feeder, a 40 GB hard drive, 500-sheet duplex capabilities, and the StapleSmart finisher. It also features an 8-inch color touch screen display.
Companies that have already purchased an Infoprint 1552n or 1572n printer can upgrade their devices with fax, scan, copy, and send functionality with the new M40 MFP option. It also includes features like "job interrupt" for priority copies, a "custom job build" feature for combining sheets of paper placed in the ADF with bound material, and "scan preview." The M40 MFP option also includes a hard drive, and adds $2,433 to the cost of the Infoprint 1552n, which lists at $871, and the Infoprint 1772n,m which lists at $1,348.
