Is it Time to Replace Your Old CIJ Printer?
It often amazes me just how many of the original Citronix inkjet printers are still in use doing a good job for their owners. It is generally considered that the lifespan of this type of printer is in the region of 5 to 7 years. There are however many printers still working well that are […]
