Play Now (October), Pay Later (January) for Printers, Laminators and Media

Inkjet printing equipment promotionNow is the time to buy that printer or laminator (or both) you’ve always wanted, as well as the inkjet media, laminates and adhesives to run through it (them).

LexJet announced today its Play Now, Pay Later promotion: Buy a 42-inch or wider printer or laminator, or any GBC binding equipment over $1,000, plus a minimum of $500 in inkjet media, laminates, adhesives or binding accessories from LexJet and you’ll make no payment until next year.

You can also combine this promotion with the current printer rebates being offered by Canon, Epson and HP.
