New Technology from
The Fax Specialist

Muratec's new ImageLSI technology improves the readability of the faxes most people see most often!

Muratec's ImageLSI technology is designed to improve the kind of faxes customers receive most often, faxes received at normal resolution.

ImageLSI uses advanced image-handling techniques developed by Muratec to improve the printed appearance of these faxes. The image processing algorithms used in the ImageLSI chip also improve the appearance of pages received with combined text and line art content, and are effective whether or not the sending fax is equipped with ImageLSI technology.


The MFX-1500 is recipient of the "Most Innovative" MFP Award at Fax Directions, and of Buyers Laboratory's coveted "Recommended" seal!
