Lease from £35/month
Product image coming soon
The ineo+ 257i is Develop's most affordable A3 colour MFP. Same 25ppm print speed as the 251i, but with a compact 7-inch touchscreen instead of the 10.1-inch panel, and slightly simpler scanning at 55 ipm simplex / 20 ipm duplex. It still handles paper from A6 to A3 at up to 256gsm. If you don't need the faster scanning and larger screen of the 251i, the 257i delivers the same excellent colour output for less money.
