For the affected programs, the price changes will only apply to the following monthly license charge (MLC) software pricing metrics: FWLC, TWLC, PSLC, PSF Printer Block Tiers, Per System with VOQ and non variable charge. The price increase for a given program will be approximately 4% depending on the features selected.

This increase will align the price of these products with the price of their respective replacement products Print Transform AFPXPCL (5655TF2), Print Transform AFPXPDF (5655TF1) and Print Transform AFPXPS (5655TF3) and will reflect approximately a 13% to 25% increase depending on the server type.
