New Lexmark printer, MFPs bring high performance, productivity to workgroups

LEXINGTON, Ky., May 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Lexmark International, Inc. (NYSE: LXK) today announced four new smart devices aimed at increasing productivity for heavy-usage workgroups and departments in mid-sized businesses and large enterprises. Highlighted by a cutting-edge user interface and time-saving features, the solutions-enabled devices enhance Lexmark's award-winning color product lineup and strengthen its position in a key market segment - color workgroup products.

Capable of printing media sizes up to 12.6 inches x 48 inches, the Lexmark X950 color multifunction product (MFP) Series and Lexmark C950de color printer are ideal for workgroups who require specialty printing, such as A3-sized (11-inch x 17-inch) media, high-volume jobs and advanced finishing. Both product families also offer productivity solutions that help streamline workflow and reduce unnecessary printing, all while ensuring customer data, devices and networks are protected with advanced, multi-layered security features. Authentication, authorization, audit logging and hard disk wiping* are each offered as standard, out-of-the-box capabilities and do not require the purchase of additional data security kits.

The addition of these products provides a strong complement to Lexmark's industry-leading portfolio of A4 (8.5-inch x 11-inch) workgroup printers and MFPs, so customers who maintain a mixed fleet of Lexmark devices will have a consistent user experience. Lexmark's smart devices leverage an intuitive e-Task interface and powerful solutions platform, enabling users to view, select and print specific pages within a document directly from the touch screen.

X950 Color MFP Series

Three models within the dynamic Lexmark X950 color MFP Series will accelerate the work of workgroups and departments that need high performance and flexible output options. Further, these feature-rich MFPs deliver outstanding color output and support a wide range of media and finishing options, allowing businesses to produce their professional-quality marketing collateral in-house to save valuable time and money. Named Color Replacement, offered standard on these MFPs, is designed for the many businesses that require precise color matching when producing branded materials. Print jobs that might otherwise be outsourced can now be done internally with color output that meets the highest standard of accuracy.

The easy-to-navigate, 10.2-inch color interface serves as a launching pad to a number of productivity-enhancing solutions and offers interactive sensory features, such as audible and tactile feedback to provide an enhanced user experience.

C950de Color Printer

Lexmark's C950de color printer, a companion to the Lexmark X950 color MFP Series and equipped with many of the same features, also offers workgroups brilliant color printing, A3 functionality and easy-to-use workflow solutions, accessible via the 4.3-inch color touch screen. The intuitive interface, which features leading-edge display design and interaction, closely resembles a smartphone and provides a rich, informative experience for users. Instead of simple beeps and tones, contextual sound delivers high-fidelity, differentiated tones from the touch screen, making it easier to distinguish between specific alerts and touch commands.
