LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 12 - Lexmark International, Inc. (NYSE: LXK) today introduced a significant expansion to its award-winning line of color printers and multifunction products (MFPs), each device highlighted by an intuitive color touch screen that enables customers to access and manage their documents faster and with greater flexibility. Additionally, the company announced Markvision Enterprise, new browser-based device management software to give IT administrators better visibility into managing fleets of printing devices.
The easy-to-use, customizable touch screens serve as the access point to each of the devices' robust technology -- giving users fast access to the functions, shortcuts and workflows used most often in their business.
"The new touch screens we've introduced on these smart devices bring even more ease of use to our customers and serve as the gateway to access Lexmark's powerful platform of pre-loaded and customizable solutions that optimize business workflow," said Marty Canning, Lexmark executive vice president and president of its Printing Solutions and Services Division. "Through our continued focus, investment and leadership in delivering smart devices and innovative solutions to the market, we are helping our customers become more efficient and add more productivity to their day."
Lexmark X792 color laser MFPs
The Lexmark X792 family of color laser MFPs brings workgroup productivity to new heights with exceptional multifunction performance and productivity solutions. The 10.2-inch touch screen is the largest in its class(1) and enables access to Print Preview features that help users select documents or specific pages within a document to manage directly at the device. Additionally, new interactive sensory features on the touch screen provide feedback to guide the user and make completing tasks on the device more intuitive.
Featuring the fastest print and copy speeds in its category(1) at 50 pages per minute, the Lexmark X792 family is available in six models that can be configured with additional input/output options and advanced finishing capabilities based on the needs of the workgroup. In fact, it is the only device in its class(1) to offer hole punch finishing capability. This flexibility, combined with vibrant color printing, means businesses can produce quality color output in-house and reduce the time and costs associated with outsourcing jobs.

The Lexmark C792 family of color laser printers, the single function version of the Lexmark X792 MFP family, includes the only A4 (8.5-inch x 11-inch) color laser printer in its class(2) to feature a touch screen (4.3-inch). The new flash interface, similar to a smart phone, enables users to operate the printer with ease and confidence through an intuitive navigation and simple business workflow solutions.
