New Lexmark wireless AIOs pack productivity punch, make freedom more affordable
LEXINGTON, Ky., Aug. 21 // -- Lexmark International, Inc. (NYSE:LXK) today introduced three full-featured wireless all-in-one (AIO) printers delivering industry-leading value for small office/home office (SOHO) professionals and combining the flexibility of wireless connectivity, the efficiency of automatic two-sided printing and the convenience of easy installation.
With the addition of the new Lexmark X6570, the Lexmark X7550 and the Lexmark X4850, Lexmark's new wireless AIO line delivers robust and reliable solutions to meet the rigorous demands of SOHO professionals. Lexmark's research reveals that SOHO professionals are so busy that they work on their personal time - nights or weekends - an average of three days per week(1). Most are already using a wireless home network, according to the study, and two-thirds of participants said that a wireless printer would complete their wireless set-up at home.
"Lexmark's new all-in-ones deliver business-class productivity with the added advantages of wireless to help busy professionals get more done quickly, easily and affordably," said Paul Rooke, Lexmark executive vice president and president of its Consumer Printer Division.
Wireless AIOs can boost productivity for SOHO professionals by allowing them to print wirelessly from anywhere within range of their wireless network. Wireless AIOs also allow multiple computer users to share the same wireless printer, eliminating the need for multiple devices(2). With Lexmark's new AIO printers, not only can users print wirelessly, but they can scan, fax and access media card slots wirelessly as well.
Lexmark now offers a full line of the most affordable wireless printers in the market. The line's robust features include:
o Automatic two-sided printing, which saves paper and the environment.
o A color LCD for easy stand-alone printing, scanning, copying and
faxing.
o Pigmented Lexmark evercolor2 ink, which is water resistant and offers
increased resistance against fading and the smudging associated with
highlighter pens.
o Simple, guided wireless installation.
o The exclusive Lexmark Toolbar, which saves time, paper, money and
frustration by making Web printing more efficient.
o Photo media card slots and a PictBridge(TM) port for easy access to
photos.
o Borderless photo printing with Lexmark evercolor2 print technology for
vibrant, resilient prints that can last up to 100 years on Lexmark's
PerfectFinish(TM) paper(3).
o Easy scan-back proof sheets for quick, quality photo prints.
o Exclusive Lexmark Imaging Studio Software, which makes it easy to crop,
rotate and resize photos, plus one-touch color fix and red eye
reduction.
In addition, only Lexmark backs the quality of its wireless printers with an exclusive Protection Guarantee(4) with next-business-day replacement for up to one year after purchase.
