Lexmark advances solutions capabilities in mid-range segment with new colour printers, smart MFPs

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, June 21, 2012 – Lexmark International, Inc. (NYSE: LXK) today announced two new families of colour laser products that build upon the company’s long-standing leadership and expertise in enterprise printing and imaging. The Lexmark X740 Series of colour laser multifunction products (MFPs) and Lexmark C740 Series of colour laser printers extend compelling solutions advancements to Lexmark’s mid-range line of colour workgroup devices, further strengthening the company’s competitiveness in this important market segment. With these new products, Lexmark has enhanced its colour offerings for workgroups of 10 to15 people who require the latest productivity-enhancing software advancements and robust, high-quality colour printing.

The Lexmark X740 Series and Lexmark C748 family are highlighted by intuitive 7-inch and 4.3-inch colour touch screens, respectively, that provide tablet-like navigation. These sophisticated touch screens are the gateway to several pre-loaded applications, such as Forms and Favorites and Scan to E-mail on the Lexmark X740 Series, and can also be tailored easily with additional time-saving solutions based on unique business or workgroup needs.

The Lexmark X740 Series and Lexmark C740 Series deliver high-quality colour documents consistently from the first to the last page. Equipped standard with Lexmark Named Color Replacement, businesses can store pre-defined colours on the devices to ensure precise and consistent colour matching for branded materials. Print jobs that might otherwise have to be outsourced and cost thousands can now be done internally with vibrant colours that meet the highest standard of accuracy.

For added productivity, all models within the Lexmark X740 Series and Lexmark C740 Series boast a maximum paper input capacity of 4,300 sheets. Optional 550-sheet trays and 2,000-sheet high capacity trays allow users to load multiple paper types and further customise input options to meet specific printing needs.

The new MFPs and printers announced today are equipped with advanced, state-of-the-art security to help protect valuable corporate data. Authentication, authorisation, audit logging and hard disk wiping¹ are each offered as standard, out-of-the-box capabilities and do not require the purchase of additional data security kits.

Like the large workgroup and other mid-range workgroup devices in Lexmark’s product portfolio, the Lexmark X740 Series and Lexmark C740 Series are fully capable of being deployed in managed print services (MPS) engagements.
