SYDNEY, 1 October 2009 – Lexmark Australia and New Zealand today launched its full range of eight multi-function printers (MFPs) for small and medium businesses. The new range includes three web-connected MFPs with Lexmark's myTouch capacitive 4.3" touch screen technology. The touch screen MFPs will be available at competitive price points ranging from AU$399 to AU$599 Inc GST.

“We’ve developed a product range with innovative solutions and functionality as unique as the small businesses we serve, taking our customers way beyond printing,” said Paul Rooke, Lexmark executive vice president and president of the company’s Imaging Solutions Division. “From the real estate agent faced with making a difficult sale, to the construction company crunching every cent, we know that now more than ever, small businesses have limited resources, and these MFPs are business partners that help them save both time and money.”

Lexmark is proud to deliver an innovative new technology that enables businesses to easily streamline the way they work. Through the touch screen, businesses can use or create simple, one-touch applications, SmartSolutions, which enable them to save precious time normally wasted on repetitive, multi-step tasks such as group faxing, scan to email templates and more.

Lexmark’s new inkjet range includes other features and functionality that enhance a business’ efficiency. These include:

  • Vizix print technology – Lexmark's new Vizix technology includes separate ink cartridges and provides top speed and quality across the entire range of new inkjets. This enables customers to choose a printer based on their unique business needs and not have to sacrifice on speed or quality at any price point.
  • Wireless –Lexmark delivers wireless capability across the entire range of new inkjet MFP products. Additionally, Lexmark is the first to introduce Wireless-N (IEEE 802.11n) for customers in need of longer range and more reliable signals for faster file transfer rates3.
