Lexmark rolls out new all in one printers for business

01.09.2009
Lexmark International on Tuesday announced the release of a total of eight new all-in-one inkjet devices for small businesses and home offices, priced from $99 to $399. All of the new printers should be available now at participating retailers.

Four new models have been added to the : The Platinum, Prestige, Prevail and Prospect, priced at $399, $299, $199 and $169 respectively. All feature 48-bit CIS scanners and can print at up to 33 pages per minute in black, 30 pages per minute in color.

The Platinum prints, scans, copies and faxes. A 50-page automatic document feeder is included, along with 10/100baseT Ethernet, USB 2.0 interface and 802.11n wireless networking. The device is PictBridge-certified and supports direct input from many different flash memory storage cards.

Both the Platinum and Prestige feature a 4.3-inch Web-enables touchscreen interface that lets you create customized one-touch "SmartSolutions" to handle common tasks like scanning to e-mail, viewing photo-sharing sites and more. The Prestige has the same print speed, two-sided output and 802.11n Wi-Fi support as the Platinum, but eschews fax capability and a second paper tray.

The Prevail retains 802.11n Wi-Fi capability, but doesn't have the 4.3-inch "SmartSolutions" interface. And the Prospect has a smaller ADF and more limited paper input, trading 802.11n Wi-Fi for 802.11g instead.
