Lexmark International introduced three new colour laser printer families to help business customers save time and money by printing professional colour documents in house. The Lexmark C780n, C782n and C935dn colour laser printer families are designed for business workgroups that need access to high-quality, reliable colour printing technology.

"Color can have a tremendous impact for businesses, but it can be expensive for customers to use widely, especially if they are outsourcing documents to the local print shop," said Paul Rooke, Lexmark executive vice president and president of its Printing Solutions and Services Division. "These new printers give customers a more flexible and efficient way to get the same impact without breaking their budget."

With extensive media-handling capabilities and outstanding print quality, the Lexmark C780n, C782n and C935dn printer families can help customers implement color easily across their business. These new printers can be used for everything from printing color logos on letterhead and labels to help businesses increase their brand awareness to helping increase productivity in a retail store by printing color photos of each product on shelf planograms. The Lexmark C780n, C782n and C935dn printer families can print on difficult media like heavy card stock for documents such as invitations and oversized banner paper for signage and can also be used for unique applications such as printing color photos of patients on hospital wristbands to increase patient safety.

While these products offer a cost effective alternative to color document outsourcing, they also feature Lexmark's Color Care technology to help customers manage color usage and control the cost of color in general office printing. For example, network administrators can control which employees can access the color capabilities on each device to make sure that color is only used when necessary. Customers can also use unique tools such as the coverage estimator, which helps customers calculate the approximate cost of specific print jobs so they can determine the most cost-effective way to get large jobs printed.

The Lexmark C780n color laser printer family features print speeds up to 29 pages per minute (ppm) in color and up to 33 ppm in monochrome (A4) for prices starting at 989.00 USD*.  The Lexmark C782n color laser printer family is designed for customers who need more powerful performance, additional paper handling options, including finishing such as stapling or want the ability to upgrade to a multifunction device. It prints at speeds up to 33 ppm in color and 38 ppm in monochrome (A4) for prices starting at 1 489.00 USD*. The Lexmark C935dn color laser printer family gives customers access to even faster speeds, printing up to 40 ppm in color and 45 ppm in monochrome, as well as A3 ledger or tabloid printing capabilities and even more finishing options such as hole-punch and booklets, for prices starting at 4 029.00 USD*. It also features two-sided printing standard to help customers reduce paper usage and conserve resources.

All three printer families are also supported by Lexmark's new universal print driver, which helps customers increase productivity by making it easy to print to multiple Lexmark products using the same, intuitive driver. Lexmark's new color laser printers will be available through Lexmark's channel partners.
