Everyone seems to be coming out with these great touch screen all-in-one printers lately, I love my touch screen Epson Artisan 800…

Lexmark International, Inc. today announced information about its full 2009 inkjet all-in-one (AIO) product line to be officially released on Sept. 1, 2009. Lexmark will deliver eight new AIO inkjets ideal for small to medium sized businesses. From new product designs to industry leading touch screen solutions, Lexmark is introducing a robust, more business focused line of inkjet printers than ever before.

Web-connected touch screen inkjets

The new line includes three Web-connected touch screen AIOs with Lexmark’s myTouch capacitive 4.3″ touch screen technology. The touch screen AIOs will be available at competitive price points ranging from $199 to $399.

Lexmark’s myTouch with SmartSolutions technology is an innovative, easy to use approach to user interfaces and includes easy-to-read graphical icons for basic AIO functions and “as needed” navigation for a more user-friendly experience.

 

With SmartSolutions, Lexmark is leveraging its experience with its award winning enterprise workflow solutions to now provide workflow solutions to SMB customers at more affordable price points to save them time, money and make them more efficient. SmartSolutions technology enables one-touch ‘customizations’ — unique workflows that eliminate repetitive tasks and pain points for each user. SmartSolutions technology has also been built to leverage third-party developers that can create tailored applications. Examples of current widget-like, customized solutions include:

  --  Shortcuts and workflows - time-saving customizable productivity
      features such as group faxing, scan to email templates and more
  --  ID card copy - scan the ID card and print both sides of the ID on a
      single sheet of paper; ideal for small businesses such as doctor
      offices where this feature immediately cuts up to 50 percent paper
      usage of this everyday task

  --  RSS feeds - business, weather, sports news, a company intranet - or
      whatever else the user wants to access via RSS is available directly
      on the touch screen and can even be e-mailed directly from the AIO

  New features

New features within the line further enable and enhance a business’ efficiency. Highlights include:

  --  Vizix print technology - Lexmark's new Vizix technology includes
      separate ink tanks and provides top speed and quality across the
      entire line 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 is the first printer manufacturer to deliver
      wireless capability across the entire line of new inkjet AIO 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 rates.
  --  Eco Mode - The new Eco Mode allows users to save paper and energy with
      a touch of the button. Eco Mode automates two sided printing, faxing
      and copying, saving businesses up to 50 percent of their paper usage
      and lowering overall costs.

  --  Business card scan - Lexmark's innovative business card scanning
      solution automatically uploads contact information to the most
      commonly used address book applications such as Microsoft Outlook,
      Windows CE or Palm OS(TM). This feature is ideal for business users
      looking to save time, eliminate clutter and organize their desks.

“This new line of AIOs enables SMBs to be more efficient and save money in today’s economic environment,” said Paul Rooke, Lexmark executive vice president and president of the company’s Imaging Solutions Division. “We’ve created our printers’ robust new design, innovative features and break-through technologies with their needs in mind.”
