Lexmark has launched the Lexmark 9-Series, a family of Lexmark-designed A3 colour printers and multifunction products (MFPs) that boldly resets the industry standard.
Built by evolving Lexmark’s renowned A4 technology, the 9-Series is squarely focused on delivering versatility, simplicity and sustainability. The company started with its award-winning A4 technology and scaled it up through years of development, testing and innovation. The result is a line of fully featured, highly sophisticated A3 devices that are easy to use, manage, service and feel good about.
“With the introduction of our new internally developed A3 platform, the Lexmark 9-Series offers all the benefits of a simpler A4 device in a fully featured A3 package,” said Melanie Hudson, Lexmark senior vice president and chief commercial officer. “And of course, the line retains our commitment to products, services and solutions that are reliable, durable, cost-saving and Secure by Design.”
The Lexmark 9-Series is composed of eight models: the Lexmark CX963, CX962, CX961, CS963, CX833, CX951, CX950 and MX953.
The series offers a broad range of media size support (A6 to SRA3), high-volume duty cycles, a common set of modular paper-handling options, finishing capabilities and professional colour features including Pantone calibration.
Its interface streamlines workflows by providing simple instructions and prompts. For routine maintenance, toner cartridges can be replaced with one hand, easily understood visual cues are displayed, and serviceable areas are easy to access and identify.
The series’ post-consumer recycled (PCR) content is 56% by weight for all base-model MFPs and 73% by weight for the line’s base-model printer, based on IEEE calculation procedures — figures that lead the industry. * The space-saving, energy-efficient design helps reduce the carbon footprint. The 9-Series is designed and built to last seven years or more. Having few components helps reduce the likelihood of technical failure while also minimising the service time required for repairs and maintenance. Experienced technicians can perform the 10 most common service actions, even highly complex tasks, in less than 15 minutes, according to Lexmark testing.
The entire line of devices has received Energy Star certification; EPEAT certification is pending. And all this comes from a company that technology analyst firm Quocirca named a leader in sustainability, noting that Lexmark “sets a remarkable standard in the industry.”
