The Lexmark W812 monochrome laser printer introduced today by Lexmark International, Inc. (NYSE: LXK) offers a powerful price/performance proposition and enhances Lexmark’s offerings for key target markets. The Lexmark W812 is an A3 (wide-format) solution designed to meet the distributed printing needs of Asian markets and the special-application requirements of small and medium businesses. The W812 is also versatile enough to handle vertical industry applications such as computer-aided design (CAD) and engineering, cartography, retail signage and oversized labels.

The Lexmark W812 fulfills a variety of key customer requirements, including affordable acquisition cost, small footprint and exceptional print quality.

“The Lexmark W812 is a robust printer that incorporates the performance, reliability and capabilities demanded by the world’s largest corporations, but at an affordable price that can fit into any company’s budget,” said Paul Rooke, Lexmark vice president and president of its Printing Solutions and Services Division.

Engineered to provide the best price/performance in its class of A3 printers, the Lexmark W812 prints at 26 pages per minute, provides duplexing capability, handles a variety of media including heavy card stock, and can be configured for tailored applications such as barcode printing and printing directly from the Internet.
