Lexmark International, Inc. (NYSE: LXK) recently earned Best Hardware Solution and Best of Show honors at CMP Media's 2006 XChange Tech Innovator Conference.

Lexmark beat out 37 other vendors, including HP, for the awards, which were based on votes by channel partners in attendance at the conference.

The Best Hardware Solution award recognizes products that offer strong profit margins and market opportunity, contribute to solving real business technology needs, and are backed by strong channel programs. The award reflects Lexmark's entire product line, including monochrome and color single function laser printers and laser multifunction products.

The Best of Show award is based on the total number of votes received across all six XChange XCellence award categories.

"Lexmark consistently delivers high-quality, reliable products that channel partners can leverage to help their customers increase productivity and reduce costs.  Winning these XChange XCellence Awards for the second year in a row at XChange Tech Innovator is a true testament to the value that Lexmark brings to its channel partners and speaks volumes about how Lexmark is seen in the market," said Nancy Hammervik, vice president of XChange.

"Our partners are essential to Lexmark's success. The channel is a top priority for us, and we are very pleased to receive this recognition," said Paul Rooke, Lexmark executive vice president and president of its Printing Solutions and Services Division.
