LEXINGTON, Ky. - 05/10/2007
CRN, a leading channel publication, recently recognized Lexmark International, Inc. (NYSE: LXK) multifunction products (MFPs) and color laser printers among the top five best-selling brands in the channel.
Lexmark was the top-growth best-seller in the MFP segment, according to The NPD Group, a market-research firm that partnered with CRN to determine the Channel Best-Sellers list. CRN said Lexmark's MFPs gained more market share than any other company's MFPs in the top five.
Lexmark's MFP lineup ranges from the Lexmark X342n for small businesses and workgroups, featuring fast speeds up to 27 pages per minute (ppm) for just $399*, up to the Lexmark X854e, which features a large, 8-inch vivid color touchscreen interface that can be customized to simplify the most complicated business processes at the touch of an icon. It offers fast performance up to 55 ppm and extensive paper handling capabilities, including wide-format support for large, enterprise workgroups for an estimated street price of $16,999*.
"A lot of the features Lexmark has added to their MFPs, such as security features, PDF-thumb-drive functionality…have probably been the big reasons it's done well," Joe Elliott, sales manager at Elliott Services and Peripherals, a Conover, N.C., solution provider that partners with Lexmark, told CRN. "Lexmark has made it easier and more sales-rep friendly, and given us more incentives to sell Lexmark."
Lexmark offers numerous incentives to solution providers and value-added resellers through Profits in Printing, which provides rebate programs and other margin-enhancement offerings to loyal Lexmark partners.
CRN also recognized Lexmark among the top five best-sellers in the color laser printer market.
Lexmark's color laser printer lineup begins with the C500n, an affordable network-ready printer featuring speeds up to 31 ppm in monochrome and 8 ppm in color for just $349*, up to the new Lexmark C935dn color laser printer family for customers who need more advanced functionality for prices starting at $3,199*. The Lexmark C935dn features fast print speeds up to 40 ppm in color and 45 ppm in monochrome, as well as A3 ledger or tabloid printing capabilities and finishing options such as stapling, hole-punch and booklets. It also comes equipped with standard two-sided printing to help customers reduce paper usage and conserve resources.
"We are committed to developing high-quality, high-value products, solutions and service offerings that help our channel partners add more value to their customers and more profit to their business," said Paul Rooke, Lexmark executive vice president and president of its Printing Solutions and Services Division. "We are pleased to receive this recognition from CRN for our unique strengths in the channel."
