Better Buys for Business recognises Lexmark colour lasers with Editor's Choice awards

Lexington, Ky, 05 Mar 2008

Better Buys for Business, an independent reviewer of document imaging equipment, has awarded an Editor's Choice rating to Lexmark International's C530, C532, C782 and C935 families of colour laser printers.

The printers were recognised in Better Buys for Business' 2008 Colour Laser and Business Inkjet Printer Guide. The cover of the guide featured Lexmark's C935hdn departmental colour laser printer.

In its review, Better Buys for Business gave accolades to Lexmark's C530 and C532 series for their rapid speed and affordability, calling them "another Lexmark breakthrough in speed and price for colour laser printing." The Lexmark C530 and C532 are great for small business workgroups, offering speeds of up to 22 pages per minute (ppm) in colour and 24 ppm in monochrome for prices starting at $499*. In 2007, the Lexmark C530dn, C532n and C532dn also received Editor's Choice ratings from Better Buys for Business.

The Lexmark C782 series was recognised for its versatility, impressive speed and value. Better Buys for Business commented that the printers in the Lexmark C782 series are "capable colour printers that offer serious production capacity at a moderate price." With prices ranging from R14,000.00 to R19,000.00*, the Lexmark C782 series can print up to 35 ppm in colour and 40 ppm in monochrome and offers extensive paper handling options for larger workgroups. The Lexmark C782n has "excellent speed and good features," said Better Buys for Business.

Noting the features and speed of Lexmark's C935 series, Better Buys for Business said, "Lexmark's new, faster entry in the colour ledger-size printer market is a standout." Starting at R35 500.00*, the Lexmark C935 series offers wide-format printing and advanced finishing options. Designed for workgroups that print high volumes, the Lexmark C935 series prints at speeds up to 40 ppm in colour and 45 ppm in monochrome. Better Buys for Business also recently awarded Lexmark's C935 family of colour laser printers with a 2007 Innovative Product of the Year award, which is given to a product or family of products that introduce an exciting new technology.

"The customer is our top priority when we design our products and services. We have a unique ability to anticipate their needs and help them accomplish their goals over the long term," said Marty Canning, Lexmark VP and president of its Printing Solutions and Services Division. "Lexmark is honoured to receive the Editor's Choice distinction from Better Buys for Business for these printers."
