Lexmark International SA today announced the new office printing solution that offers a powerful price/performance proposition and enhances Lexmark`s offerings for fast-growing markets.
The Lexmark W812 is an A3 (wide-format) monochrome laser printer designed to meet the distributed printing needs of emerging 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 and engineering, cartography, retail signage and oversized labels.
The Lexmark W812 fulfils a variety of key customer requirements, including low acquisition cost, small footprint and exceptional print quality.
"The Lexmark W812 is a robust and versatile 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," commented Hans Horn, MD of Lexmark International SA.
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 application such as barcode printing and printing directly from the Internet.
Unrivalled ease of use is a distinguishing feature of the Lexmark W812. Lexmark MarkVision software simplifies network set-up and printer management, and an intuitive operator panel makes access to specialty functions fast and efficient.
The Lexmark W812 expands the company`s mono and colour laser families of award-winning printing solutions, and is a continuation of Lexmark`s price/performance leadership for general office printing and special applications.
"The development of the Lexmark W812 reinforces our commitment to provide customer solutions in the distributed output environment, which is the direction the market is moving," concluded Horn.
