Venture Computer, the sole distributor in Southern Africa for Lexmark International, today announced the Lexmark Z42 Color Jetprinter. No other printer offers 2400 x 1200 dots per inch (dpi) resolution - the industry`s highest available - in this price range. The new printer is designed to meet the needs of the most discriminating home users, by delivering sharp text and crisp image output in black and colour ink on all paper types.
With its high-performance features, the Z42 fulfils the needs of both traditional PC and Mac home users, by providing built-in parallel cable and Universal Serial Bus (USB) compatibility and fast print speeds of up to 10 pages per minute (ppm) in black text and five ppm in colour.
Other Lexmark signature features that enable ultimate ease of use with the Z42 include:
Exclusive Accu-Feed(TM) paper handling system that virtually eliminates paper jams and mis-feeds; Easy one-click printer driver installation; Quick open-and-load cartridge installation; Convenient ink level indicators; and A warranty, featuring a next-business-day-exchange.
"The Lexmark Z42 Color Jetprinter is one of the best values consumers will find in a home inkjet printer,`` said Richard Fearon, Business Development Director at Venture Computer. "Lexmark is giving home users technology from many higher priced printer models, but at a price that fits their needs.``
Lexmark`s strategy with its "Z``-series of printers has been to drive the highest technology features down into consumer price points. Lexmark is perpetuating this trend of affordable technology by introducing its entire 2000 consumer inkjet line at varying price points and feature sets. The Lexmark Z42 joins the Lexmark Z52 Color Jetprinter, introduced earlier this year for advanced home and SOHO users, in providing the highest resolution in the inkjet industry in both black and colour on all paper types. This high-resolution technology enables crisp photos and images that are sharper and more vivid than those produced with lower resolution printers. The Z42`s 2400 x 1200 dpi resolution and small seven picoliter drop size work together to smooth and blend colours, producing high-quality photo images even on plain paper.
