New Lexmark laser printers, MFPs deliver high-impact, affordable color
performance

LEXINGTON, Ky., May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The most award-winning line
of laser printers(1) in the United States became even stronger today with the
introduction of Lexmark International, Inc.'s (NYSE: LXK) new Lexmark C730
Series of color laser printers and Lexmark X730 Series of color laser
multifunction products (MFPs). The new products enable large and midsize
workgroups to efficiently and affordably enhance business-critical documents
with color.

"We know customers are looking for affordable in-house color printing on a
device that can reliably produce page after page," said Marty Canning, Lexmark
vice president and president of its Printing Solutions and Services Division.
"Beyond printing, our new color laser MFPs offer the same powerful solutions
capability as our award-winning monochrome laser MFPs, helping businesses
digitize document workflows, improving efficiency and saving money."

Lexmark X730 Series: color, power and productivity
The Lexmark X730 Series of color laser MFPs combines fast, high-quality color
printing, copying, faxing and scanning, all in one multifunction workhorse.
For prices beginning at $1,799(2), the robust design offers many of the same
functions as large, expensive color copiers at a lower price and a smaller
size that allows the device to be placed closer to users.

Smart solutions
The Lexmark X730 Series offers access to Lexmark's Embedded Solutions
Framework, which enables customizable or industry-specific solutions to
streamline paper-based processes, increasing productivity and reducing page
volumes. For example, health care providers can easily convert hard copy forms
to electronic medical records, and banks can turn a five-day loan application
process into a simple electronic procedure that can typically be completed in
less than one hour.

The Lexmark X730 Series also comes equipped with Lexmark's e-Task color touch
screen, which allows users to complete multi-step processes through the single
touch of an icon. Lexmark's innovative MyMFP feature boosts efficiency further
by allowing individuals to personalize the e-Task touch screen to their
specific needs and preferences.

Lexmark's advanced color-laser toner formula, combined with new temperature-
and humidity-sensing technology, ensures consistent high quality from the
first page to last. Customers can print anything from presentations and
reports to labels, envelopes and banners. The Lexmark X730 Series also offers
the highest paper handling capacity in its class(3) with input up to 3,200
sheets. This includes a Specialty Media Drawer option, which is ideal for
large stacks of envelopes, and a 2,000-sheet high-capacity feeder.

Cutting-edge security
The Lexmark X730 Series is equipped with state-of-the-art security to help
protect valuable corporate data, including features such as user access
controls, secure data encryption and disk wiping.

Eco-responsible printing
Designed with the environment in mind, all models in the Lexmark X730 Series
include built-in two-sided printing to save paper. Eco-Mode and Quiet Mode
save energy and reduce noise. Additionally, these devices have instant warm-up
fusers and scanner lamps, which reduce energy consumption while ensuring fast
print jobs. The printers also ship with Lexmark Return Program Toner
Cartridges, which can be returned to Lexmark free of charge for
remanufacturing or recycling.

Lexmark C730 Series: a durable design for high-volume printing
Designed to fit easily on a desktop or in a small workstation, the Lexmark
C730 Series provides the durable printing platform for the X730 Series of
MFPs. Built for high-volume jobs, the C730 Series prints on a wide range of
paper types, from envelopes and labels to card stock. The Specialty Media
Drawer option offers more versatility, and customers can add up to four
stackable drawers to boost input capacity up to 4,300 sheets, the highest
capacity in its class(3).

For prices beginning at $699(2), the Lexmark C730 Series features a
user-friendly tiltable operator panel with a four-line display for simple
operation. A front USB port enables convenient walk-up printing of PDF
brochures, reports and other image files on both the printers and MFPs.

Customers can break free from cables with the wireless-ready C734dw, which is
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 802.11n draft 2.0(4).

'Green' machines
Eco-conscious features include built-in two-sided printing on most C730 Series
models in addition to an instant warm-up fuser and Eco-Mode to reduce power
consumption, and Quiet Mode to reduce noise. Customers can recycle empty toner
cartridges free of charge through the Lexmark Cartridge Collection Program.
