CRN Names Lexmark MFPs, Color Laser
printers to top five Channel Best-sellers Lists
5-10-2007
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."
