Lexmark makes home and student printing affordable and easy with built-in wireless and front laptop port

KUALA LUMPUR, 5, August – Lexmark International, Inc. (NYSE: LXK) today introduced a new line of inkjet printers and All-in-One devices geared toward the home and student user. The line includes a wireless All-in-One as well as the world’s only All-in-One with a front laptop port for quick and easy printing access.

According to IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly PC Tracker, the portable share of the PC market is almost 45% in the third quarter of 2007 and this is largely expected to reach 50% by the end of 20081, illustrating the increasing popularity of mobile computing. IDC added that the laptop sales growth in 2007 was more than 33% over desktop growth.

To serve the growing number of mobile laptop users, Lexmark’s new X4650 All-in-One makes wireless printing easier and more affordable. For those who need quick and easy printing from their laptop, but do not have wireless capabilities, Lexmark also offers an All-in-One inkjet printer with a unique quick-connect front laptop port.

Rooke, Lexmark executive vice president and president of its Consumer Printer Division. “Our new Home and Student line offers freedom of mobility on printers that are very easy to use. In addition, they include industry-leading lifetime phone support, and we have wrapped them up in a sleek new product design.”

Other new features that make printing mobility easier than ever include:
Fast and easy installation in as little as 10 minutes.
A new, intuitive operation panel design.
Web Toolbar printing aids for easy Internet printing.
