Lexmark's New Inkjet All-in-Ones are Easy to Use and Easy on the Budget

CreativePro Staff

Lexmark International, Inc. (NYSE: LXK) today introduced two All-in-One (AIO) inkjet printers that set new standards for price and performance, including the Lexmark P4350 , which is the industry’s first AIO with a color LCD screen at $129.*
Lexmark’s latest AIOs make higher-end technology more broadly available through new consumer-friendly price points. These feature-rich printers include flatbed scanners, PictBridge, borderless photo printing, LCD screens and functionality with or without a PC.  Both use Lexmark’s Evercolor™ inks to deliver brilliant photos that last longer than most traditional photos under display conditions without fading, and more than 200 years stored in photo albums**. 
“The Lexmark P4350 and X3350 take our commitment to ease of use to a new level by expanding our photo printing capabilities at even more affordable prices that are, quite simply, a great value for consumers,” said Najib Bahous, Lexmark vice president and president of its Consumer Printer Division.
Lexmark P4350
The Lexmark P4350 makes the All-in-One experience easier by including a 1.7 inch color LCD screen that provides users with the ability to preview their output in full color before printing.  Photo editing features are also available, with or without a PC, allowing users to customize their photos quickly and easily. No other printer under $150 has this premium feature.

• Printing from digital cameras via PictBridge and camera cards

With print speeds of up to 22 pages per minute (ppm) in black and up to 15 ppm in color, the X3350  is one of the fastest AIOs in its class.  Additionally, no other competitive model exceeds its 48-bit color scan depth. The X3350 offers consumers:

• Printing from digital cameras via PictBridge 
• Copy, reduce or enlarge function from 25 percent to 400 percent,
• Resizing images to standard photo sizes with the touch of a button,
