Lexmark news stories

Lexmark, a global imaging and IoT solutions leader, launched its Publishing Platform for Retail (PPR) in Australia and New Zealand.

As the pandemic prioritised communication channels and the shift to remote work, IT departments fell behind in updating the security of print and IT infrastructure.

Lexmark A/NZ regional director says the aim is to help channel partners spend less time on on-site IT and maintenance.

The global imaging solutions leader says the program is designed to enhance channel partners’ service capabilities, and to support their sales and marketing efforts.

The work-from-home package for Australian channel partners is designed to support the demand from end-customers for a simplified print solution.

“We recognise that channel partners work with different brands. This software update is a practical response to this reality and a renewed commitment to empowering our channel partners to deliver the best value to their customers today.”

New agreement will work alongside existing partnership with Alloys who distribute Lexmark’s BSD range printers and consumables.

The new smaller and lighter devices are designed for small workgroups and small spaces.

CPM product launch reflects a customer centric offering, with a focus on ease of use, document security and cost control.

Researchers from NCC Group analysed different aspects of six mid-range enterprise printers manufactured by HP, Ricoh, Xerox, Lexmark, Kyocera, and Brother. 

Nuance has formed a strategic partnership with Lexmark to provide document imaging solutions in New Zealand and worldwide.

“We are pleased to be able to bring our non-traditional distribution capabilities to Lexmark's award-winning range of products."

United States printer manufacturer Lexmark is being acquired by a Chinese consortium in a US$3.6 billion deal.

"We see this new partnership as a positive step towards a strong relationship between our two companies in Australia and New Zealand."

Lexmark’s decision to dump its inkjet business and focus on the more profitable imaging and software businesses could be a positive for the New Zealand channel, according to one industry analyst.

Printers offer a greater opportunity to enhance business productivity than many realise, says Carmel Mosser, general manager, Lexmark Australia and New Zealand.

The X5650 is a multifunction printer with scanning and copying capabilities at the kind of price point we’ve come to expect from these all-in-one units.
