Lexmark International, the printer manufacturer, today unveiled three high-performance inkjet All-In-Ones (AIOs) for consumers with varying needs and budgets.  Sporting a stylish new look, the AIOs offer up to 4800 dots per inch (dpi) print resolution, high quality scanning and copying, integrated photo editing software and Lexmark's trademark ease-of-use technology across the entire line.  These products are launched as part of Lexmark's robust 2003 consumer line, which includes colour inkjet printers, photo printers and photo papers also announced today. 

The X1150 All-In-One Creative Centre is an easy-to-use three in one for users looking to unlock their creativity.  For demanding home users, Lexmark offers the X6150 All-In-One Productivity Centre, a four in one with standalone colour* fax capabilities in addition to print, PC-free copy and flatbed scan functionality.  The X6170 All-In-One Professional Centre, a four in one, is designed with small office/home office customers in mind, and includes an automatic document feeder to expedite the copying and faxing of multiple page documents. 

"In 2001, Lexmark pioneered the consumer-priced All-in-One category with the X73, before broadening the appeal of the category with the sub-£100 X75 in 2002.  With three new All-in-One inkjets that feature choices at the entry-level and top of the line, our commitment to evolving this market segment is evident," said Lucy Parsons, Marketing Operations Manager, Consumer Printer Division. "Our product line is designed to meet the needs of all consumers, whether they are seeking creative printing options for their home or reliable small business solutions."
