Recognized in the small workgroup color printer multifunction product (MFP) category, Lexmark International Inc.'s (NYSE: LXK)X560n color laser MFP has earned a Spring 2008 "Pick of the Year" award from Buyers Laboratory Inc. (BLI), a leading printer and multifunctional testing laboratory.

The Lexmark X560n was selected for its ease-of-use, good feedback to end-user workstations and comprehensive management utilities. "The Lexmark X560n offers very good overall productivity and a very good feature set for a competitive price," said Marlene Orr, BLI senior printer analyst. "It also offers the highest toner yields of competitive products tested, which contributes to further improved productivity and an attractive cost per page."

“Pick of the Year” awards are presented by BLI semi-annually to the products that perform the best in their respective categories throughout BLI’s rigorous laboratory tests. During the tests, BLI evaluates all critical performance areas, including reliability, image quality, productivity, print drivers, feedback to workstations, administrative utilities, ease-of-use, network setup, toner yield, cost of ownership and more.

At an estimated street price of $999*, the Lexmark X560n is ideally suited for workgroups that need color printing and multifunction capabilities. Fast, robust and network ready, the Lexmark X560n features business-class performance, printing at speeds up to 31 pages per minute (ppm) in black and 20 ppm in color. It also features the highest-yield cartridges and lowest supplies intervention rate in its class. The Lexmark X560n is the first color laser MFP under $1,000 to offer 10,000-page** aftermarket toner cartridges in all four colors to help give customers a low cost-per-page and minimize environmental impact because fewer cartridges are needed.

"The X560n delivers excellent quality and performance at a price that any small, medium or large business can afford," said Marty Canning, Lexmark vice president and president of its Printing Solutions and Services Division. "Customers can elevate their office productivity easily with the X560n, and we're pleased that it has been recognized with this prestigious BLI 'Pick of the Year' award."
