Lexmark International, Inc.'s (NYSE: LXK) X560n, the latest addition to its color laser multifunction product (MFP) line, has been recognized with a Highly Recommended rating by BERTL, a leading independent test lab. BERTL gave the Lexmark X560n "four stars" for its affordability, image quality and ease of use in navigating the control panel, print drivers and included software.

"At Lexmark's estimated street price of $999^*, the X560n is competitively priced, and ideal for budget-conscious enterprises that are sensitive to price but still require a color-capable office imaging device that does it all – print, copy, scan and fax," said BERTL in its review.

The Lexmark X560n is ideally suited for medium and large 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.

The Lexmark X560n is easy to maintain and operate, and 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 of the need for fewer cartridges.

"The X560n is a high-performance printer full of features and functionality that helps workgroups easily elevate office productivity without breaking their budgets," said Marty Canning, Lexmark vice president and president of its Printing Solutions and Services Division. "We are pleased to have our newest color laser MFP earn accolades from BERTL."
