LEXINGTON, KY, Feb 5, 2025 – Lexmark has unveiled significant enhancements to its core printing solutions. The company has introduced three new models for its 9-Series printers and multifunction products, alongside AI-powered improvements to its Lexmark Cloud Services. These updates underscore Lexmark’s dedication to innovative printing solutions accessible to businesses of all sizes.
Expanded 9-Series Offers Versatility, Simplicity, and Sustainability
The Lexmark 9-Series, hailed as “disruptive” by IDC upon its launch, continues to gain traction. With the addition of three new models—CX950, CX951, and MX953—the series now offers a broader range of options, including print speeds from 25 to 55 ppm and choices between monochrome and color options. This expansion allows businesses to tailor their solutions, whether for individual use or large workgroups needing A3 output.
These new additions build on the existing lineup of models, which includes CX833, CX961, CX962, CX963, and CS963. Chris White, Lexmark’s Director of Global Product Portfolio, praised the series, stating, “The 9-Series shines as the premier line of printing innovation, offering the best of Lexmark craftsmanship in an A3 package.”
Lexmark Cloud Services Enhanced with Cloud Solution Center
Lexmark Cloud Services (LCS), recognized as an industry leader by Quocirca in 2024, has been bolstered with the introduction of the Lexmark Cloud Solution Center (CSC). This new offering includes advanced AI-driven features like translation and redaction, enhancing the platform’s ability to manage print fleets, secure outputs, and automate workflows.
LCS now provides:
- Fleet Management: Centralized visibility, remote monitoring, and app/firmware deployment across Lexmark devices.
- Print Management: Controlled print release and real-time analytics to enhance document security.
- Capture and Workflow: Streamlined document workflows with AI for faster processing and accuracy.
Larry Early, Lexmark’s Director of Global Software and Services Portfolio, emphasized the transformative impact of these enhancements, saying, “Lexmark Cloud Services empowers businesses to boost productivity by automating document workflows through the cloud.”
AI-Powered Translation Streamlines Processes
A leading school district, Fayette County Public Schools, has already benefited from Lexmark’s AI translation features. According to Principal Michael Jones, these solutions have been instrumental in reducing administrative burdens and speeding up translation processes.
Jones explained, “Our district handles numerous documents in various languages, and the Lexmark Cloud Solution Center has significantly expedited our translation workflow. Users can easily translate documents, which used to require sending them to the district office for manual translation. The speed and accuracy of this service are unparalleled.”
This functionality is part of a broader suite of AI-powered tools in the Cloud Solution Center, designed to simplify and enhance document management processes for businesses.
